May 4 Is Day To Give Blood,
Excuses Don't Hold Weight
On Wednesday, May 4 from 12 noon until 6 p.m. the
Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at The Jewish Center,
1125 College Ave.
The'Jewish Community Blood Donor council urges
residents to make an appointment today to give the gift
of life. Better yet; make.two appointments, one for
yourself and one for a friend. And be prepared with the
answers to these excuses your friend may give:
• I'm saving it for emergencies. (The need for blood is
constant.)
• My insurance company covers the blood I need.
(Insurance can pay the medical costs of services to.
blood but dollar bills can't be transfused. Blood comes
from people for people.)
• I already gave this year. (You may safely give every
eight weeks.)
• Other people must be giving enough blood. (The need
is increasing at a consistent rate.)
• I'm too old. (When in good health, donors may be 17
to65 years old.)
• I'm too busy. (It only takes about an hour when /
appointments are made in advance. >
• The Red Cross makes too much money on my blood.
(Red Cross does not sell blood — there are charges to
the hospitals forepart of the expense of collecting,
processing and! distributing this blood.) \     ■
• It may not be the right type. (All types are needed
everyday.)
• I need all the blood I have. (The average adult has 10
to 12 pints of blood and medical science research shows
that the healthy person may safely give a unit of blood;
the body replaces the volume within a few hours.)
The list grows with time and your imagination.
Blood comes only from people. It can't be
manufactured. Your, gift could mean life for a sick
child, an accident victim, or an elderly person facing
surgery. -r ,.,... ...,.,
Dr.   Norman -Hosansky,   Blood   Donor  council.
president, urges community members to forget the
excuses and give life with blood on May 4. Ap-
. pointments can be made by calling Dr. Hosansky at

House Easily Passes Anti-Boycott Measure
(Copyright, 1977, JTA, Inc.)
By Joseph Palakoff
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
With the House of
Representatives having
overwhelmingly approved
without change its In¬
ternational. Relations
Committee's bill to counter
the Arab boycott of Israel
and Americans who do
business with Israel, foes of
the measure were expected
April 21 to,center their
strength in the Senate to
ease restrictions prohibiting
Americans from complying
with the boycott.
The Senate "was expected
to take up its Banking-
Committee's version
sometime this week. Since
the Senate . legislation is
certain tos differ ""from the
House measure, the issues
will be ultimately fought in
the Senate-House measure,
the issues will be ultimately
fought in the Senate-House
conference where,
agreement must be attained
before the Congress can vote
on identical legislation.
Anti-boycott proponents
generally see the House
measure as stronger than
the Senate version since its
restrictions are regarded as
making it more difficult for
Arab countries to maneuver
American companies into
discriminating against other
Americans or circumventing
the intent of the law. The
Senate and House versions
differ mainly on the
unilateral selection clause
and means of complying
with local laws by a com¬
pany operating within an
Arab country.
With the acquiesence of
the Carter Administration,
the support pf organized
labor and the leadership of
both Republican and
Democratic   'parties,    a
bipartisan wave of support
buried the opposition to the
legislation in the House by a
better than 8-1 margin. The
vote was 364-43 with 26 not
voting. Some negative votes
came from those who op¬
posed other sections of the
Export Administration Act
of which' the new anti-
boycott legislation is a part.
