Red Cross Blood Bank Drive Set For January 4 Red Cross Bloodmobile will again visit Plattsmouth on Jan uary 4, 1951, under the spon sorship of the Veterans of For eign Wars and the American Le gion, it is announced by Dr. A. L. Amato, chairman of the Red Cross Cass County drive. Dr. Amato wishes to impress local residents that the Red Cross is only sponsor of the drive for blood among individ uals and has taken this posi tion only at the request of na tional medical and health groups. It is in no way a Red Cross Blood Bank,, the blood bank provides blood for doctors and hospitals for anyone who needs them. The Red Cross is the logical organization to col lect blood due to its experience during the last war in collecting blood for servicemen and be cause it has chapters in every county in the United States. The blood program is financed by the Red Cross through con-1 tributions given at the time of its annual fund campaign. Blood center for this region is located at Omaha. It is the tenth center set up in the Unit ed states and has been in oper ation since July, 1948. It in cludes about 40 counties, but is gradually being extended. Blood can be given at the center, or at temporary centers set up as is done here in Plattsmouth and other towns in the region. A traveling unit will visit Plattsmouth on January 4, called the Bloodmobile. It brings along a staff of nurses and all necessary equipment for collec tion of blood. It is set up un der the sponsorship of the Cass County Medical Association and the Cass County Red Cross Chapter, the latter, under the direction of Dr. Amato, is re sponsible for making all ar rangements and recruiting of blood donors. Blood is donated by people who are well for people who are sick. This visit, one-third of all blood donated will be set aside for use of the armed forces a big reason why every effort is being expended to increase tne number of donors. Remember this THE RED CROSS MAKES NO CHARGE FOR THIS BLOOD it is gi7en free to hospitals and doctors ior ratjfns who need it. The hos pital does have a service fee for administering the transfusion. for equipment ana solutions they use, and for their work in cross-matching the blood with that of the patient. No charge ! is maae ior me Diooa useu. Here in Plattsmouth members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion will make a door to door canvass of the city prior to the arrival of the Bloodmobile m an eiiort to se cure as many donors as possible They will probably visit you there is nothing painful about giving a pint of- blood there are no after affects 'doctors and nurses are on hand to give tests prior to the contribution to be sure that you would suf fer in no way from giving the blood. It is good to remember that the need at the blood bank is great. It must be built up. It may be your friend, it could be a son, husband or relative in the armed forces or it could be YOU that will be needing the next pint of 'blood from the Red Cross Blood Bank. It is up to all of us to see that it's there when needed.
