RED CROSS BADLY NEEDS BLOOD

The Red Cross is appealing for Type O and Type B blood.

Paul J. Regal, principal officer of Mid-Atlantic Regional Blood Services, said the blood center's supply is at 60 percent - critically low.

Requests for blood from hospitals and inconsistent donations have caused the shortfall, Regal said. Donors can call 446-7700. by CNB
