Robert Stroud, chairman for the blood clinic, said today that blood banks both in Osh- awa and Toronto are clean out of supplies. Toronto is the main centre of supply when Oshawa stocks run low. "We need no less than 400 packs," said Mr. Stroud. "We have just got. to get them."' He said that donors, aged between 18 and 65, of either sex and in good health, may donate blood at the clinic to be held at St. Gregory's Audi- torium, Simcoe st. n. Clinic hours run from 1.30 to 4.30 p.m. and from 6 to 9 p.m. Some operations scheduled | to be performed at the Osh- awa General Hospital have had to be temporarily post- poned because of the blood supply lack, said Mr. Stroud. "This hasn't meant that emer- gency operations have been postponed, but that some have been held over for a day until we rounded up enough packs of blood. "Our clinic is starting on its eighth year of operation, things are getting a little apathetic," said Mr. "Let's hope that our fight against this apathy pays off on Thursday."

F. and T, Developments earl- ier this year asked the city to rezone the land between Cedar st., and Ritson rd. from R2A to R-4 and C-1 to permit a multi-million dollar resident- ial and commercial developm- ment. Council agreed that the dev- elopers would have to pay the entire cost of a pumping stat- ion and then later adopted a planning board recommendat- tion that no change be made in the zoning. F, and T, Developments said they would like to meet with council to discuss the "perpet- ual maintenance" of the pump- ing station. The request was referred to the public works committee. One of the conditions approy- ed by council concerning the pumping station was that the developer must provide a fund to pay the cost of the opera- tion and maintenance of the sta« tion.
