Urgent Need Told Blood Needs of One Patient Can Be As High As 40 Pints “No words can express my gratitude. Thanks to the Red Cross Blood Program, I may have a whole new life,” Carolyn Magruder declared. The Washington Grove mother has received 10 cubic centimeters of blood every month since last October, sup lied free of charge through the Montgomery County Red Cross Blood Program. Mrs. Magruder suffers from gamma globulin anemia, Red Cross officials said, and her physician. Dr. Samuel Alexander, hopes that monthly injections of gamma globulin will relieve her condition. The test will end this October, Mrs. Magruder said. “If Mrs. Magruder had bought the blood,” according to Mrs. Anne Quisenberry, Red Cross Blood Program recruitment di rector,” she would have paid $3 per cubic centimeter. The year-long test would have cost her $960.” Mrs. Magruder's case was re viewed at a recent meeting of Red Cross Blood Program offi cials who are planning a stepped-up recruitment drive for much needed blood donations. “The public does not realize that the Red Cross supplies 64 hospitals in the metropolitan area with 450 pints of blood a day,” Mrs. Quisenberry report ed. “In Montgomery County Here's Schedule Of Bloodmobile The following is the Red Cross Bloodmobile schedule for the month of August: Monday, Aug. 5, Montgom ery County Red Cross build ing, 2020 East-West Highway, Silver Spring, 8-7:40 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 7, Atomic Energy Commission (em ployes only), Germantown, 9:80 a.m.-2:40 p.m.; Monday, Aug. 12, IBM Corp., 10301 West Lake Drive, Rockville, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Monday, Aug. 19, Red Cross building, “Gal lon Club,” 3 p.m.-7:45 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 21, Red Cross building, C.

Mrs. Quisenberry gave a few statistics the average person may not be aware of: • ,20 pints of blood are needed just' to prime the pump used in aiheart-lung operation; 10,000 pints a year are used in this county for open-heart opera tions. • 40 pints of blood are needed for a patient with a bleeding ulcer. • One out of every 80 persons will need at least one trans fusion in their lifetime. • Hospital and commercial blood banks charge up to $25 a pint, and from $7.50 up to $22.50 for additional "tray” charges. • Seventy-four per cent of the blood donors in Montgomery County are men. Women may not donate blood during preg nancy, nor for 12 months there after. • Largest percentage of blood donors are between 35 and 50 years old. • If every healthy citizen in this country, between the ages of 18 and 60, gave one pint of blood, they would not have to give again for five years. Red Cross officials said that there are 700 or more county residents, called gallon donors, many of whom have donated blood every eight weeks. Five donations a year are the maxi mum allowed, Mrs. Quisenberry noted. “Our great problem,” she ex plained, “is that blood cannot be used after 21 days. The red cells, carrying oxygen, rapidly deteriorate.” At one time, the excess, unusable blood was thrown out. Now, thanks to a process using intense centri fugal force, the red cells are eliminated, leaving pure plas ma, rich with proteins. “It is quite amazing when you realize that man’s own blood can be processed and used again as serum to cure disease," Mrs. Quisenberry observed.

Gamma globulin made from plasma can be used In the treatment of measles and Infectious hepatitis. It is with this blood byproduct that Mrs. Magruder Is being treated. “Another vitally Important by product Is Fibrinogen,” she pointed out. “Used for massive hemorrhaging, as In the case of childbirth complications. Many other medicinal products are available now with the use of this valuable blood plasma.” The Red Cross officials point ed out the great need for blood donors year-round. The county does not have adequate facilities for freezing the life-giving fluid, they said, and the rapidly in creasing population of this com munity will make more and more demands on Red Cross Blood Bank facilities. “It is so little to give,” Mrs. Quisenberry observed, “and so simple and painless an act, when you consider that one pint of blood may help save a dying child, a badly burned mother, or a desperately ill wage earner.” John Willman, Red Cross publicity chairman for the coun ty, and member of the group’s board of directors, emphasized the Individual and group plans available to Red Cross blood donors. “One pint of blood donated to the Red Cross,” he said, “en titles the donor to free blood transfusions for himself, his wife, children under 18, his parents and parents-in-law for one year. Under the group plan, blood donated by 20 per cent of the total group covers 100 per cent of the group, their husbands and wives, children under 18, parents and parents in-law.” Other Red Cross officials who spoke briefly at the meet ing were Karl Michelet, vice chairman, county Red Cross board of directors; Joshua B.

FOR AN APPOINTMENT CALL MRS. PANCOAST AT CO. 5.01 $4 OR OL. 2-0287 White House Goofs , Woodward Concerned Majority School Board member Everett H. Wood ward gently chided the White House this week for “know ing more about the Chinese than about their nearby neigh bors in Montgomery County.” A form letter, under Presi dent Kennedy’s signature, had been delivered to School Board President Charles W. Bell, but addressed to “Mr. William R. Thomas 111, President, Board of Education of Montgomery County." Thomas was the previous school board chairman, defeated last November by Bell. “It seems to me as a citizen,” Woodward said, “that this is in dicative of other things in the administration.” Woodward produced a photo static copy of the letter at the Board of Education meeting this week. “I just wanted to know if the Shop Center Auction Sale Is Advertised Sale of sprawling Congres sional Plaza Shopping Center at public auction has been adver tised for Aug. 12 at 3:30 p.m. A representative of the own ers, a Pittsburgh, Pa., firm, said however he is confident the sale will not be held as sched uled. If necessary, he said, he will go to court to seek an order pre venting the scheduled sale. The advertisement announc ing the sale was placed by David E. Betts and John Fondi. They said they acted as trustees of the former owner of the pro perty who contends a default has occurred under the terms of a deed of trust he holds. The owners’ legal representa tive, Irving R. M. Panzer, an attorney, contends, however, that required payments have been made and the terms of the deed of trust have been met. The two sides were continu ing negotiations as the date of the scheduled sale neared. The advertisement announc ing the sale described in detail the boundary of the 18-acre tract located beside Rockville Pike on what was formerly Congressional Airport owned by Arthur Hyde. It contains 31 places of business including several major chain stores. A $20,000 deposit will be required at the time of the sale, the ad stated, and under the planned sale the property would be sold subject to existing leases held by the various stores. Pot Luck Dinner Planned by VFW The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Silver Spring Post 2562, is sponsoring a pot luck dinner Saturday, Aug. 10, 2-8 p.m., at 11316 Fern St., Wheaton. Pro ceeds will go to the Wheaton Rescue Squad. VFW members, their wives and a number of Silver Spring merchants have donated "tons of ham, chicken, roast beef, and other foods," according to Post commander, David Street, Tick ets for adults, $1.50, and SI.OO for children under 12. A dance will follow, from 10 to 1 a.m. Tickets are $3. a couple. Tickets may be purchased at the Post hall the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce or Wheaton Rescue Squad headquarters. President's letter had been ac knowledged,” he asked. Adding: “In the course of our acknowl edgement we might bring them up to date on present school board members. After all, we’ve had a new board president since last November !” Woodward’s concern over the White House goof was met with less than sober concentration. Majority member William E. Coyle suggested that the board’s reply “might be sent to Presi dent Eisenhower,” as a gentle dig. William I. Saunders, an other majority board member ad libbed” we could mail it to the Gettysburg annex of the White House." The White House form letter, sent to school board presidents throughout the country, request ed their cooperation "in solving the grave civil rights problems faced by this Nation.” The letter referred to the school drop-out crisis, “which affects both white and Negro students.” School board members were urged to aid in solving these problems, and it was suggested that the boards "advise Commissioner Keppel of the United States Of fice of Education of your prog ress.” Marriage Licenses Cly Edward Hardin and Lola I.a verna Fain, both of Takoma Park.

Thursday, August 8, 1963 Firemen Ready With J Carnival Over 10,000 hot dogs, 1000 pounds of hamburger, 20,000 rolls and at least 200 chickens will be devoured by over 70,- 000 hungry visitors to the Rock ville Volunteer Fire Depart ment’s Carnival Aug. 5-17. A new 19-foot roller coaster has been added to the 14 other rides which include the ferris wheel, octopus, Tilt-a-whirl, loop-a-plane and the scrambler. Owners of the rides point out that seven of the carnival rides are especially designed for tots, such as the miniature fire eng ines, trains, tubs, pony-cart rides, boats, rocket ships and merry-go-round. There are many side booths for games ball throws and games of skill. Entrance fee is 20 cents and all rides are from 15 to 35 cents. Carnival hours start at 7:30 p.m. and end at midnight every evening through Aug. 17. Even though the fire depart ment is receiving financial aid from the fire tax imposed last year, profit from the carnival is necessary to implement the facilities needed to take care of this growing community, ac cording to Marbery Gates, president. “In addition,” Gates said, “the carnival will continue to serve as a feature that has taken its place as one of the city’s oustanding entertainment events of the year.” Whole House Conditioning Litchfield & Mindte lac.
