A United Press dispatch reveals that a man in Pheonix, Arizona, saved his own life by making a contribution to the Red Cross blood center there. It seems that Albert A. Davis, who. on May 16. 1949, made his fifth donation of rare negative O type blood was critically in jured in an automobile accident the next day. Doctors at the hospital believed there was only one chance in a thousand that they could Obtain the right kind of blood to save him, but called the Red Cross center anyway. To their astonishment they were told that one pint was available Donated by a man named Davis the day before. "Miracles" of this sort make headlines, of course. But the blood miracle is no less aston ishing because it happens thou sands of times a day under per fectly normal circumstances. Although blood has fascinated man since the first caveman stubbed his toe and ' saw red," practically nothing was known about it until 1616 when a Lon don physician made the aston ishing assertion that the blood circulated through our bodies pumped by the organ known as the heart. Even after this was demonstrated and accepted, 284 years elapsed before another major contribution to our know ledge of the blood was made. In the meantime a few at tempts were indeed made to transfuse blood from well people to sick ones. Such efforts had failed before Wiliam Harvey's time and they continued to fail. The transfusions were accomp lished rather neatly, but the patients nearly always died. In 1900 a German scientist named Landsteiner made the discovery which makes the blood miracle possible. He found that there were four basically different types of human blood, none of which would success fully mix with any of the others. Thus blood typing before trans fusion made it not only safe but successful. The practical use of blood to save lives thus began a scant 50 years ago. World War I contributed the technique of preserving blood so that indir ect transfusions could be made. World War II contributed the discovery of plasma which can be stored for weeks and which acts just as effectively as whole blood in cases of shock. Today, not only in its whole form but in dozens of fractions like plaz ma, serum albumin, gamma glooulin. and fibrinogen, blood is saving the lives of thousands of people every year that would have been corpses with the same ailment a century ago. 4-H CLUBS MEET The Modern Miss and Cass County Homemakers met with the Cass County Cooks and the Cass County Canners at the home of Peggy Sand June 30.
