Appeal to Public
to Repay Blood
Dear Friends:
I had major surgery the 27th
of June and had to borrow four
pints of blood from the blood
bank at Lawton I came very
close to not getting it because
there have been a few from
Cyril and vicinity that have
borrowed and not paid it back
therefor giving the Cyril clinic
a bad name
I would appreciate any blood
donor of any blood type to do-
nate their blood in my name
not for me as I have mine
but for the people in the future
who may need it It might
be 'you or a member of your
family
The blood bank at Lawton is
a wonderful place for those
who are in need of it Let's
not make it so we can't bor-
row when we need it
Mrs Bridges will need blood
on the 9th of August IIer's
is a rare type and I would hate
to see her refused On my ac-
count So friends I ask again
if you feel as though you can
spare a pint of blood please
call 126-R or 79 Fletcher and
Earl or Bob will be happy to
take you to Lawton
Thank you

Widows Should
Apply for Social
Security at 62
"Widows should apply for
social security benefits as soon
as they are 62" Travis C
Briggs Manager of the Law-
ton Oklahoma Social Security
Office advised today "It
would be even better if they
applied a month or two before
they are 62 Of course no one
should delay but widows in
particular should be careful to
apply for benefits promptly"
A woman's benefit based on
her own account or on the ac-
count of a living husband is
reduced if she applies before
age 65 but a widow's benefit
is different Widow's benefits
where entitlement to benefits
is based on the record of a de-
ceased husband are not re-
duced and the full amount is
paid at age 62
"So if you are a widow"
Briggs explained "and we once
paid you a lump-sum or mon-
thly benefits you should apply
again when you are 62 In
fact you can speed your first
check by applying a month or
so before"
The Lawton office located
at 13051i Gore Boulevard is
open from 8:30 am to 4:30
