Chapter Lauded
Noble county's first blood cen
ter exceeded its quota of 125
pints of blood by 23 pints, ac
cording to Dr. C. H. Kirk of the
regional center in Pittsbuigh, Pa.,
who personally directed the
center here last Thursday at the
Methodist church.
Dr. Kirk had only high praise
for the entire local committee and
he said it was one of the best
organized that he had ever visit
ed.
Dr. Kirk also pointed out that
in a community the size of Cald
well, the blood center has been
receiving around 50 to 60 pints
of blood.
Mrs. *ohn D. Wheeler, chair
man of the blood program fori.his
county, said that 148 pints of
blood were accepted, including
11 walk-ins, or those who had
failed to sign a donor card.
There were only 17 rejections
and once again, Dr. Kirk said
that Noble county must be a very
healthy community for this was
an extremely low rate of re
jections.
The blood was taken immedi
ately to Cambridge and shipped
out the same evening at 6:38
m. by railway express to the
Pittsburgh center.
Mrs. Wheeler said that 201
donors were scheduled and of
this number, 25 didn't appear at
the blood center or call in to
cancel their appointment.
There was only one who want
ed to give blood but was too
young and did not have a signed
slip from his parents.
The blood center was in charge
of Dr. Kirk, assisted by five
nurses and two custodians from
Pittsburgh, in addition to a corp
of local volunteers.
Members of the VFW auxiliary
served the snack bar and had
charge of the canteen. The
American Legion auxiliary serv
ed the staff dinner at noon.
Mrs. Bolon Barnhouse and Mrs
Noa'man S. Reed were members
of the executive committee.
Mrs. Wheeler asked today that
if any group had donor. pledge
cards still outv they should be
returned immediately to the Red
Cross room in the courthouse.
The blood committee wishes in
this way to thank any and all
who in any way made this first
blood center in Noble county a
successful one.
