(The Citizen received its information from an official gov- ernment source.) “The hospital had four pints of blood on hand for Mrs. Betan- court,” said Albury. “This was suf- ficient to last her several weeks. It if had been an emergency case, we would have had a technician on hand to accept the blood.” The hospital superintendent went on to explain how all key emplo- yees of the institution are on call 24-hours a day. If necessary a po- a or is ene to insure jt no delay occurs in answering calls for help. “After the radio appeal,I in- by the ‘Trust blood ot!

Griffin, Georgia fisherman, was found guilty today of commer- cial fishing without a non-resident fishing license by a jury in Crimin- al court.

A second charge against him was) illegal possession of undersized cawfish. For this he was sentenc- ed to pay costs. Representing the fisherman was William V. Albury, who defended his client vigorously against the equally vigorous prosecution of County Solicitor Allan B. Cleare, ir.

She ex- plained that the blood was not needed on an emergency basis.” Numerous calls have revealed that the entire town is interested in the case. The writer explained to Albury that most people are not trying to attack the hospital as an institution but want to help it.
