The first five donors this morn-ing had their pints of blood credit-ed to the account of Mrs. Geral-din-e Irving, Sugar House store manager who recently had three major operations in as many weeks. The rest of the donated blood will be credited to the Chamber of Commerce and the service groups. Members of those organi-zations may then request the blood when it is needed.

Mr. Hauert says that Sugar House and Highland Strip merch-ants will be asked to appeal to their employees to answer the call for live-givi- ng blood. Names of all donors will be published next week in the Inde-pendent. No appointment is needed.
