200 Blood Donors Needed This Week
Fieldcrest employees will have a
Prominent part in the visit of the Blood-
mobile to the Leaksville Moose Hall on
rorbes Street Thursday, August 5, with
a goal of 200 pints.
^'ieldcrest Mills will conduct its own
^^cruitment campaign in its Leaksville
Plants. Every employee of the Bedspread
Karastan Mills will be. contacted
^1(1 asked to give a pint of blood. Giles
Runnings, mill superintendent, and
ones Norman, industrial relations rep-
osentative, will be recruitment chair
man for the two mills, respectively.
Raymond Martin, Leaksville recruit-
ant chairman, will lead the campaign
°r donors outside the Bedspread and
arastan Mills. He will be assisted by
^fann Simpson, Leaksville fire chief,
no will recruit donors from among city
mployees and from business places.
John G. Cunningham, co-chairman
of the Tri-City Blood program, in mak
ing an urgent appeal for donors, points
out that the actual usage of blood for
Tri-City people averages from 90 to
100 pints each month and therefore, a
minimum of 200 pints is needed to take
care of the months of July and August.
“The 200 pints will barely meet the
community’s needs until the time of the
Bloodmobile visit in September and will
do little toward reducing the Tri-Cities’
long-standing deficit in blood dona
tions,” Mr. Cunningham explains.
He reports that for the 12 months
ending June 30, the Tri-Cities used 1,077
pints of blood. During the same period,
only 1,018 pints were donated, leaving
the community in arrears by 59 pints for
the most recent fiscal year.
The records show that in the past four
years 3,694 pints of blood have been re
ceived by Tri-City people while only
