For the last two months, men
from Lt. Chauncey E. Barney's
field house company have been
giving blood donations to St. Eliza
beth hospital's blood bank under
the aucpices of the university blood
doning committee. The names of
these men are listed on today's
army page.
The war council has been plan
ning to start a civilian drive as
soon as St. Elizabeth's staff com
pletes organization for this serv
ice. It is expected that the drive
can be started at the beginning of
the second semester. Further no
tice about it will be printed in
The Nebraskan at that time.
Blood Sent to 7th Corps Area.
Blood from St. Elizabeth's is
requisitioned by the OCD. and can
be sent anywhere in the 7th corps
area to be used by either civilian
or army hospital units. At the
present time there is no great need
for blood in this country, but in
case of civilian or military emer
gency, there would be a run on the
bank, and blood would be needed
immediately. In such a case, stu
dents who register for blood
doning in the registration to be
held next semester, would be called
on in great numbers.
Miss Grace Otis, hospital staff
member in charge of the blood
bank, has stated that blood do
nated to the local bank may be
requisitioned for use overseas, and
probably will be as the Invasion
continues.
Experts Needed.
Methods for the collection of
blood can be carried out only un
der the technical supervision of
qualified doctors attached to blood
donor centers.
It 'has been suggested that
portion of the Trinity College
campus in Washington, D. C, be
turned into a poultry farm, to
help in the shortage of poultry
products.
