I I I I LAWRENCE DIARY I 5' ' I YOUR BLOd,D IN THE WAR I It is a cold, rainy night, extremely dark except for the intermittent flashes of the distant artillery, ahe d and behind you. The artillery behind means your hope of blasting ahe d to victory, the artillery ahead, the enemy and death. Shells burst around youg you cr wl through the mud of the battlefield. It is raining, but you still crawl, 1 oking for the enemy. In your hand is your best friend, your rifle. Sudde ly, you're hit! It feels as though some- one had kicked you in the shoulderg you feel sick to your stomach, then everything goes completely black-you notice nothing. . Several hours later, you regain Iconsciousness. You feel a -sharp pain piercing your body. Suddenly, youi hear voices: you hardly dare to moveg you wonder whether they are friendly voices or those of the enemy. They're Americans-your friends!I Yes, your friends! What those two words mean to you! You make a oise, hoping they will hear you! They come over to the place where you a e lying and quickly dress your woundg in your arm they stick a pin to which is attached a rubber tube. .Your eyes follow the rubber tube until you sed a glass jar containing life itself-blood plasma. Lying on your cot at the bI1se hospital, you think of the folks back home-the folks who saved your li Ie by giving their blood. Wouldn't you like to feel that y u, too, had saved the life of a fighting man? How simple it is-just go t a local Blood Bank and give a pint of your blood today. ' ' Y O. ELLIS, 12K.
