okt es tapes WAST 8 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN: Wednesday, November 17, 1954 Eine rgency Need Sunday Night The “Walking Blood Bank” once again proved its worth to the community on Sunday night when g hospital patient, suffering from an internal hemorrhage, needed six pints of blood—in a “Within 45 minutes. donors had been located through the file set up during the.recent blood typing program and were at the jital. * ean Monday, two calls, each for two pints, were handled with In the short time since it was organized, the “Walking: Blood Bank” has been called on in several emergencies. Persons, who are willing to serve as volunteer blood donors are requested to go to the Monroe County Health Clinic for typing.. All that is necessary is to tell the desk clerk you wish to have your blood typed for the Walking Blood Bank. : More donors are needed, especially for 0 negative, B negative and B positive. ‘ The Blood Bank committee urges persons knowing their blood type to register with the blood bank, particularly those with the Se: SS StS, HALE Police Dept. Commended For School Safety Patrol Effort . By BILL GIBB The Key West Safety Council commended Officer Armando Pe- rez atid his brother officers of the Police department last night for the active interest they are showing in seeking to aid school safety pa- trols. The Council also- passed a motion lending its support to the present drive being conducted by the police — a'drive aimed at se- curing Safety Patrol raincoats for children. It was pointed out that under pre- sent conditions, the very time when the Safety Patrol is needed most — during rainy days is the very rarer types of blood. The “Walking Blood Bank” is a member agency o fthe Key West Community Chest. It Had Better Protect Planes MOSCOW, #—The United States warned Russia today it will be forced to act to protect its planes on legitimate missions unless the ‘Russians take steps to prevent fur- ther aerial incidents between the two nations. 4 A note delivered by the U.S. Embassy to the Soviet Foreign Ministry asked the Soviet Union to clamp down on such cases as the destruction of a U. S. RB29 photo-mapping bomber by Soviet Jet fighters Nov. 7. Referring to that incident, which Moscow has blamed on the Amer- icans, the note said: “Such actions are in flagrant contradiction 'to re- cent statements by high Soviet of- figials that the Soviet Union seeks to abate international tension.” The Soviet government charged at the time that the American plane had violated island territory of the Rsusians off the northeast tip of Japan and fired first when Soviet fighters encountered it. American spokesmen said the plane was 15 miles out and had not fired at all. Ten crewmen par- achuted safely. The 11th became entangled in his parachute and drowned, The use of Sabrejet fighter es- corts, which proved more than a match for Russia’s MIGs in Korea, is one of the means which has been debated in Washington for the protection of reconnaissance and transport planes assigned to bo ge, anywhere near the “Red or- Did YOU Get a Christmas Club Check?

YOUR FRIENDLY COMMUNITY BANK _ time when it is unable to function. Jim Wilder In other business, the Council welcomed Jim Wilder, former high- way patrolman and safety educa- tor. Wilder has accepted employ- ment as a “Patrolman” with the Sheriff’s Department. It is expected that his assistance on the technical problems of safe- ty will spur the Council to bigger and better accomplishments — not just in Key ‘West but throughout Monroe County. “$-D" Day “SD” Day, as announced by President Eisenhower last night will take place Dec. 15. Otherwise known as ‘Safe Driv- ing- Day,” the 24-hour period will be ‘a time when every community in the nation strives to escape having a vehicular ‘accident. . It should provide an interesting’ ex- periment, Last year, Dec. 15, one person died and there were 54 injures in Florida over the 24-hour period. Many of those 54‘injured’ probably are still suffering untold agonies today. The Key West Safety Coun- cil hopes that all of Monroe Coun- ty will pitch in wholeheartedly and assist in making: “S.D” day suc- cessful. Once we prove that we can go a 24-hour period without an ac- cident, then there is évery. reason to hope that there will be many such days during the coming year.

Early Monday morning,a 10-foot ditch was bulldozed through Beach Road on Rest ch, allowing drainage of water in that area. Twenty-four hours later, when, part of the excess water had been eliminated so that Atlantic Blvd. was navigable, that street also was cut by a ditching machine.
