Telephone Pioneers Launch Green Stamp Campaign For A Bloodmobile Telephone employees throughout Massachusetts are collecting 14, 000 Green Stamp books for an item that cannot be found in any stamp catalogue- - a bloodmobile for the Massachusetts Red Cross. As the world's largest voluntary association of industrial employ - ees, the Pioneers of America is composed of both active and re- tired employees who have 21 or more years of service with the telephone industry. With emphasis on community service, the organization has ta- ken on many programs in local communities with the disadvan - iaged. Last year they donated more than one million hours of volunteer effort. The William J. Denver Chapter of Pioneers came up with the blood- mobile idea after learning there is only one mobile blood donor center in the country. With the need for blood so urgent In this state it was agreed that the Pion- eers would do what they could to obtain a similar donor center for the Massachusetts Red Cross. Pioneer representatives will turn in stamp books at local stamp re- demption centers where they will be given checks made payable to the Red Cross In return S&H has given its full cooperation in help- ing to raise funds toward the Pi- oneers non-profit community ser- vice. Cost of the mobile donor center is $28,000. Pioneers hope that most of the 29,000 telephone employees in Massachusetts will help them reach this goal by contributing Green Stamps. The Pioneers have launched a huge company publicity campaign and have placed S&H "wishing wells" and receptacles in com - pany buildings throughout the state. In addition , S&H receptac- les will be placed in all local busi- ness offices for public Green Stamps donations. The "bloodmobile- on- wheels," or mobile donor center , as it is called, is a completely self-con- tained unit that can accommo - date 30 donors in a four-hour peri- od. It is beneficial to industry, small business, towns, and vill- ages which are not able to supply donor locations. More than 250,000 pints of blood are needed annually hi Massachu- setts yet only two or three per- cent of those who can give actual- ly do. Pioneers hope that those unable to give blood in the past will take the opportunity to give Green Stamps and help obtain a mobile donor center for the Red Cross. It Is hoped the 14,000 book goal will be reached by next Oct. 28- - the 60th anniversary of the Tele- phon e Pioneers of America. "Telephone Pioneers invites the public to join them in this mean- ingful program," said Edward G. Cross, the telephone company's commercial staff supervisor at Hy- annis, who Is New England publi- city chairman for the Pioneers' bloodmobile Green Stamp cam - paign. He is a past president of the Pioneers Southeastern Massa- chusetts Council. About one- tenth of all the Ear- th's land surface- -an area about the size of South America - - is permanently covered with ice.
