Show BLOOD MOBILE SLATE H.S. DRAWING APR. 20 The Red Cross mobile unit will hold a community blood drawing from 2 to 7 p.m. next Monday in the show room of Petty Motor, 21st South and 9th East. The unit will take the entire show room to set up for operation and is being sponsored by Sugar House Rotary and Lions clubs and chamber of commerce. Mrs. Charles Lay, a publicity director for the Red Cross, said the blood drawing had been developed to the point where there is no pain nor any after effects. Tests are made for all precautions, blood count and blood pressure. She pointed out that it was important im-portant to belong to a group, for by belonging to church group, club or business or professional organizations, organ-izations, this gives each family member access to credit for blood. The blood is drawn by specially trained nurse and except for nurses taking blood and blood count and a doctor, all other duties are performed per-formed by trained volunteers. It requires seven minutes to take blood and ten minutes rest period in the lounge, after which refreshments are served all donors in the canteen. E. R. Cayton, president of Sugar House Lions, named his health and welfare committee, Richard A. Lambert, Edward Hayes, David M. Evans and Alfred Hollinghaus, to assist in the program. He urged all Lions clubs in the area to support the blood drawing. Other organizations supporting the drawing are Westminster college, col-lege, Wasatch Presbyterian church and Petty Motor will have approximately approx-imately 80 donors. Mrs. Lay said, "New responsibilities responsi-bilities of the blood center are to furnish blood from which polio serum is made. We also have responsibilities re-sponsibilities to the armed services, local hospitals and civil defense. The local quota is 50,000 pints." Neal White will take appointments appoint-ments for donors at the First Security Secur-ity bank. Mr. White and Mr. Cayton Cay-ton are co-chairmen of the blood drawing. |
