First Red Cross Blood Center Is Opened In Atlanta The first blood center in the Southeast operating under the new National Blood Program of the American Red Cross was opened February 17 in Atlanta. Ga , ac cording to Miss Addie Mae Cooke, chairman of the Cherokee County Red Cross Chapter. The Atlanta center, which will serve 43 surrounding Red Cross chapters, also is one of the first such centers to be opened in the country. Miss Cooke explained. She added that the Red Cross pro gram is expected to cover the entire Southeast and the rest of the nation within five years ? sup plying needed blood and blood dcrivativies for military, veterans, and civilian hospitals at no cost. "We are looking for the day when the citizens of Cherokee County can participate in this vast new program undertaken by the Red Cross, which proved the job of supplying blood could be done by obtaining blood for the armed forces during the war," Miss Cooke said. "We are proud that the Southeastern section was among the first in the nation to open a center, but it isn t surpris ing since the first Red Cross blood center was originated in Augusta. Ga., back in 1937." Miss Cooke reported a speech by Admiral Ross T. Mclntire, wartime Surgeon General of the U. S. Navy and administrator of the National Blood Program, who was principal speaker at the ior mal opening of the Atlanta Cen ter. "The regional blood program is a concrete medium for the giving of real assistance to those in need of it," "Dr. Mclntire told the 200 guests at the prededicatory lun cheon. "It creates a strong, direct bond between the healthy, gener ous citizens and the sick and in jured who look to them for aid. There is nothing more personal than a gift of blood. It is the giv ing of a part of one's own self. There is no greater gift than this." The former wartime naval chief of medicine and White House physician pointed out that the casualties of peace are even great er in number than the victims of war. "In this country we lose a life every fifteen minutes in high way accidents alone, and in the same brief time wound or cripple 35 more people. A great loss of blood is typical in almost all such accidents." "There is no denying the need for blood," Mclntire continued. "Hospital and medical authorities estimate this need at 3,700,000 pints a year. This amount will take care of the need in civilian, military, and veterans hospitals in rn average year. But even this might not be adequate in a time ol great disaster or other national emergency. "This places squarely before the American Red Cross and all its chapters? indeed before our en tire population ? a tremendous challenge: Can we in time of peace duplicate for all our people the extraordinary lifesaving and health -restoring service that we gave to the armed forces in World War II? We are convinced that we can. We are fortified in this conviction euAKMreio MING f SPRING HAS SPRUNG! NOW IS THE TF ;E TO . . .
