Red Cross operates on a fiscal year which began July 1, 1981, and ends June 30, 1982. Kings Mountain donors who are eligi- ble and would like to join the VIP donor group may come to the last bloodmobile for this year on Wednesday, June 30, at First Baptist Church, 605 W. King Street, Kings Mountain, bet- ween the hours of 2:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The goal for this visit is 150 pints and Cleveland County needs 197 pints to meet the goal for June to provide blood transfusions for hospital pa- tients. Last year the visit in Kings Mountain on June 30 took Cleveland County over the top of the yearly goal of 5,800 pints for the first time in the history of the local blood pro- gram. The total number of pro- ductive pints of blood collected last year was 5,814. 2 Mauney Hosery Mill in Kings Mountain is the first industry to make a commitment encourag- ing employees to participate and become a VIP. Most industries in the county who participate in the Red Cross Blood Program Sponsor or co-sponsor two visits per year. These employees would then go to two other community visits to donate the pints needed to qualify for VIP. Red {Cross will sponsor the The need for specific type recruitment has been made necessary by hospitals and doc- tors using more blood com- ponents than whole blood at the present time. Eighty-three per- cent of the blood now collected by Red Cross is used in blood components. These are blood products such as red cells, platelets, plasma, etc. Patients are given the specific part of the blood needed rather than the whole blood in the majority of cases. Donors now may be help- ing several patients with their one pint of blood donated. Computer records on Cleveland County dated February 15, 1982 from the Blood Center in Charlotte, which is the fifth largest Blood Center in the United States, show specific type categories on blood donors as follows: A postive, 2984; A negative, 605; B positive, 884; B negative, 140; O positive, 3673; O negative, 679; AB positive, 270; AB negative, 49; A DU Positive, 24; B DU positive, 6; O DU positive, 26; AB DU positive, 0; Other, 89. Total: 9429. This breakdown shows O positive blood types and A positive to be the most common and many feel they do not need to be blood donors because they do not have a “rare” blood type.
