BLOOD IS LIFE One of the major factors contribu- ting to the causes of death in the Do- minion is the lack of adequate trans- fusion facilities in our hospitals to cope with accidents and other illnesses. To meet the needs of Canadian hos- pitals, the Red Cross is establishing, as part of its peacetime programme, a completely free Blood Transfusion Ser- vice. This new atcivity will eventually make it possible for every hospital in Canada, and the patients they serve, to obtain a constant supply of whole blood and plasma free of charge. Those who remember the part play- ed by blood plasma'and blood products in saving lives during the war will re- alize the importance of this peace time service. Every day there are instances of civilians, mothers in childbirth, vic- tims of fire and those suffering through accident, illness and disease, needing blood to save their lives. The major- ity of Canadian hospitals find difficul- ty in providing sufficient blood to meet emergenices. This is an important Red Cross ser- vice and a costly one with results mea- sured in terms of lives saved, .More than one fifth of the $5,000,000 builget required by the Society in 1947 will be used to ensure the availability of life- saving whole blood and plasma through our hospitals to all Canadians from coast to coast. Your support is needed NOW is Wingham district is to reach its ob- jective of $3000.00. According to re- turns so far tabulated slightly over $1100.00 has been received.
