WPCNR ACROSS THE EDITOR’S DESK. By John F. Bailey April 10 3 P.M. EDT 2025: If you were an immigrant from Third Class Steerage to the United States in 1912, or a millionaire and millionairess of the Titanic gentry strolling the wide decks of the most famous luxury liner of all time taking in the salt air you had a freshening breeze in your faces, a calm sea basking being rudely parted as Titanic steamed towards New York.

The eternal waves in a quiet chop in brilliant sunshine at 11:30 AM, April 11, 1912, 109 years ago, when Father Brown took this photo in 1912 on the deck on the voyage from Southhampton to Queensland Ireland. Looking out on a sun-splashed sea at the disappearing emerald isle of Ireland, you had no idea this would be the last land you would ever see.

The Titanic, 882 feet long, 92 feet wide was the largest ship ever built by the White Star line. It is dwarfed by the cruise ships of today. But everyone who sails the ocean has heard of the Titanic and she is in their thoughts today. The Titanic, no question is one of the most remembered disasters of the Twentieth Century because of its claims: Unsinkable! Fastest ship on the sea! But it is now remembered for its horror, hubris, heroism, cowardice and sacrifice, grippingly, horrifyingly portrayed in books, cinema and exploration.

The Titanic in the night photographed 110 years ago by the man who disembarked at Cherbourg, Father Brown.

Tonight 110 years ago: The Titanic had picked up passengers in Cherbourg, France and with all its decks aglow in this picture taken by Father Brown who disembarked at Queensland gives you an image of what she looked like as she made her way across the Atlantic and on when she sank on April 14 this coming Wednesday at 2 A.M. in the morning, carrying with her to the bottom, 1,500 souls rich to poor. 715 passengers and crew were rescued.

The Titanic off Queensland Ireland. April 11, 1912 into destiny. The photograph was taken by Father Brown after he disembarked from the Titanic and was riding on a tender into Queensland Harbor. It is the last picture ever taken of the great ship as she steamed into eternity.

APRIL 10—MARINA REGINA STUDENTS DONATE 92 PINTS OF BLOOD.

Maria Regina High School Again Answers the Call to Help Address Shortage of Life-Saving Blood in Spring Community Blood Drive

HARTSDALE, NEW YORK (APRIL 10, 2025) Thanks to Maria Regina High School’s recent successful spring community blood drive, the lives of 92 patients at area hospitals may be saved.

The recent drive, held in Maria Regina’s gymnasium, continues an annual tradition of the renowned all-girls Catholic high school of helping to address the shortage of life-saving blood in the region. It was hosted by the school’s National Honor Society Chapter (NHS) to support the mission of the New York Blood Center (NYBC).

Maria Regina’s students, members of administration, faculty and staff as well as supporters from the community once again answered the call. Camilo Rubio, NYBC Account Manager, told the school in an email that 32 pints of blood were collected, each of which can save 3 lives. “Thank you for your time and support towards another life-saving campaign,” he wrote, adding: “Please extend our gratitude to all who donated, attempted to donate, or assisted in our efforts to ensure the campaign was a success.”.

Karen Lizzo, NHS moderator, lauded the “selfless act of donating blood that can significantly impact many lives,” noting it is an “act of compassion and service to others that embodies the mission of Maria Regina High School and its motto of Caritas.”

The NYBC says that the donated blood is typically needed to help treat cancer patients, accident, burn, and trauma victims, newborn babies, mothers delivering babies, transplant patients, surgery patients and others in need.

In addition, much of today’s sophisticated medical care such as transplants and heart surgeries rely on blood transfusions. In addition, car accident and trauma victims may need as many as 50 or more red cell transfusions and severe burn victims may need as many as 20 platelet transfusions.

”Donating blood is easy and our blood supply relies exclusively on the generosity of volunteer blood donors,’’ explains the NYBC on its website.: “Most people qualify as a volunteer donor.” To make a blood donation and learn more about the NYBC, one of the largest independent, community-based blood centers in the world, visit www.nybc.org.
