SEEKS DONORS TO
BLOOD BANK HERE
Seaforth Citizen e Asked
To Co-operate With
Stratford -Group.
Seaforth life underwriters are
co-operating with life underwrit-
ers in Stratford in arranging to
have blood donors from this dis-
trict visit the blood donor clinic
being operated by the Stratford
group, Interest in the project has
been aroused in Seaforth by rea-
son of the calls made on the Strat-
ford .blood bank on behalf of Sea -
forth district patients.
Arrangements in Seaforth are in
the hands of H. E. Smith.
Outlining the arrangements now
in effect in Stratford, a spokesman
for the group there said: "The
bank was designed primarily to
meet the requirements of the citi-
zens of Stratford. However, on a
number of occasions out-of-town
hospitals have requested blood and
it has been given without hesita-
tion. We do, however, feel that
since this blood is going out of
town that it would be a fine ges-
tureon the part of the people of
these outlying centres to make
some contribution to the bank."
"Stratford life underwriters un-
dertook the job of providing don-
ors to the hospital at the begin-
ning of this year. We .endeavour
to secure the blood types of var-
ious individuals by having a mobile
clinic visit various industries to
take blood samples. From these
results we have built up a master
•file of various blood types. There
are four different blood groupings,
each grouping having an RH fac-
tor, that is either positive or nega-
tive, so actually there are eight
different types of blood.
"Every Thursday night we have
our regular donor night at the hos-
pital. These donors are selected
from the master file, and we en-
deavour to keep the panel proper-
ly balanced by selecting these
names at a minimum of three
months. The blood is given en-
tirely voluntarily by donors. The
Pathology staff give their services
in returning to the hospital on
Thursday night and also, of course,
the life underwriters."
Citizens of Seaforth and district
who are interested in co-operating
by attending at the Stratford Gen-
eral Hospital at 7:30 p.m., August
10, are asked to contact Mr. H. E.
Smith, Seaforth. It is hoped that
at least two carloads of donors
from Seaforth will respond.
Farming throllf41.0.a txlis440tct
has come -to a completPel4thaiditill,, ••
as torrential rains have turuedi
harvest fielde into mires. The •
rain, wb,icdi .cornX4exicted. SUadar r
evening, • has eenthmed steadily, -
with interruptions of but a few
hours each day. ACeording to tlis-
trict farmers, they will face
heavy loss if harvest delayed
much longer.
While during the week this area,
has had . several downpours of an
intensity that flooded roads and
fields, the district escaped the
heaviest storms. Brief hydro in-
terruptons resulted during the
week when high-tension lines were
affected by the storms.
Tuesday afternoon, following an
hour-long rain, several streets in
town were under water when
catchhasins failed • to handle the
volume. Silver Creek, flowing
through the Lions Park, over-
ran its banks and the front of the -
park was under a foot of water
for a short time. By early eve-
ning the flood condition had clear-
ed.
The storm has flattened many
acres of grain on district farms.
Wheat cut the end of last week
is lying in the fields, as farmers
await a 'break in the weather.
Indications on Thursday were
that a change in the weather could
be anticipated by Friday.
