A big change is coming in the overall recruitment of blood donors in the Pacific Northwest Red Cross Blood Program T it led “ Balanced Recruitment” , it is a method of recruiting blood donors by specific blood types to assure a balanced collection of blood without over or under pro duction. “We know we need about 400 pints of blood each day,” says Paul Stuebe, administrator of the program “That amount en ables us to meet the patient needs of the 86 hospitals served by Red Cross. It is necessary, however, to determine how many units, or pints, of each type of blood are needed each day and that production be planned to meet those specific needs We believe the balanced recruitment approach will ac complish this Each donor re cruited will know then that he or she is personally needed.” Among the advantages of bal anced recruitment are the op portunity for recruiters to per sonally call known donors and make appointments for them to come to Bloodmobiles of the Blood Center Recruiters will also be able to re-activate for mer donors who may not have responded to the general call for blood Provision is also made in the plan for the first time donor-an essential member of the program for its healthy fut ure The balanced recruitment program has been introduced throughout the 32 counties of the Pacific Northwest Red Cross Blood Program in April and May at the annual district meetings. Blood chairmen in each county are organizing the efforts of Red Cross volunteers and full im plementation of the program is expected by July 1. The end result is that better usage can be made of the blood which is collected with hospitals receiving blood in the tvpes needed in balanced proportions. D r Frans Peetoom. medical director of the Red Cr iss Blood Program summed it up in a recent District 1 blood program meeting in Longview, Washing ton. “ Physicians want what the patients need when they need it. It's more logical to draw blood by donors types.” Business Moves Vernonia-area residents are advised that effective immed iately all transactions including service and orders for CATV will be conducted at their new business location in the Lloyd Quinn building. Learning Attending the Title I Workshop held in Eugene earlier this month was Patricia Waise, spe cial reading teacher, Mrs. Gin ger Johns, third grade teacher, both from Washington Grade School, and Mrs Wm Rhoades, a member of the Parents Ad visory Council under the Title I program The purpose of the workshop was to acquaint parents and teachers with the problems of children with special learning problems and methods by which they can be reached. Also dis cussed was funding under the program and the importance of parents involvement along with program planning. One of the more interesting topics of discussion was the need of setting realistic goals and programming for children who suffer from reading disabilities and in doing follow-up re-eval- uation There are 319 school districts in the state of Oregon and of these. 288 have programs funded through Title I which is a federal program Of the 21.000 children involved, 66 percent have shown an increase in reading ability and mentioned as one of the programs showing the largest increases was the summer read ing programs which usually operate on a one-to-one basis with the child receiving indi vidual attention otherwise too often denied him Reading is an invaulable tool and without this ability children may be doomed to a life of frustration and inability to take their rightful place in society. Through the use of Title I funding, children now have a second chance at learning the basic fundamentals of reading and in attaining the ability to eventually join with their peers in understanding the printed word. In order to build a really effective school program how ever, it was pointed out. one of the requirements is community involvement and the desire to see that all children are given the chance to receive a good basic education, to the beat of their mental ability whether the child be retarded or have an IQ at genious level. 4-H Community Days Saturday ELECTION RESULTS Saturday.
