Dr. Hbbs Taking His
Two-Weeks Training
Lt. Col. Ralph E. Hibbs,
Medford, is taking his annual
two weeks active duty train
ing with his Army Reserve
unit, the 45th Station hos
pital, in Denver, Colo, at Fitz
simons General Hospital.
Lieutenant Colonel Hibbs
serves the 45th as its chief of
surgical services. The unit has
won the department of the
Army's superior unit award
the last two years.
The men and women who
come to the Red Cross chap
ter house, Medford, next Mon
day and Tuesday to donate
blood at the visit of the Red
Cross bloodmobile will wit
ness, as donors always have,
a quiet and smooth running
operation
But Mrs. J. W. Burba, local
blood program chairman
said that few Medford donors
realize the detailed planning
that precedes a blood collec
tion, the variety of work and
equipment required to make
a. blood collection efficient
and successful
The date of the collection is
scheduled s e v er a 1 months
ahead. This is done for sev-
eral reasons, one of which is
to fit the visit here in with
those to other communities in
this section of the state, for
the bloodmobile from the Pa
cific Northwest Red Cross re
gional blood center at Port
land is on the road for a full
week before returning to its
home base.
Giv. Ampl. Tim
Another reason for long-
range scheduling is to give the
chapter here ample time to
choose the site for the visit
and change the location if
necessary for any reason.
Most important of all, Mrs,
Burba said, the chapter here
must have time to recruit
donors
"That's where our work
really begins," she said.
"Our recruitment commit
tee, headed by James Rowan,
works for weeks before the
visit writing letters to organ
izations, service groups and
business firms asking their
cooperation in making this
community effort a success,
and telephoning and calling
on prospective donors to urge
them to give. It sometimes
takes as many as six calls be
fore we get one donor signed
up.
Volunteer Groups
"Then, two or three weeks
before the collection, the
chairmen of our volunteer
groups Gray Ladies, Staff
Aides, Canteen and Motor
Service begin getting work
ers lined up to perform the
various volunteer chores nec
essary to making the collec
tion a success.
"Motor Service volunteers
drive donors who live or work
at a distance from Medford;
Gray Ladies act as reception
ists, and Staff Aides register
the donors.
"Our Canteen workers
serve lunch to the mobile unit
staff and light refreshments
to the donors after they have
given blood. Ordering the
food is one of the advance du
ties of Mrs. Conro Fiero, Can
teen Service chairman."
Non-Technical Phaie
All this, she said, makes up
the non-technical phase of
getting the 350 pints of blood
which are this community's
quota on mobile unit visits.
The technical work is done
by the professional staff of
the mobile unit from the Port-

land center,
The unit staff consists of a
nurse-in-charge, four to six
staff nurses depending on the
number of expected donors,
and a custodian. A physician
also is present at every oper
ation. Four local physicians
volunteer their time to pro
vide coverage during each day
of the bloodmobile visit.
Volunteer registered nurses
of Medford help the mobile
unit nurses. Under the phy
sician's direction, the nurses
take the medical history of
donors, check their blood
pressures and their hemoglo
bin, and take the blood of
donors who are physically eligible.
Physicians supervise these
activities and examine donors
whose eligibility for physical
reasons is in doubt.
The custodian drives . the
bloodmobile, the large truck
containing the unit's equip
ment, sees that the refrigerat
ed chests in which the blood
is stored are properly iced,
and with the assistance of the
volunteers at places of collec
tion, unloads the equipment
carried. A second automobile
brings the nurses.'
After the collection is fin
ished, the blood is shipped
back to the regional center
either by small truck sent out
from the center or by rapid
commercial transportation.
And, that." Mrs. Burba
concluded, "is how it's done.
It looks simple, but it takes
a lot of work."

the Rod Cross chapter house,
60 Hawthorne ave Monday,
