RC Issues Call For Volunteers

the national blood program of the Red Cross which hopes to provide sufficient blood and its derivatives for hospitals throughout the nation.
“Signups of students will take place in front of Bovard auditorium Oct. 16. 17, 20. and 21. between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.,” Lane said. “All donors must be at least 18 years of age, and those under 21 must fill cut a release to be signed by their parents. This release must be taken by the donor to the blood center.”
Today at a Glance
“Each student in the senior design class made the plans and design of a home and then constructed models of the design. The size of each model is about 30 by 40 inches,” said Dean Galiion.
One model has a glass roof to show the interior arrangement of the dwelling and some have miniature furnishings. With their models, students will display their plans and some drawings of interior views.
CALIFORNIA STYLE
“These models,” said Dean Galiion. “are examples of contemporary architecture reflecting the popular California style which is spreading to various parts of the nation and influencing architecture to a considerable degree.”
The student display will continue throughout October as part of the Downtown Home Expositions in downtown stores which is sponsored by the Downtown Business Men’s association.
Students in the senior design class are Alfred A. Booke, Walter L Bogart, Fred M. Briggs, Richard Clatworthy. Rolland E. Cooper, Robert J. Gaudi, Gilbert A. Griffin, Laivey P. Harris, Anna Jeu. Minor Meek. Erwin J. Necheles, William Pickering. Arnold Schrier. Arthur M. Shatz. Weldon Shaw. Gene E. Verge. Russel J. Wood, and Charles T. Wormhoudt. •

“We take the trainees as they come in. no matter what their business is. and only give priority to

SMALL RELIEF
Prokop said that the only relief in the work of the office since the personnel cut was that rehab veterans no longer have to make personal monthly reports to his office.
All trainees with over a 50-per-cent disability still must report for a monthly conference.
