'Take Your Blood And Go on Home'

BUFFALO, Aug. 10 (U. P).— Red Cross blood bank officials today told Charles Steinwachs to take this. blood-donaling inten-

tions and go home. It wasn’t that the bank has too much blood. Authorities had just discovered that Steinwachs , was 67 years old instead of the 58 he had represented himself to be the three times he gave blood. Steinwachs said regular physical examinations has assured him of his fitness and he had made the donations only once every six months as his doctor advised. “My game may be up” he declared, “but my experience should show Red Cross officials they ought to extend the age limits past 60. They'd be opening the way for millions of more: donations.”

So. Police Sgt. Noel Stark dragged out his shotgun, and his aim was straight. Pets of Franky Bauer who lives in a house trailer, the monkeys picked the lock of their wire-screened pen and walked into the home of Mrs. Ruth Berninger, 834 S. Pennsylvania st.
