Here are questions commonly as- ked regarding blood donations, and the. answers: Why Does the Canadian Red Cress Need Blood? • Dried serum can only be made from human blood. This serum is needed in very large quantities for the treat- ment of 'members of our armed forces as well as civilians who are war cas- ualties.

A list of suggested and after the necessary tests are made, is pooled and dried. It is the dried serum, packed and hermetically -. sealed in tins, which is sent overseas. When Did This Service Commence? The Canadian Red Cross Blood Donor Service was instituted in Jan- uary, 1940. Has An Objective Been Set Yes, because of anticipated needs the Red Cross is asking the people of Canada to provide 20,000 donations each week, Is Dried Serum as Good as a Direct Transfusion? I In many eases it is much better, No blood typing is necessary, and since it will keep•for many years it can be stored until required. Distill- ed water is all that is required to be added to the dried serum to bring it back to the equivalent of whole blood It can be used in places such as bomb- ed areas and near the front line, where it would be imposible to give a direct transfusion.
