BLOODMOBILE The idea of sponsoring a blood transfusion service was first voiced in 1929 by the Birmingham, Alabama, Red Cross Chapter, and 9 years later this service was inaugurated on a local basis in 12 Red Cross chapters. Because of these and other blood-collecting activi ties, the military asked the Red Cross to organize an Army-Navy Blood Donor Service in 1941. After collecting more than a total of 13,300,000 pints of blood for the arm ed forces during World War II, the Red Cross chapters continued to recruit do nors in an attempt to meet local blood needs. The peacetime demand for blood increased rapidly and, after study by representatives of the American Medi cal Association, American Hospital As sociation, Public Health Service, Red Cross, and other health organizations. The Red Cross Blood Program emerged in 1947. Then, when the Department of Defense asked the Red Cross to co ordinate blood collection activities for national defense and the Korean con flict, it was able to meet these demands as well. Because of its extensive experience as a blood-collecting agency, the Red Cross had held a position of leadership in promoting the production and use of blood derivatives. Nearly 18, 100, 000 cc. of gamma globulin have been pro vided by the Red Cross for the preven tion or modification of measles and in fectious hepatitis, and 315, 900 vials (100 cc. each) of serum albumin have been made available to combat shock and kidney and liver ailments. Today, the Red Cross, the Ameri can Medical Association, the American Hospital Association, the American As sociation of Clinical Pathologists, and the American Association of Blood Banks have created a Joint Blood Coun cil to develop a nationwide system that will make blood available to donors' families and friends whenever and wherever they may need it. The next bloodmobile visit to High Point will beat the Armory on Wednes day and Thursday, June 13 and 14.
