AMERICA IS STILL GROWING! There are many rea
sons for us to have confidence in our country, and not the
least of these is the remarkable record our industries
have achieved. Since 1900, our gross national product has
increased at the average rate of 3% per year, from $79
billion at the turn of the century, to $503 billion in 1960.
This gross national product will be rapidly approaching
Bhe $1 trillion mark by 1975—another good reason for
confidence it a growing America.

Stored Blood Saves Lives
(Editor’s Note: This is one
in a series of articles about
your health which will appear
regularly in The Covington
News as a public service fea
ture.)
By The Medical
Association of Georgia
The adult human body con
tains between five and six
quarts of blood. If about one
third of this blood is lost,
death usually occurs. But
transfusions have prevented
many deaths. Many persons
alive today owe their lives to
the ready availability of blood
for transfusions in a blood
bank.
Before a blood transfusion
is given, the blood of both the
recipient and the donor must
be typed and matched. There
are many blood groupings but
the most important group is
the O. A. B AB. one. A per
son’s blood falls into one of
these groups according to the
presence or absence of factors
that cause the blood cells to
clump together or agglutinate.
The factors are designated
Anti-A and Anti-B.
Persons with A factor in their
red blood cells fall into group
A; those with A factor, in
group B: those with both fac
tors. into group AB,
and those free from either
in group O. If the donor's
blood does not match the re
cipient's blood, serious reac
tions can occur. Because trans
fusions sometimes have to be
given in a great hurry, it’s a
good idea to know your blood
type. Jot the type down on a
card and carry the card with
you. This might sneed up find
ing proper blood for you in an
emergency.
Large hospitals usually keep
a supply of all types of blood
on hand. Smaller hospitas may
keep a list of “walking don
ors” —persons who may be
called upon to give blood at a
moment’s notice. Other com
munities take part in the
American Red Cross blood
program which supplies blood
as needed from a central Red
Cross blood bank. A collecting
team visits the participating
communities periodically to
collect blood from Volunteer
donors. This replenishes the
sunply in the bank.
Prosoective blood donors are
carefully screened to make

sure that giving blood won't
harm them and that they have
no diseases which can be pass
ed on to the recipients of their
blood.
The blood is collected under
sterile conditions and stored at
a carefully controlled tempera
ture. Even under these condi
tions it is considered safe for
transfusion for only 21 days
after collection. Although it
isn’t considered safe for trans
fusion after this time, the blood
can be processed into useful
components. For instance,
plasma, the fluid part of the
blood, is used in treating
shock.
In addition to the major
blood groups, there are many
groups of less importance which
may be responsible for trans
fusion difficulties. After sam
ples of the donor and reci
pient’s blood have been typed,
samples are mixed or cross
matched to further lessen the
chance of difficulties.
Typing and cross matching
involves several tedious, time
consuming tests for detecting
incomoatibilities between the
two blood samples. These in
compatibilities usuallv show
up in such testing. However,
a recipient occasionally reacts
to some undetectable substance
in the donor’s blood. The tests
mav have been properly car
ried out but. no transfusion, the
recipient proves to be allergic
or sensitive to the transfused
blood.
Many blood banks have
trouble keening enough blood

so the supply of blood won’t

Doc MAG says:
1. Blood banks store blood
under refrigeration for imme
diate use but this blood comes
only from human donors and
only prompt replacement of
blood taken from the bank by
donors can keep the supply up.
2. If you or a relative or
friend received blood from a
bank for a transfusion, try to
see that donations are made to
th® bank to make up for it.
