Ex- - traordinary appeals at this time are as inevitable : and predictable as the tides. How can such a thing happen, especially since it . isso predictable? On the average blood collected at - clinics is used at such a rate that the bank just : barely keeps ahead of the demand. The clinic - teams are in operation somewhere in B.C. every - working day. This year, Christmas and New Year’s : Day fell on days that stretched the holiday period, . unlike last year when there was a working day : between the Christmas holiday and the weekend. Four days in succession with no blood donor . Clinic spells trouble. Add to this the fact that many - regular donors were away for the holiday or had ; colds. Add to that increased road traffic with its : potential for more accidents which placed a further * demand on the blood bank. The Red Cross‘ Blood Transfusion Service at- -. tempts.to cope with this annual crisis by scheduling - larger“clinics. just before the holiday season, but : two successive short work weeks took their toll on : the Blood Bank: Everyone and everything seems to - ‘be taking a holiday or slowing down: . ; but the need for blood. . everything It will tke Some good clinics to bring the supply of - blood back from crisis or danger level and some ».time to bring the bank back to “solvency”. ' Sidney’s Kinsmen Club has accepted the : challenge of being the: driving force to initiate . 1976’s Blood Donor clinics for Vancouver Island. In : doing so, they have accepted for Sidney an honour ~ and a responsibility. . ; akne ror a ae _« 5, 1976 in Rest Haven Héspital, M. William James Bosher, - rears .

It could have been interesting reading if more of your detail had been accurate. For your information, in 1939 there was no airport closer to Mary’s than Pat Bay, so how could a gentleman named Hugo Cruikshank measure off 40 paces from the main gate .of the aerodrome and clear a site? Hugo Cruikshank was never ~connected with the building of Mary’s at anytime, and did not appear near the place for several years after its in- ception. The pictures you show were all taken by my wife a short time after opening Mary’s in February 1941. The building was put up by Townsend ‘and Bissington in. the fall of 1940 on. 5 acres which we owned, .and no airport was in sight. until possibly the summer, of 1940. My wife and I built Mary’s and our own daughter Mary is the Mary of Mary’s Coffee Bar. All the pictures showing Mary were taken by her mother during 1941. , Cruikshank was not the second owner, who was a Ralph Strange from Van- couver. Then I subdivided it in 2 parcels of % acres and 4% acres, and Strange got Mary’s “| and % an acre. RITCHIE On Dec. 31, 1975, David Broom Ritchie of 4th Street, Sidney, B.C. on his 89th year.

PREDICTION: MAYOR PETER MALCOLM WILL LOSE THE 20 POUNDS HE's to pay for their predecessors mistakes! What really got to me though was the utter arrogance of the education minister (what’s he doing handling car insurance anyway?) telling us, if we can’t afford the new rates to sell our cars. Glib words from someone who is probably supplied with a government insured car at the taxpayers expense. People get mad at me when I tell them I never vote. They say it’s my duty, and the only way to oust a party I don’t like. Well it isn’t my- duty, its my choice, and as I don’t like any of ’em I choose not to vote. : I can’t see the sense of voting out one bunch of in- competants just so another bunch can take over where they left off. : If any good comes out of this doubling of our insurance rates, it will be that someone who sells bicycles is going to make one hell of a lot of money, unless of course our newly elected tax gobblers decide to insure them also.° Is there anyone out there who will take my _ station wagon in trade for a second- hand horse? Reg Davis, 2300 Canoe Cove. Sidney.
