From 10:00 am. until 4:00 pm. in the Methodist church basement on Main street in Mentone a staff of trained Red Cross workers will accept blood donations. In announcing the above. Mrs. Orrin Smith, general Blood Program chairman for this county, added some interesting information on "what you give, when YOU give blood." There are 12 ounces of water. 2 l a ounces of hemoglobin. 1 teaspoon of salt. 1 ounce of protein. L'2o ounce of iron, and many small amounts of other minerals and vitamins. In answer to the question “What do you gain when you give a pint of blood" is the everlasting satisfaction *of knowing that your priceless, painless gift has helped someone to live. Blood saves lives, but it cannot be mined or manufactured. It must come from the veins of healthy men and women who feel the concern for the suffering of others and know that their blood can help to make the ill and disabled whole and well again. j.

Boat Licensing Backed By Wawasee Groups The Sargent Annex on Lake Wawasee was the scene of a large meeting, attended by several groups, last Friday night. Col. Kenneth Marlin of the enforcement division of the state conservation department, outlined a plan for the policing the lakes in a talk before representatives of the Wawasee Property Owners association, the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce, and the Syracuse Property Owners association “There is not enough money available for providing equipment needed to police the lakes and carry out a necessary’ educational program." said Marlin. In urging the licensing to bring about a safer operation of motor boats and strict enforcement of existing laws by efficient lake patrols. Marlin stated that a bill should be introduced in the legislature to license all motors used on boats. He declared there are now some 38.000 motor boats; an increase of 400 per cent during the past four years. The license, at the rate of $1.50 to $2.00 per motor, would be the same-on all boats and would be purchased yearly. The license plate given to the purchaser would be similar to the license given to automobile operators. This will provide a means of identifying a licensed operator and help in identifying stolen boats. s The Wawasee Property Owners, headed by Paul Warner, president, will help form a committee to sponsor this bill. Syracuse-Wa-wasee Chamber of Commerce and Syracuse Property Owners will also have representatives on the committee. A member of the conservation commission. Clifford Harshman, suggested that the group contact the senator and the representative from Kosciusko county and ask them to sponsor the bill. Sen. Floyd Stevens, who was present, asked that the committee draft the above bill and present it to him so that it can be studied before the legislative session in January. Discussed along with the new license proposal was an amendment to the state law requiring all motorboats to have correct exhausts; and the possibility of acquiring the four per cent tax refund for the conservation department.

New Deadlines For Ads, News, Are Announced A new schedule of news and advertising deadlines is now in effect at the Journal office and is explained tn detail elsewhere on this page. “During the three and one half months since we took over the Journal we have not only remodeled and re-equipped the com- r posing room and office, but in addition have handled an unprec- « edented volume of both advertising and job printing,” states W. W. Pauli, publisher. “As a result, it has not been possible until now to establish a regular schedule for deadlines, or publication time.” The new’ deadlines are essentially the same as those in effect prior to June' first. The Journal staff desires to point out, however, that late stories and late advertising copy are not barred from possible insertion. The deadlines are for the purpose of setting up a schedule whereby publication of either news or advertising material can be assured, provided of course such material meets the other requirements for publication and is in accord with the policy of the newspaper’s standards. The Journal will continue to be published on Thursday afternoon. Ordinarily, the papers will be delivered to the post office at 4 p. m. Office hours-at tne Journal are from 8:30 a. m. to 6 p. m. Monday through Saturday. News Items Wanted “Weekly newspapers can no longer afford the luxury of a staff of reporters to ferret out local news items,” Pauli said. Although wages in general have increased nearly 300 per cent, in the past 25 years, advertising rates have gone up only 50 per cent during the same period. We therefore have to depend to a great extent on the cooperation of everyone in the community to keep us informed, so that we can publish the news of interest to the community. We are particularly desirous of increasing both the quality and quantity of local news, and we will welcome suggestions as to how this may best be done. Correspondents, club publicity chairmen and reporters of schools and organizations, as well as all others who may have information of interest to the community, are urged to mail or telephone these items to us. just as soon after the event as possible.” BALLED TO SOUTH BEND Mrs. Ardis Larson was called to the bedside of her mother.
