cells etc. takes place within a few
days in a healthy person and, Of
course, only healthy people are ac-
ceptable as blood donors.
Frances: How long will it take?
| mean the whole procedure?
DR.. Feaster: 1t should not take
over as minutes.
Frances: Is it true that I can't
eat before giving blood?
Dr. Feaster For a four hour pc
riod before donating, you should
not eat fatty foods, such as eggs,
meat fried foods, butter, and the
like. Fat is picked up in the blood,
and such blood is not satisfactory.
But you shouldn't go hungry before
you give blood. Eat some toast with
jelly or jam-no butter-or you may
eat crackers and milk. Drink some
coffee or tea without cream After
the donation. you may return at
once to your normal diet
Frances: Where will my blood be
used?
DR.. Feaster: In the national blood
program for military and civilian
use, and in the Garrett County Me-
mortal Hospital right here in Oak
land.
Frances: How does the blood pro-
gram benefit me?
DR.. Fcaster: In several ways. If
you or any member of your fam
lily should need blood during medi-
cal treatment, it will be provided
without cost. Also, if you or any
member of your family should meet
with an accident or sudden illness
while you are in another place, you
would receive blood without cost.
The program is nationwide and al
most all areas are covered Also,
some of the blood that is taken is
processed into gamma globulin.
This is a very important point to
remember. AS you have read in the
papers, gamma globulin is being
used to immunize persons who have
been in contact with active cases
of polio. This gamma globulin is
extracted from blood that you give.
One pint of blood is needed to eX-
tract enough gamma globulin to
immunize 50 pound child. You
can see, therefore. that it would
require about three pints of blood
to obtain enough gamma glObulin
to immunize a person who weighed
$50 pounds. The supply of this
gamma globulin is so short in sup
ply that the distribution is under
the direct control Of the Office of
Defense Mobilization. Gamma glob-
ulin cannot be bought-if and when
needed it is distributed through
the State and County Health of
fees. Although the shooting war is
over, there are many reasons why
blood should be given in even
greater amounts.
Frances: What should I do if il
became necessary for me to receive
blood someplace else?
Dr. Feaster: All you would have
to do is to tell the doctor that you
came from a community that has a
blood program. They will check
with the proper authorities here
and our local blood program would
replace the blood you had received.
Frances: Do people receiving
Red Cross blood ever pay for it?

minutes after the first alarm
sounded. 1t is believed they were
overcome by smoke while asleep.
Apparently, both had tried to
reach the safety of the outdoors
but dropped dead before arriving.
The fire started near the entrance
of the trailer, where the boys
had been making their home for
sometime. Damage from the fire was
estimated at less than $500.
