Lawrence, a newcomer to the ranks of top-flight bands, has had ten years of musical experience. At the age of 11, he organized his first band and played over radio stations.

His band was much in demand for college proms, and after graduation he was chosen for the position of musical director of WCAU in Philadelphia.

The band was voted the third most promising band of the year by the eighth an- nual College Music Poll. Lawrence does much of his own arranging, and the band often plays his orig- inal compositions. Lawrence is noted for the sim- plicity of his arrangements, which combine popular styling with a sym- phonic overtone. "He plays much on the sweet, smooth side, even late in the evening," according to the Billboard article.

But now that we are in our first postwar year, few people realize what has happened to the units that were so influential in saving many lives. Blood Banks still exist. Now, how- ever, the units are set up only in the hospitals for the use of their patients exclusively. A large Blood Bank is in operation at University Hospital. The blood at University Hos- pital is contributed first of all by friends or relatives of the patients in need of the transfusions, whe- ther or not their blood type is com- patible with that of the particular patient. Their contributions are divided into four. types: type AB, A, B, and 0, which are kept in special containers and placed in a large refrigerator regulated at 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Through the use of a special process the blood may be stored for twenty- one days. Often, however, in the case of an emergency, the blood on hand does not correspond to the subtype of the patient needing it. Emergency operations must be delayed until the proper variety is acquired. It is then imperative that the Hospital depend upon the services of pro- fessional blood donors. The Hospital accepts as profes- sional donors any men over twen- ty-one, who have undergone the proper examinations, and as a result are found to have a rare form of blood subtype that can seldom be obtained from the friends or relatives of the patients. These donors are then placed on the Hospital records. When a certahi type and subtype of blood is required, the donor whose blood corresponds is called, and must come to the Hos- pital within a half-hour. He is com- pensated for his services at the price of $17.50 per quart, but each donor is not asked to contribute more than once every, two months. Any man who is interested in becoming a professional donor may register for examinations of his blood and general physical con- dition from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day and from 8 p.m. to noon on Saturdays at the Blood Bank at University Hospital. In speaking of the work done by the Blood Bank, Mrs. Norma Sagula, R.N., supervisor of the Blood Bank, says, "More than 500 quarts of blood are required in the Hospital every month. In order to keep transfus- ing this much blood, the services of professional donors are greatly need- ed."
