Chowan Likely To
Lose Blood Bank
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
tfie blood bank. It was report
ed that. there is another blood
bank available where blood
could-be secured for 325 a pint.
However, in an interview with
Dr. Frank Wood he stated that
it would be disastrous to lose
the Red Cross blood bank, for a
majority of the persons who re
l ceive the blood are not in a
: position to pay this extra
j charge. He said that there
would be operations he could
not perform without the blood.
He cited a case where recently
be performed an operation and
it was necessary to give the pa
tient three pints of blood. Since
this patient was not able to pay
all of her medical expenses now
he did not know where she
could get an additional $75 for
the blood. 1
The local hospital uses 300 to
400 pints of blood a year or at
$25 a pint this would cost from
$7,500 to SIO,OOO a year for the
blood from a commercial blood j
bank. In addition to this the!
Red Cross Spent $2,512 in Chu- i
wan County last year in relief |
after Hurricane Donna. “It is, 1
therefore, felt that we are get- i
ting our money’s worth out of
the Red Cross -when the quota
is only $1,865,” says Mr. Shack
elford. j
“Your additional contribution]
is urgently needed. It may be
mailed to Chowan County Red |
Cross,’ Edenton, N. C., or left 1
with Mrs. Irene Dunbar, this,
year’s treasurer.”
Mr. Shackelford appeared be-!
fore the County Commissioners
Monday morning to ascertain if
financial help could not come
from the county. He explained
that if blood was not available
through the blood bank, the
County would be required to
pay for thb blood used in trans
fusions for many patients, which
would amount to far more than
the S4OO lacking to maintain the
blood bank.
Mr. Shackelford stated that of
the $1,300 raised, only $l5O was
collected in rural Chowan Coun-
I ty, the remainder being secured
in Edenton.
Mr. Shackelford was request
ed to contact pastors of all
churches in the county with the
request that they appeal to their
I congregations in an effort to
j raise what is lacking to con
j tinue the blood bank. It is

the situation is brought before

Chowan Club Members Joining
In Home Demonstration Week
Two hundred fifty Home Dem
onstration Club members from
Chowan County are observing
the 16th National Home Dem
onstration Week, April 30th
through May 6th. Nearly 8 1 '■>
million women, in all 50 states
and Puerto Rico, now use home
economics extension services of
one kind or another to help
solve their home and family liv
ing problems. Some of these
women live on farms some in
town and cities. All are try
ing to manage their homes more
efficiently and have healthier,
happier families.
Home Demonstration work is
an adult educational program in
better homemaking. Through its
“show how” and “tell how”
methods, women learn to apply
the latest findings developed by
home economics research. For
these “students” no school bells
ring, no report cards are issued,
no studies ,are required, and no
classrooms assigned. Instead “pu
pils” plan their own courses,
and choose their own “teachers.”
The program—planned by and
for homemakers—is conducted
cooperatively by the Extension
