Hero

One Raymond Briez, 29, underwent last week his 101st transfusion by which he gave a quart of his blood to save the life of a fellowman.

Quixotic, M. Briez has given 101 quarts of blood during the past five years without accepting so much as a centime in payment. On one occasion he gave a quart of blood each to three separate patients within 24 hours. Recently he underwent 17 transfusions in 31 days.

At Paris last week, grateful Frenchmen drafted a petition that Human Benefactor Briez be admitted to the Legion of Honor.
