Some 9,500 people were in South Amboy, N. J.,<br />

that drizzly evening in 1950. At the watcr-<br />

IrDtit, longsluiremeii were translVrrinf; the<br />

last (if 12 freif^ht cars of ammunitiun to lighters<br />

llukt wcmlJ carry it to a waiting vessel in<br />

Karitati Day.<br />

But the City Hall clock never got to 7:27<br />

and the freighter's deadly cargo never got<br />

loaded. Explosions shattered windows over a<br />

radius of 12 miles; and hundreds of people<br />

looked at their arms and legs and saw that<br />

Hying daggers of glass had slabbed lliem.<br />

At dawn, 312 of the injured had been counted.<br />

Such disasters have happened many times before<br />

in .\nicrica. They could happen again.<br />

And if they do—and tvhen they do—there<br />

must be blood plasma on hand to take care<br />

of the injured. For blood saves lives!<br />

But blood cannot be mined or manufactured.<br />

It must come from the veins of heallhy men<br />

and women. Men and women who feel i-oncern<br />

for a snfl'cring neighbor, ^o give blood—now!<br />

Whether your blood goes for ('ivil Defense<br />

needs, to a combat area, or to a local hospital<br />

— this priceless, painless gift will some day<br />

save an American life!<br />
