Blood Program
Gets Underway
The details of Mill City and area's
part in the National Blood Program
and Bloodmobile work will be worked
< ut during a noon meeting, Monday,
May 28, at Mom & Pop’s cafe in Mill
CitJ, Dr. Wm. Teutsch, Jr. said today.
Red Cross representatives conferred
with Mill City spokesmen this week on
the Bloodmobile’» visit to this area.
Monday, June 25. Red Cross officials
ceclared today that plasma now is
available free of charge to Mill City
and area citizens. Local doctors are
applying for their allottments of the
precious blood plasma.
Those in charge of the visit of
Bloodmobile here expressed the hope
that some 200 pints of blood could be
collected during its stand in Mill City,
Monday, June 25. The territory in­
cluded in the Mill City Bloodmobile
visit includes Lyons, Mehama, Gates,
Detroit, and Idanha.
Arrangements
for stationing of the Bloodmobile
curses and equipment in the Mill City­
grade school gymnasium are being
made.
Mrs. Wm. L. Teutsch, Jr. said today,
“I hope representatives from each of
the clubs and social groups in the
area will attend the Bloodmobile
planning lunch at Mom & Pop’s."
Mrs. Teutsch continued. “We are
fortunate that the program is under
way in our community. It means
that physicians, with our help, can
have the blood urgently needed to save
lives here and abroad. Some 50 per­
cent of the whole blood donated goes
to meet military needs. A plane
leaves every 48 hours from Portland
on its way to Korea with life-giving
blood.”
