Blood Program In
Critical Stage

c. H. Braley, administrative
director of the blood program in
the Columbus Region. has notified
Judge Maurice E. Beathard, local
program chairman, that the blood
collection rate for all mobile unit
operations has been dropping
steadily over the past several
weeks. Quota production since
April IA should have totaled L.
$50 pints. Only ITO pints, less than
half of the quota, has been col
lected.
AS a result of these poor coll
lections the blood supply of the
region is critical. Many chapters
have called the Center over the
past few days asking why certain
individuals were not receiving the
blood they needed or on the par
ticular date it was requested. The
answer is obvious. With the low
collections, it is impossible for the
center to meet the blood needs.
The situation is serious and crit
ical enough to merit the attention
of every citizen who has skipped
his donor appointment or failed to
make one when the unit was in
town.
The answer is simple. Blood
collections depend on YOU. Not
your neighbor or the guy down the
street. Then when YOU need
blood, your name will be on the
list. When you give, you're sure to
oct your share.
