Marion progress., 1949-12-15

in Clinchfield last Wednesday was
pronounced most successful by Red
Cross officials.
There were 1873 donors examin-
ed during the day. Eighty-five
pints of whole blood and nine pints
for plasma was given.
It was explained that although
this is not the biggest number of
pints of blood received it is the
highest number of prospective DON
ors who have presented themselves
an any visit in Mcdowell county.
The high number of reflections, ac-
cording to DR.. Margaret Burn
es, of the Asheville Blood Center,
was caused by the fact that so
many of the prospective donors had
colds. Had it not been for this, the
number of pints received would
have exceeded the 100 mark, she
said. DIR. Burnes accompanies the
Bloodmobile on each Of its visits
and is accompanied by four nurses
and two blood custodians.
Mcdowell county still leads this
region in the number of volunteers
and number of pints received. The
average is IS pints per visit.
Rev. M. O. Owens, chairman of
the program, and Mrs. Ann Haw-
kins, executive secretary of the To-
cal chapter, accepted an invitation
to talk to other chairmen, and Sc
cretaries of this region, in Ashe-
vile last Friday.
With the conclusion of the visit
to Clinchfield, a total of $40 pints
of whole blood have been accepted
from this county in addition to the
blood accepted for splasma.
