Heart to Heart

Russian blood donors, if they choose, may have their names and addresses pasted on the bottles. Blood receivers often send thanks. From Moscow last week came a typically Russian tale of one such exchange:

Post Office Worker Lydia Gardieva of Moscow sent a note with her blood: "Dear Soldier, I do not know you, but if my blood gives you life and strength to fight the enemy, I will be happy." After a while one Lieut. Colonel Vinogradov replied, with thanks. Then there was a silence so long that Lydia thought he must be dead.

Lydia gave some nore blood, got another note of thanks: "Your name, my sister, whose blood flows in my veins, was spoken with that love which one can only know when one is at the front." Again it was Lieut. Colonel Vinogradov; twice he had been saved by Lydia's blood.
