Blood Need Cited; ; Drawing !; i Set Thursday 1 Recent closing of the auxiliary blood replacement unit in Salem throws "more emphasis , than ever" on the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile to Salem Thursday. ' J U : Red Cross officials said Tues day the need for blood was con tinued "critical" and that blood being used runs far ahead of the amount being contributed. : j ' In a recent hospital case, it was disclosed, a patient was given 30 pints during treatment. : During October 309 pints were used in this area but only 209 were contributed by the public. November's contribution has been higher, officials say, thanks to the 205 pints contributed by Willamette University students alone. Another 126 were con tributed by others. But the lex penditure of blood still . exceeds the incoming supply. ! i Theme for the December Bloodmobile program is "A Gift of Life." I "A pint of blood makes a nice Christmas gift for a patient who. needs it," said a Red Cross rep resentative. "Sometimes it can not be bought, but iV can be given. . ; I The Bloodmobile will . be. at the downtown Salem Armory on Ferry Street Thursday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. i j The blood replacement center, a place where the public could donate blood to replace ' that given to friends or relatives in local hospitals, was closed sev eral weeks ago because of lack of patronage.
