THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2000 Blood Clinic is in Acton on Feb. 10 If you're healthy, between the ages of 17 and 70 years of age, Canadian Blood Services is urging you to attend the Acton Blood Clinic on Thurs- day, F 10 at the Acton Legion hall from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Legion is lo- cated at 15 Wright Ave., Acton. A single blood donation can save as many as four lives. Each unit of blood is broken down into red cells, platelets, plasma and cryopre- cipitate. Each of these com- ponents could go to a differ- ent recipient - an accident or burn victim, a cancer or organ transplant patient or to a per- son undergoing surgery. The Toronto Blood Centre needs to collect at least 650 units of blood per day in or- der to meet the needs of pa- tients in 59 Central Ontario hospitals. Although only three per cent of the popula- tion donates blood, almost everyone will use, or know of someone who will use blood, or blood components in their lifetime Figures questioned Questions have been raised concerning The New. Tanner's figures for attend- ance at last week's Unity Service. Organizers feel the figure should be around 500, adults in the congregation. ) TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS: Acton Junior Achievement (JA) members Sarah Kobsa (left) and Katherine Hopkins take a look at the bottom line of their JA company, Premiere Platinum Baskits, with Acton businessman and JA adviser John Malinosky at a recent JA meeting at the high school. -- Frances Niblock photo Junior Achievement turns profit By FRANCES NIBLOCK The New Tanner Commerce doesn't stop for exams, so last Wednesday night a small group of Acton students took time from studying for a little business.

The 23 students involved with Premiere Platinum Baskits raised capital by sell- ing stock (it was up 25-cents Christmas), prepared a busi- ness plan and financial state- ments, produced a product and marketing and sales plans. Dawkins said the stu- dents are learning business common sense, life skills and one key element of being in business. "That's is that nothing happens unless you make it happen. If you leave an op- portunity to things to go wrong, they will, and unless things are extremely clear, they are chaotic," Dawkins said: SF pal The Wellness Centre CHIROPRACTIC: Dr. Tom Thompson D.C.
