Gl ZING OUR v ORLD THE Once Over By Dick Morrison Th heart of the giver makei tb gift dear and precious." Martin Luther THE DONOHS The Red Cross Bloodmobile came and went again, on Monday, November Nov-ember 12, and sad to say, the take was not what it should have been. The yield was only thirty five pints. This was the lowest for any of the eleven visits the bloodmobile bloodmo-bile has made to Delta, and it was far and way under the normal quota of 125 pints. Because of this poor showing, Red Cross officials are said to be considering leaving Delta off the schedule of future stops. Such a result does not justify the high cost of bringing the eqipnient and personnel to the town Thds area has not always made such a poor showing. Other times, the quota has been met, and the highest number of pints collected on one stop here was 158. It is to be hoped that the Red Cross will give us another chance, and that West Millard will make a better showing In the future. After, all, the blood bank serves a very vital humanitarian purpose, for which there is no substitute in saving lives when It is needed. And blood-donning blood-donning Is really a very easy, simple sim-ple thing to do. It is impossible to say just wh tumors showed up this last trip. Some say the date was no-advertised no-advertised well enough. If so, thh omission may be rectified next time the Bloodmobile comes here, if there is a next time. The disappointing result of this trip should not, however, obscure the fact that a number of local people have been very faithful ir acting as donors whenever possible A list at hand shows eight names of local people who have given a gallon or more of blood. These are eligible to receive Rer Cross gallon donor pins. The R.C. pre sents what are called two gallon pins to the people who give a to tal of sixteen pints. One Delta man is well on his way to eligibility for a two gallon pin. He is Sterling Ster-ling Eennion. Sterling has eleven Get cold Fisher Beer in handy 6-pack cartons -Myour favorite grocery r drug jtore or tavern. ii WESTERN DISTRIBUTING CO. Eert Smith 334 E. 9th Sc-jh. Provo pints to his credit. He has never failed to show up when the Bloodmobile Blood-mobile called here. Next high on the list is Ferrin Lovell. Ferrin has given nine pints. Six other people have given eight each, while at least four have donated do-nated seven pints, and four six pints each. The list of "Gallon Donors,' 'as they are known, includes: Sterling Bennion, with 11 pints Ferrin Lovell, nine Marie Barben, eight Ralph Creed, eight Venice Davis eight Beiva Morris, eight Richard Morrison, eight Wayne Sorenson, eight What is the possible top limit? Probably as many pints as there are six-month intervals for any donor. By the time a donor gives twelve to fifteen pints, he has given giv-en about as much as he had to start with. Blood makes up about l13th the weight of the body, so most adults would have twelve to fifteen pints in their make-up. Giving Giv-ing a pint at a time, six months apart, brings no ill-effects, other factors in the donor's health being satisfactory. An Anti-Social Fellow Sunday's hunting trip up Oak City canyon in search of wild life for a series of pictures was rewarded re-warded with the opportunity fo: camera shots of one native creature and one, only, a porcupine. I spent from late afternoon until un-til dusk trying to get my uncooperative uncoop-erative subject to do something anything even move. But he just did nothing at all, and very little f that. There I was, throwing ks and twigs at him for mor than an hour, trying to stir him to some kind of activity; focusing the camera on him in the hope that he would do something interesting; interest-ing; but nothing stirring. It wa? a shame, too, because he was re-oosing re-oosing on a branch on the sunny side of a tree. He only aroused himself once. When he first became aware of my presence, he climed from a branch six feet up to one twice that high. Then he settlec" again, and just stayed put. Clearly, Clear-ly, he had no interest whatsoevei in me, and no fear of me. When a rock or twig would hit the tree near him, he would bestir himself only briefly, give a quick flick or two with his tail, and then return to his reveries. The flick of his tail meant only that if any Inquisitive In-quisitive creature had been snif fing around very close it would have got the quills. Dogs that walk up behind porcupines and sniff get quills in their noses that way. The porcupine doesn't throw juills; 'but that quick flick of the stubby tail can put the quills in contact with the dog's nose, and when this happens, the barbed quill oull out of porcy's tail and stay in doggie's nose, sometimes with murderous results. My picture may or may not turn out good. Protect ivecoloration gave he porcupine very much the same appearance as part of the tree. He would be hard to photograph. He looked as much like a large knot, or bump of wood, about the same gTey color as the bark as a creature could. Just a round bundle of quills occasionally flicking his tail. Head drawn in like a turtle's. Feet like wise. I am inclined to draw a socio-ec onomic analogy in things like this so pictures or no pictures, that por cupine gave me something to think about. He was like some people. while I was acting like other peo pie. All he wanted was to be let alone; while what I wanted was to induce him to behave in a way that suited me. I was wrong, of course, and he was right. I hail no business interfering with him. He was an Inoffensive creature, asking no favors, interfering with me and my affairs not at all. I was the one who was interfering, annoying him, for trivial purposes of my own. I was the aggressor. His attitude was strictly defensive. He didn't want to fight; didn't want to be disturbed, and he wouldn t fight back. But just let me go too far with my annoying interference; get too close just once, and he'd make me wish 1 had kept my dis tance, and how! I was like a social eoercionist. trying to make him eo-In eo-In what I wanted to d. He was an anti-social fellow wno just wasn't Interested in me and my pointless activities. Perhaps what was most maddening to mc was the fact that he, obviously, was neither afraid of nor interested n me, at all. Since he was ask ing no favors; warning noin.nji that I had to offer, there was no chance of striking a bargain. I was an inquisitive busybody and to that type there Is nothing as aggravating as the person 01 creature who asks only the right to be left alone, to go his own way. and mind his own business That's the attitude we busybodies lust can't stand. If I were incl.nefl to hold an exaggeried notion of my own importance, that porcupine would have taken it out of me. I don't think he was even glad when I left. I and my activities wore not even that important to fc:m. HUJ C.KT HUBBUB You readers probably know by ow that when It comes to autos t like them without fri'.'.v We have gore over a'.l that before. Yet w hen I bought my car. I did weaken a ittle on one poir.L I ra d extra to get a set cf sporty h-b caj:s. ...y thought was that these woui dress it up a l.ttie. while not adi- ing one whit to the trouble and expense of upkeep. As ti.T.e went on. though, and I got lo sizing up ail the other cars up anl down the streets. It oc-currfi oc-currfi to ir.e that I liked the wheels which h?.;! regular hubcaps Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Pace returned the best. Painted wheels, to match , to Delta Friday from a week's the car, and standard, not fancy j hub caps. j So I hired Jerry Justesen to paint my five wheels light blue, and bought a set of regular, ordinary, ! chome-plated hub caps and put : them on instead of the large bright metal discs with flashers which had graced my wheels up until that time. I swear that the net result ' is more attractive wheels. But then the fun began. The family didn't see it the way I did. ' They wanted the sporty hub caps, and no mistake. Why, didn't I know that teen agers, or at least some of them, like sporty hub caps so well that they will steal them off cars in sets in order to get them? Didn't that prove how desirable de-sirable they were? Nobody would think of stealing the hub caps I had just installed, I was told. (As if that was a disadvantage!) j At the moment, the dispute stands at an impasse. I have been odered to keep the sporty hub caps at hand, so we can put them back on at a moment's notice. Yet the blue painted wheels still are adorned adorn-ed with the smaller "regular" hub caps, and I still like them better that way. I don't care if sporty hub caps are all the rage, if they are so lucious-looking that hot-rodders will steal them to get them, or even if they are always used on Rolls-Ritzes. I have my idea of what makes a good looking wheel, and the majority of people have theirs. Let 'em have their flying saucers, I say. i The real clincher in favor of sporty hub caps, though, was hurl- j ed by one of the kids. "Why, daddy, j it will look like we can't afford sporty hub caps", she almost cried, j Now I ask you, where does that i leave everybody? If leaving off( sporty hub caps makes it look like i you can't afford them, when you don't want them anyway, are you supposed to put mem on jusi iu , look like you can? stay in Las Veas, Nevada.
