Red Cross Blood
Service Vital to
County 'BIeeder'

A County businessman who
suffers from hemophilia is con
Valescing at his home this week
thanks to the blood resources of
the Montgomery County Red
Cross and the generous response
of six County residents.
Carl Kicker cut himself in a
fall last week and the injury be-
came serious because he is a
hemophiliac-a person who con-
tinues to bleed because of the re-
fusal of the blood to coagulate
and clot.
Three friends of Mr. Kicker
went to Suburban Hospital to of
fer blood for essential transfus-
ions, but they were refused be-
cause of the time element. Be-
fore blood can be used, it must
be analysed and typed. When
blood is used for hemophilia it
must be still warm.
At this point the Red Cross
was called and six County per-
sons registered by blood type
the same as Mr.. Ricker'S blood
were contacted and went at once
to the hospital for the donation.
They were: Mr.. l.. B. Anderson,
ANTHONY Bak. Charles r Rarnac
Sgt. Edward r. Barber, Mrs.
Mary Helen Block, and Mrs. Dor
othy Bowie.
Red Cross personnel have cited
this instance to the SENTINEL
as good argument for giving
blood to the Red Cross Bloodmo-
bile. In this way blood can be
typed and appropriate donors con-
tacted quickly in the event of
emergency.
