Requests
Blood

By ROSS HETRICK

The Office of Volunteer
Community Services at
Madison Hall has requested
students to donate blood for a
12-year old hemophiliac.

Harold James Jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. Harold James of
Catonsville, Md., must
travel to a Bethesda hospital
three times a week for $74.50
treatments to stay alive.
Harold's three-hour trip to
Bethesda costs his family of
nine $90 a month.

His father, a truck driver, is
unable to pay for his son's
$12,000-a-year treatments, and
owes $5,000 worth of blood to
the hospital.

Students wishing to donate
blood are asked to go to the
Barringer wing of the
University Hospital and specify
that the blood is to be sent to
Harold James Jr., Suburban
Hospital, Old Georgetown Rd.,
Bethesda, Maryland.
