Fifty-One Marathon Residents Answer Call For Blood Donors Marathon — Fifty-one. Marathon residents responded June 9 to the call of Florida Keys Elks Lodge No. 1872 for donations of blood. It was Marathon’s first experience with a modified version of a blood- mobile, Although the ratio of vol-! unteers to the number of Mara- thon permanent residents, estimat- ed at about 2,000 was rather small, it was a sign of encouragement to the blood bank committee. It was the first community response to a request for contributions’ other than money. Promptly at 2 p. m. as announc- ed, the doors of the Marathon Chamber of Commerce Auditorium were thrown open by Elks Lodge 1872’s Exalted Ruler, Edward Kee- fer. Makeshift preparations had been improvised to handle the blogd donors. Four pingpong tab- les used by the Marathon Youth Center were converted into cots. ‘They were covered with blankets, bed linen and pillows borrowed from Sadowski’s Key Motel. The visiting crew from the Dade Coun- ty Blood Bank was ready for bus- iness. They include: Nurse Jean Mayo; Nurse-Technician Margaret “Oxzmer; Technician Irene Wilbur; Aide Dorothy Thorton and Recep- tionist Mary Simpson. With Dr. Donald MacDonald in attendance, every volunteer was given a medical examination. ‘There was a brief lull while Dr. MeDonald himself contributed his blood. And, in true Key style, the volunteers trickled in throughout the afternoon, clad in a variety of costumes. Male donors predorain- ated at the ratio of 4 to 1. Aside from the merchants and __profes- sional men, the majority were in thé construction or allied trades. They arrived, their bodies cover- ed with dust and grit, or spatter- ed with grease or paint. They were in a hurry to return to their esses or jobs, But each donor after making his contribution, took the required rest period, As an imimediatée aid to speedy recupera- tion, each donor was provided with a8 much orange juice as desired. The orange juice was donated by Ralph H, Hollers, Florida Keys DANGER TERMITES SWARMING THREE HOT"LS iN MIAMI Distributor for Land O* Sun Dairy Products.
