unqualified success when Jackson

contributed by donors as the Red

center in Mobile which will keep
. constant supply in the local
hospital TO be used free of charge
by any patient in need of a trans
fusion.

son county hospital will be kept
in the f%rigeration unit donated to
the hospital by the Kiwanis club
and 1t will be replaced every IA
days with a fresh supply. The I'M
used blood which is taken back
to the center in Mobile is made
into to plasma, officials stated.

for all emergencies is a boon te

administering the blood. Mrs
Brumfield also said that a stand
ard fee for the performing o
blood transfusions is expected t.
be set up by hospitals.
