Blood Donors Urged
To Act 10 Save Lives
OF u. ). Soldiers
Red Cross Says PIosmo
Is Urgently Needed
On ButtIefronts

The lives of American fighting
men in the Far East may be saved
by volunteer blood donors in the
District, the Red Cross pointed out
today, In appealing for local citi-
zens to stop by the Naval Hospital
here for the few minutes required
to make a small blood donation.
1t takes but half an hour to make
the donation and person is able
to 60 on about his business--with-
out even noticing the effects.
The Donors Center is located in
the hospital at Constitution avenue
and Twenty-third street NV. 1t is
open every day except Saturday and
Sunday, from 10 a m. to 6 pm.
Doctors at the center will ask
few questions. will give quick tests
to make sure that the donation will
not injure a person and then will
give an injection to anesthetize the
donors arm.
The donation may be a half pint
or full pint of blood and within
two or three days the human system
will have made up this amount.
The blood is transformed into
plasma, which can be used for
transfusions at the scene of battle
The need is desperate, the Red
Cross says, and the few minutes that
Washingtonians may spend in the
process of a donation may save the
.life of an American boy.
