Blood la tha life you share with a sick friend, an injured neigh bor or relative, a stranger who needs aureerv. You have about 12 pints of life with you all the time. Yet when you share one pint to help someone live, your body quickly makes more, The only blood factory la the human body. About three times a year tha Bloodmoblle from Tidewater Blood Center, in Norfolk, visits Peraulmans County at Hertford. These visits assure, blood for anyone In this area who needs it. Persons 18 through 60, and mowers wnose last oaoy is at least six months old, are elig ible to give. Blood may be do nated up to five times a year without harm to the donor. We have people In our county who have given two. three, and four GALLONS of blood over the years. " When a person needs and re ceives blood, this person does not have to pay for the blood itself. The hospital does charge a fee for partial processing, for cross matching, and for admin istering the blood. This Is for less than the $22 to $75 M pint patients must pay for com mercial blood. Whole blood can be used for transfusions for only 21 days after donation. After that, how ever, it's still valuable when processed into derivatives, such serum albumin, gamma globu lin, fibrinogen, and others. These keep Indefinitely and are useful In treating many diseases. When you hear of someone In Perquimans County receiving life-giving blood, thank your neighbor or maybe It was you for taking time out to give. One pint a day, every month of the year, that's the least amount of blood needed in Per quimans County. Each pint is a person who cares, sharing life with others through the Ameri can Red Cross.
