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

alone, we supply 100 pints a
week to Montgomery General,
Suburban, Washington Sani
tarium, Holy Cross, NIH and
Bethesda Naval Hospital,” she
said.
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. Out

of this plasma, pharmaceutical
companies manufacture serum
albumin, used in emergency
treatment of shock. 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.

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.”

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.”
