Follow these simple pointers to get blood for your patient: * * * Secure a Red Cross Blood Request Form the Physician attending your patient. Present this request form to the National Blood Center in Manila, Bonifacio Drive, Port Area/to the Red Cross Chapter office, if in the province. -j * * * Bring one donor for every 250 cc. of blood requested. If you need 1,000 cc. bring 4 donors; if 2,000 cc. bring 8 donors, etc. * * * Donors do not have to be of the same blood type as the patient * * * If Red Cross does not have the type of blood you' need, leave the Request slip and return the next day, and everyday if necessary until you get the blood. * * * If after you shall have been served, and you find that you need more, ask your physician for another request slip for an additional amount then go back to the Red Cross every day until you get the amount needed. * * * Bring the blood immediately to the hospital for proper refrigeration. Handle it with care, otherwise it will spoil. ■ ' * * * If you were able to get blood from the Red Cross on loan basis, bring donors right away to replace it, others need th^j blood you borrowed. * * * If blood is not used within 48 hours, return it immdieately to the Red Cross Blood Center, otherwise it will be considered used.

Parpan, S.J. * FOR February you are invited to join the general intention of the Apostleship of Prayer which is “that the fundamental rights of man be acknowledged, respected, and rightly be defended by all.” As a creature, “gifted with intelligence, possessing a free will, which makes him master of his actions but responsible to God; immortal, made in the likeness of God, redeemed by the Blood of Chirst, son and friend of Cod, heir to eternal happiness —with all these blessings, man possesses rights proper to his nature, rights inviolable and inalienable. As Pope John defined them: -the right to life, to bodily integrity, and to the means that are necessary and suitable for the proper development of life; these are primarily food, clothing, shelter, rest, medical care, and finally the necessary social services. A human being also has the right to security in case of sickness, inability to work, widowhood, old age, unemployment, or in any other case in which he is deprived of the means of subsistence through no fault of his own. “Modern man too often becomes little more than a cog in a machine. With all our grand technical and material progress, spiritual values are often easily violated. Totalitarian regimes often restrict and violate human rights. Millions of people today do not even have the humble necessities of life, while fabulous wealth is in the hands of a very few.” The February intention bids us take sobering stock of the situation. What indeed of our workmen, our housemaids and houseboys? What of the unfortunates in the community? The aged and the abandoned in the Welfare Home? The inmates in the city a rd prjvincial jails? Too bad Christmas comes but once a year. * “WITH respect to the fundamental rights of a person,” says the Second Vatican Council, “every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language, or religion; is to be attacked and eradicated as contrary to God’s intent.” We have always been aware that we are not as Christian a nation as we pride to be. (Continued on page 6) monKey business PETE L AMPOLOQUIO Now I bow why a certain conspiracy mentioned in the Bicol Star failed. The “Master Mind”, a ceriain Mr. Diez, did not follow the master plan. He was tdo busy partially reviewing many things. • e People who witness sessions of the Camarines Sur Provincial Board tell stories about their "dislike'* for the pasale of an allegedly overacting Board Member. , They speak of him as a grandstand player. I won’t be surprised if this man announces his availability for the 1969 congressional nominations. But easy lang Pare, you are getting the opposite result^ of the thing yon may have in mind. © ® Secretary Veriong Veluz must be a very disgusted man these days. The Board Member he helped during the campaign "roasted” him during the last Board Meeting on the alleged leakage of Reso - lution No. 11. For old time’s sake, the man should have assigned to somebody else the job of roasting his former Campaign Manager. Even in public life there is such a thing as gratitude. O © There should be a point of meeting of the minds between the Board and the Governor for the sake of the public good. They are all Nationaiistas There won t be any exueuse for their failure^ Ambitions should give way to the over-all business of serving the people. © © Members of the Camarines Sur Provincial Board need not be afraid about these gasoline allowances that had been talked about so much. The people understand that they need it to be able to move around. The thing that is wrong in the matter concerns “justifications” being made that they need the allowance to travel from their homes to the capitol which is made to appear from other towns when all the time the people know they live in Naga. • • I admire Governor Cledera’s attitude of having all his acts in public office and that of other officials “subject” to the people’s investigations. I take it to mean that he has nothing to hide or that he will not hide anything from the people. That should be the right attitude. No public official should do anything in private which he would be ashamed of or afraid to be found out later by the people. • 9 Liberal officials during the campaign’did not'really mean that they did not need Malacanang aid after all. They are now interested in getting Malacanang aid to finish the City Hall Building. Who cares about politics? That’s for the birds. © © Nacionalistas in the City Board should not “table” the request for Malacanang help to get our City Hall ^Building finished. They are supposed to work for the people now. NPs and LPs should serve the people first. Party loyalty should be subordinated to the people’s welfare. • © Dr. Antonio Sibulo told me that he is available for the,, forthcoming 1969 congressional fight. In any fights between Congressman Felipe and Dr. Sibulo, I think Hizzoner, the Mayor, will leave the great “parasakdo.” Blood is thicker than water. That won’t be surprising at all. Add to that is the story that Munding Concha (the lady’s man) is also gunning for the 1st district congressional seat. • ipinapalit o inihahandog ay hindi kailangang maging katipo ng dugo ng inyong maysakit. * * * Kapag ang Krus na Pula ay walang dugong kauri ng sa inyong maysakit, iwan ang inyong kalinigan sa tanggapan ng Krus na Pula at balikan sa susunod na araw o Jkayay’y araw-araw na balikan hanggang sa makuha ninyo ang kailangang dugo. * * * Kung kayo man ay nabinyan na at nangangailangan pa rin kayo, humingi uli kayo ng kahilingan sa inyohg manggagamot para sa karagdagang dugo. Dalhin ang kahilingan sa tangapan ng Krus na Pula hanggang sa makamtan ang dugong inyong kailangan. * * * Dalhin kaagad sa ospital ang dugo para mapalamigan nang wasto. Pag-ingatan mataman upang hindi masira. * * * Kapag ang dugong inyong nakuha sa Krus na Pula ay hiram lamang, isama kaagad ang maghahandog ng dugo sa tanggapan ng Krus na Pula para mapalitan ang inyong nakuhang dugo, kailangan din ng iba ang nahiram ninyong dugo. * * * Kung ang dugo’y hindi nagamit sa loob ng 48 oras, isauli kaagad sa Bangko ng Krus na Pula, para ^.huwag akalaing iyon ay nagamit. SA LAM AT PO . . . . Ang National Blood Center Ng Krus Na Pula SenatorKennedy hails PHILCAG project U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy during a visit at the Philcag base camp in Tay Ninh to observe civic action activities said that the programs he saw are tremendously important and that the Filipinos should be very proud of them. The United States senator was given a tour of the Thanh dien refugee resettlement project and other construction projects of Philcag. He witnessed civic action teams in operation with their medical and dental surgeons actually treating a lot of hamlet folks. WHY THE HANDLING FEES To maintain the Blood Program, the Red Cross needs both money and blood. It requires all the help it could get in this connection. That is why it requests a donation of P10 for every bottle of blood that is withdrawn for a patient ' iif the PAYWARD. Patients in the free ward of hospitals are not charged with this fee. This amount is, not payment for the blood; it helps pay for the blood bottle and the donor’ sets and the cost ,.of processing the blood. Along with this donation, the Red Cross will still request the replacement of the blood withdrawn for the patient. Instead of a cash donation, a replacement of two donors for each bottle of blood withdrawn may be accepted. Unless blood is returned within 48 hours after its withdrawal from the blood.bank and the is still in good condition, the cash donation will not be refunded All these are designed to insure a ready stock of blood to enable us to serve anyone in at any time. a Thank you very much for) your support and cooperation. uu THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL RED CROSS By Dr. MAGNO V.

We shall cauterize the wounds of our people until they bleed freshly if only by this process we can help to heal them. On the other hand, we shall passionately tel1 and retell their heritage of greatness, awaken them to their tremendous potential, and encourage them to realize this potential, through hard work and more work. It is our hope that through continuing confrontation, our people can be weaned away completely from a growing and engulfing mentality of mendicancy and be led Io rediscover the beautiful and respectable virtues of self-reliance, industry, and frugality. In order to give teeth to this program of continuing confrontation, the Federation of Provincial Presss Clubs of the Pnilippines has formulated its “Return to the Barrio Movement.” The RBM We hold that prosperous rural communities are the best guarantees to the preservation and protection of freedom of the press in the countrysides, expansion of the newspaper publication and radio operation enterprises, and securing for the newspaperman and radio commentator in the provinces self-respect, integrity and a decent standard of living. The “Return to the Barrio Movement”, therefore, will endeavor to contribute all its efforts to the realization of the following: First, prosperity in the rural communities, Second, checking of the exodus of barrio manpower. and, Third, attracting rural manpower now under stress in urban communities to return to the barrio. The RBM is big and ambitious. It requires tremendous informed, knowledgeable, and effective activities in organization and communication. We say here and now that we make no claims we can go it alone. On the other hand we trust that the merit and desirability of the movement will attract unqualified support from so inclined and like-minded organizations or associations, like the Rotary, Jaycees, Lions, and Chambers o f Commerce and Industry. We know the magnitude of RBM, and we feel humble before it. But our determination proceed with it and our dedication to the work it demands are as big and decided. It is this spirit and will, that give us courage and strength. Aggiornamto , . . (Continued from page 2) It is salutary, we hope, to be reminded about it in print. “I am a Negirian student enrolled in one of the colleges here. Since my arrival in this Christian country I have been observing the unchristian behavior or discriminatory acts of some bus conductresses. . .” thus did a foreign student write to a metropolitan daily not so long ago. She gave the go-signal just when he was about to board the bus. And when he fell, some of the students at the bus stop laughed at him. Invited to give a talk on Nigeria at PNC, he wa3 greeted by shouts of "Negro, black is black’’ on the campus. His national costume was derided as a pair of "pajamas” when he was requested to wear it for a drama. He writes too of a Liberian student who flagged down a taxi only to be refused afthe last moment. This is not the first time foreign students have complained about such acts. There was the case-remember-of an African who was beaten up (nakursunadahan daiv) by hoodlums and then when brought to the hospital received, instead of sympathy, some nasty remarks from a Pinay nurse. Some of these unhappy instances we may perhaps attribute to that peculiar Filipino propensity to poke fun at and find humor in what he considers another person’s oddities. In due time perhaps our foreign students may come to understand this childish trait (grown-ups are expected to be more discreet) and even give tit for tat. I refer to the laughter of the students at the bus stop and the shouts in the campus. The other instances are downright inexplicable. Uncharitable! * THERE are many evils which face the Philippines, but perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that politics is the root evil. The socio-economic situation, law and order, education, business are all insoluble problems because the government seeks not the common good but particular good, and because the citizens elect that kind of government.” Many, if not all of us, will agree with the truths of this observation. For me the most pathetic and tragic is the truth of the last line, Citizens have the government they deserve. The tools for organization and communication are at our command. Some of them cost money, most of them are free. We trust that s o c i a 1 conscience among the well-endowed among our people, for whom prosperity in the barrio is a guarantee for peace and freedom, will not hesitate to extend to us their affluent arms to assist in the realization of our goals. All these are the ends to which the Federation of Provincial Press Clubs of the Philippines will address its efforts. It bears no partiality for any person, party, institution or creed. It only s e e k s to help bridge the gap that until now divide the Filipino nation from a greatness that it is being called upon to realize once more. We invite all of you t o pitch in, to join us in our cry: “One Heart, One Provincial Philippines.”
