Alexandra Hospital
Moves 10 Insure
Blood Bank Supply
Friends Of Those Needing
Trunsfusions Asked
To Donate Any Type

A plan to assure suffcient blood
for persons needing transfusions
from the newly established blood
bank at the Alexandria (Va) Hos
pital was announced today.
In order to keep up the supply OF
blood in the bank, which was estab-
lished under the direction of DR..
Thomas Peery, hospital pathologist,
a patient receiving TRANSMISSION is
expected to have the blood replaced
by one of his relatives or friends.
All Types Needed.
It is not necessary that the donor
have any particular blood type, DR..
Peery explained, since all types are
needed. If the patient is unable to
have the supply replaced, he must
pay $25 for his TRANSMISSION. This
money is used to pay professional
donors when blood of rare type is
needed.
Another source of supply for the
blood bank comes from persons suf-
fering from high blood pressure,
who frequently have blood taken
from them This is then typed and
stored In the hospital refrigerator
together with other blood types.
Several Quarts on Hand.
Several quarts of blood are al
ways on hand in the hospital labor
atory. Dr. Peery pointed out that a
large number of transfusions are
made at the hospital due to It's
proximity to Route 1-scene OF many
automobile accidents.
DR.. Peery emphasized that the
blood bank should not be confused
with the Red Cross plasma bank
In the latter, the blood is dehydrated
and processed so that there are nc
differences in blood types.
DR.. Peery says that in the opera
ton of the blood bank neither donor
nor recipient is aware of the others
identity and relatives or friends car
pay for a patients TRANSMISSION with
a blood donation, although they
might not have been able to render
direct service because Of unsuitable
! type blood.

Alexandra Welfare Cases
Reflect War Conditions
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 13.-The
effect of wartime conditions on pub
lie welfare demands is reflected in
a report made public today by Miss
Barbara Watkins, director of Alex
andria's Department of Public We'll
fare.
Financial assistance is no longer
given to employable persons, al
though the department will help
applicants find jobs. In June only
10 cases of employable persons out
of work were referred to public
welfare and jobs were found for
them. Not one case has been re-
ferred to WPA for employment in
the last four months, whereas in
June, l941, 113 applications for help
were filed by employable people,
some of whom were given financial
help and some WPA jobs.
Domestic relations cases handled
by the department have increased
about 100 per cent in the last year,
according to Miss Watkins.
Cases of juvenile delinquency re-
ferred to the department by the
court have increased about so per
cent in the last four months, with
26 cases recorded for June. Miss
Watkins believes this is due to the
fact that many mothers are work.

vided for children in Alexandria.

Favors Addition 10
Alexandra Hospital
Service Chiefs in Area
Asked by FWA for
Views on Proposal
to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA. Va, July 13.-
Prospects of an addition to the Alex
andria Hospital were regarded as
brighter today with the announce
ment that the Federal Works
Agency has asked for statements
regarding its need from the COM
manding officers of the Army and
Navy units in the district. The
officers were asked whether use Of
the hospital by their personnel
warranted the addition.
Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Marks, Fort
Belvoir commander, told Alexan-
dria's city manager, Carl Budwesky,
in his reply that since hospital IA
cilities at the post are available only
to officers and soldiers, all the civil
ian personnel as well as families of
the officers living at Fort Belvoir
had to depend on the Alexandria
Hospital. He added that he believed
enlargement Of the institution is
imperative.
Mr.. Budwesky said he had every
reason to believe that Capt. R. B.
Simons, commanding officer of the
naval torpedo plant, and Col. Eben
S. Longfellow of the quartermaster
depot would agree with Gen. Marks
Hospital officials have said the
plan to enlarge the 100-bed hos
pital calls for five-story addition
containing 100 rooms, and sepa-
rate nurses home at cost of ap-
proximately $500,0O0 The city is
hoping that the Government will
agree to pay two-thirds of the cost
and advance the remaining one
third, which would be repaid by
the hospital through a bond issue.
Local opinion is reported to be in
favor of erecting the permanent
addition rather than a temporary
structure, and since grants from the
Government under the Lanham Act
call for temporary buildings, the
difference in cost will have to be
met locally.
