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.

"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. .
