This mobile clinic which works out of th-e"London Tran- sfusion Centre brought a staff of 12 to Goderich which in- cluded- two registered nurses. The demand- for blood is great as this centre has a list of 30 hospitals which they must sup- ply. The area of coverage is very large as they travel from Windsor to Stratford one way and from Kincardine to Simcoe another way. This clinic visits Goderich twice a year, once in May- and once in November. Mrs. Auleen Curry local co-ordinator for the clinic worked in 'conjunction with the Kinsmen Club of Goderich to put on this clinic. The unit usually has at least one clinic per day but there have been times when they have' had to conduct two and even three in one day. During the whole -day about 20 volun- teers from .Goderich assisted in doing things such as making 'coffee and looking after people who have given blood. The accumulation of a large blood supply is even more im- portant now than in the past because of the operation of the newly constructed ultra- modern .University Hospital in London. Alma Wallace, co-ordinator for the London area recalls that .the first order for blood from the University Hospital was for only eight pints and now they are using between 250 and 300 pints per month. This means that approximately :3,000 new donors must be found this year to supply this one -hospital alone. Because University Hospital is largely a referral institution to which many area doctors send patients for special testing and care, Mrs. Wallace feels that each municipality has a thV" R.R. 5, GODERICH, ONT.

According to Mrs. Wallace, she has been very impressed with the excellent response to the clinic by students. She stated, "We couldn't meet our quota anywhere, anytime of the year if it wasn't for the students." "However, the Graduates amount of students giving blood has dropped slightly in the past two years because of the age change in females." It used to be that a female could give blood at the age of 17 if she had written consent from her parents but it has now been changed to 18 because medical experts felt that it may be a, risk to the girl to take blood before this. Several girls just 17 years of age were turned down during this clinic, but it is hoped by Mrs. Wallace that, they don't lose interest in donating because -in the future, their donations will be needed even more.
