Just who can give blood? Americans In good health can be blood donors until they reach age 46 Instead of age W or 81 as m the past. A joint announcement of this liberalisation of medical stan dards for blood was made on June 16 by the American Nation al Red Cross in Washlngton,D,C, and by the American Association of Blood Banks m Chjeago. The two organizations together col lect and process SO per eehtof the more than 6,500.00 plnti of blood used annually for surgery and therapy In U, 8. hospitals. Dr. Tlbor J. Greenwalt, medi cal director of the A merle an Na tional Red Cross Blood Program, emphasised that any healthy per son can give a pint of blood without worry. He said, "We have many donors who have given 11, 12 and even IS gallons of blood without Incident, Most of these are eager and able to con tinue giving. The change will per mit them to do so except In jurisdictions where it is con trary to local regulations.' Dr. Frank Coleman of Tampa, Florida, and president of the American Association of Blood Banks said. "This extension of the eligible age limit for blood donors is in recognition of two facts first, that the need for blood Is constantly Increasing at a rate of about 12 per cent an nually; second, thanks to better medical care,better nutrition and other factors, Americans are living longer and also keeping their health and vigor longer than in the past," Donors 66 years of age or over, under the new ARC and A ABB policies, may continue to give blood if they obtain the written consent of their personal physi cian on the day of the donation. Donors must P ugoodhealth, have normal temperature, pulsel and blood pressure, and meet the other requirements for blood donors. Individuals should check with their local Red Cross blood center or community or hospital blood bank relative to their eligi bility to give blood. State laws generally require blood donors to be SI years old or to have parental consent to give between 18 and 21, A num ber of states,includlngCallfornial Kansas, Washington, New YorkJ Indiana, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Oregon, recently enacted leg islation permitting those 18 to 21 to give without parental con sent. In some states those of this age who can give blood must be self-supporting and living a way from home. ' Both organisations have blood clearing houses, permittlngbloodl given locally to be credited to patients In other cities and areas with surplus blood to aid those where It Is short. Exchanges be tween the two clearing house system are made possible under a joint interorganicatlonal agree ment signed between the ARC and AABB, .
