Show Red Cross Explains Blood Donations In answer to Toots for sticking her neck out about blood donations dona-tions the Red Cross comes forth with the following information. Blood plasma laboratories cost $65,000 a unit so they are built in centers of large population. San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Denver Den-ver have these laboratories. They do have mobile units that tour about getting donations but the blood must be processed within with-in 24 hours, so these units work within 75 miles of a laboratory. The Red Cross is gathering up 125,000 pints of blood a week to be made into plasma. We think that will hold Toots awhile. |
