Bloodmobile
Coming On
November 24
The regional bloodmobile, ope
rated by the American Red Cross,
will visit Jackson on Monday, No
vember 24th, with a quota of 112
pints urgently needed.
John B. Long, blood recruit
ment chairman, said this week
that the 112 pint quota is the
figure normally accepted by the
county and that it is incumbent
upon local citizens to see that
the quota is met or exceeded. Mr.
Long said that this is the second
visit of the bloodmobile of the
year and that if the quota is not
reached Butts County will be
placed on probation. If at the
third visit of the bloodmobile the
quota is not reached, Butts Coun
ty will automatically be placed
on the credit card system, Mr.
Long pointed out. Under the
credit card system donors and
their immediate families will be
covered while others needing
blood would have to purchase it
at prevailing prices, Chairman
Long explained. Under the pres
ent set up those persons needing
whole blood can obtain it free
of charge since the county is an
active participant and in good
standing on the blood program.
Chairman Long adds that the
bloodmobile will again set up for
business at the National Guard
Armory on Franklin Street be
tween the hours of 1 and 6 p. m.
Volunteer workers, headed by the
Jackson Business and Profession
al Women’s Club, will staff the
visit.
Mr. Long said “I feel that we
can pass the quota once the peo
ple of the county realize the im
portance of the blood program
to all citizens. With the schools
in session I anticipate a good re
sponse from young donors, many
of whom will be giving for the
first time. I have the utmost faith
that citizens of the county will
not allow the program locally to
be placed on probation or at a
later date see the establishment
of a credit card system through
apathy and indifference.”
