in the Pacific, with increasing
American casualties, makes it more
important than ever that Washing
ton fill its weekly quota OF 1000
pints of blood, Mrs. Loretta j. Bick-
ford, director of the District Red
Cross Blood Donor Center, said last

Discussing the belief held by some
persons that the end of the war in
Europe makes blood donations less
urgent than before, Mrs. Bickford
explained why this was not true
with respect to Washington.
Before We day, she said, there
were 80 blood donor centers in the

Instead OF a decreased demand
for blood by the Army and Navy
there is every indication that 1t will

Our recent heavy casualties on
Okinawa show the urgency of keep
ing this program going at full
speed"
Mrs. Bickford said that for the
last few weeks the blood donor CEN
ter here had not quite reached its
weekly quota, but that she expected

would increase with the first news
