Difficulties Facing Blood Work Discussed Difficulties facing the continu ation of the Red Cross blood pro gram in Jackson county were discussed at a meeting of volun teer workers here Friday after noon. As developed in the discus sion, they include the lack of enough donors to provide even for the blood needs of Jackson county, and the shortage of funds to conduct the program. Speakers included Harold Berentson, chairman of the Port 1 a n d-Multnomah Red Cross chapter, and Paul B. Bishop Jr., director of blood center recruit ment for the Red Cross in Port land. .. Traces History Berentson traced the history of the Red Cross blood program, and explained that in 1948' the Red Cross was given responsi bility for the civilian collection of blood. During the Korean con flict, he explained, public re action was such that there was little trouble 'in obtaining blood for both military and civilian use. But since the fighting end ed, all blood centers are having considerable trouble obtaining enough donors to meet normal civilian quotas. Berentson reminded the group that during the last bloodmobile visit in Jackson county, not enough blood was supplied to meet the needs in this county alone, and forces this area to borrow blood from other cen ters to care for its own needs.

Main Medford "Where You Are Paid to Save": He also discussed the charges made when a patient receives a blood transfusion, which are often misunderstood. In most hospitals the charges include $5 to the hospital for the transfu sion service; $1 for the dispoS' able blood container and other supplies; $2.50 for crossmatch ing and typing blood, and $2.35 to the Red Cross to pay for handling and transportation. Thus the total standard charge is $10.85. In some areas abuses have sent blond costs up to as much as $100 per pint, he ex plained. ' Bishop discussed methods of recruiting doners, and gave three basic reasons why blood supplies are of importance to everyone: 1. A general blood supply for emergencies; 2. Supplies of unusual blood types for immediate use, and 3. A supply of blood, costing $10.85 per pint, to save consid erable amounts of money in times of crisis. The Jackson county group plans a study of the ideas pre sented at the meeting, and will make plans for a recruiting drive for donors when the blood- mobile returns in December. Blood appointments may be made at any time with the Red Cross office in the courthouse, Chapter Chairman Eugene Thorndike led a discussion on the financial aspects of the pro gram, and said continuously ris ing costs require conservation of all possible funds so the pro gram can be continued. .
