Red Cross Calls
| On First Donor

0AAA NSVCIUOl1 was Tie ITS
blood donor to be summoned tc
contribute his blood to patient
as part of the Red Cross blood
donor program, Mrs. Marjorie Viii
son, Kennewick Home Service
Worker, reported today. Meverden
was one of nine KiWanian volun-
teers, who were examined and
typed last week.
Renewing her call for donors,
Mrs. Wilson said that the Red
Cross hopes to list up to so vol
unteers at the earliest possible
date. The majority of the group
should be men, she explained, al
though there is definite need fol-
about Is women donors. The next
examinations will be- given on
Friday.
Reviewing the organization of
the present drive for blood don
ors, Mrs. Wilson pointed to a gen
eral agreement of Red Cross and
health authorities that no compre-
hensive plan for supplying blood
to dangerously i'll patients has ex-
lsted. Physicians have been COM
PEELED to secure plasma from the
Seattle Blood Bank, and often
the time element may place the
lives of patients in jeopardy.
With the assistance of DR..
tudor, County Health Director,
Mrs. Ray Lee, Red Cross Home
Service Director for Franklin
County, Miss Dorothy Brown, Red
Cross Area Representative. and
Mrs. Wilson arranged a meeting
some weeks ago with the Benton-
FRANKLIN County Medical Associa-
ton to draft blood donor pro-
gram.
Physicians unanimously approx
ed the proposal they presented.
Most significant factor in the
plan, Mrs. Wilson believes, is its
definite assignment of responsible
tiles to each participating group
and individual.
Under the plan, the Red Cross
has agreed to be responsible for
the recruitment of donors, for ar
ranging the physical examination,
for providing laboratory tests, and
donor transportation when need
ed, and for maintaining accurate
confidential files.
Physicians participating in the
program have agreed to furnish
physical examinations for donors
without fees. The county health
department has provided space and
the necessary laboratory facilities.
The staff of Our Lady of
Lourdes hospital has accepted the
responsibility of tipping blood,
maintaining master file of dom
ors, summoning donors when need
ed between the hours of z pm.
and 8 am, and looking to the well
fare and comfort of the donor
during and after blood transfu-
Sions.
Donors are asked to keep Red
Cross officials informed Of any
change in their physical status
that would make their giving Of
blood unwise, and to advise any
changes of address or telephone
number.
