"We are not stating that this increase was entirely due to the Blood Relative program, because many local concerns have been most generous in giving us publicity, but it almost seems that L Magnin's and Breuner's started the local business houses thinking about how to help the Blood Donor Service. Weekly average for Oakland Chapter including mobile visits: June. . . . 1,187.6 pints of blood. July 1,228.2 pints of blood. August. . 1,319.5 pints of blood.
