Drive for Blood Sets New High

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Phillips Brooks House annual fall drive for blood reached a new peacetime record yesterday, as final donations totalled 1001 pints.

Stanley B. Lyss '58, director of the drive, considered the total especially gratifying since PBH obtained its pledges earlier this season, during the flu epidemic.

The drive exceeded the effort made last spring by 113 pints, and the previous peacetime record of 960 pints set in 1954. Lyss attributed part of the success to the fact that Law School donations were more than doubled.

Although canvassers obtained 1828 pledges, illness prevented many from donating blood.
