FINE SUPPORT
Volunteers Now Being
Sought to Donate
Blood
At a meeting in the Court house
Monday night of all Chairmen and
committee members taking an active
part in the blood program of Edenton
and Chowan County, plans were com
pleted for the first visit of the blood
mobile to this community November
15th.
Dr. Southgate Lee, Chairman of the
Coordinating Committee of the Blood
Program, stated that, “the idea of this
program is to keep a constant supply
of blood available to this community
so that all we will have to do is to
reach in an ice box and get blood ,of
all types. Not only may you get blood
in your hospital but if needed in your
home you may also acquire this blood.
A fresh supply of blood is kept on
hand at all times. After the first 21
days if the blood is not used it is sent
back to the Center in Norfolk and
made into plasma.”
Dr. Lee stated there are advantages
in being a blood donor. “No pain at
all is felt in giving blood,” he said,
“and it makes the donor feel better in
that it stimulates blood forming or
gans. It also makes one feel better
mentally, having done his part in
saving a life.” He stated that he
personally has given 50 pints of blood
in his life.
All healthy, male or female between
ages of 18 and 60 are eligible to do
nate. Those under 21 must have writ
ten permission from their family.
About one hour is required to go
through the giipnb prpgedure. This
including the ‘time it "takes the donor
to go to the \rmory, which is the
center of this community, and back to
his work or home to resume his regu
lar active duties.
“If the need of blood in your com
munity is an emergency,” said Mr.
Lee, National Guard Air Service will
rush it to you by plane. All you have
to do is to have your chairman meet
the plane, where’ he will receive the
blood and deliver it immediately to
you All communities visited by the
bloodmobile have given their full sup
port and it is hoped that eventually all
hospitals will be included in this pro
gram.”
