NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, INC. A Service of RCA RCA Bu i Id in g Radio C i ty New York 20, N.Y. Published monthly by and for the employees of NBC. SEPTEMBER HELP A FR I END - SAVE A LIFE The two deeds suggested by the title of this story are unquestioa ably praiseworthy. To lend a friend assistance or to save an individual's life are also deeds that will provide the doer with infinite satj isfaction. The only remaining item to question is the sacrifice neces ary for these ends, and what follows will suggest a way involving a m imum of effort. Here is how the whole thing works. The end of this month will ma the beginning of the semi-annual NBC blood drive. Half of the proceed from this drive go into the NBC blood bank for future use by NBC empl ees and their families. Those who have had to pay for blood needed fo transfusions know how much help this service can offer. Major operati often demand as many as twenty or more pints of blood, the cost of whi can approach $50 per pint. The remainder of the blood accumulated in the drive will go for uj by our servicemen. In Korea blood means "life", and upon the lives of our servicemen in Korea depends the freedom of America. Supplies of blood available to our armed forces are precariously low, and the NBC account has been seriously depleted by a flood of with drawals. Thus, the urgency of the coming drive is doubly apparent. Contrary to popular belief, there is no pain involved in the donation of blood, and yet a life may be saved. Remember all these things when October 31 comes around, and take this chance to help a friend or} save a life. Watch for further notices.
