* Page! 4 The Haileyburian Thursday, August 27, 1959 Red Cross Mobile Clinic Accepts Blood Donations District towns received a visit from the Red Cross Mobile Blood Donor Clinic, and reports receiv- ed so far indicate that the re- sponse was a heartening one. Clinics were held in Cobalt; Elk Lake, Haileybury, New Lis- keard, Englehart, and the visit of the clinic will be repeated in about six months time, when those who have already donated may do so again, and those who have not will be given another chance to assist with the impor- tant work of providing blood to local and provincial hospitals. In New Liskeard the response was not as great as anticipated, but the 185 who did register for a donation of blood represented close to two thirds of the objec- tive. Persons concerned with ar- rangements were satisfied with the results and were confident that when the mobile unite re- turns, many more will be on hand, including the 70 who experssed their willingness to donate, but failed to turn up on the big day. New Liskeard's battle to have an adequate blood bank has been won after five years of disap- pointement and frustration, and many of those who have been interested in the progress of the initial attempts declare that Eric Campsall must be given full marks for organization and work that has reached the modest suc- cess now reached. It was over five years ago that Mr. Campsall found himself in the unsought role of "procurer of donors,' and kept a_ record of those who were willing to help when blood was needed. He felt however, that having to send six persons to Haileybury to locate two donors was a waste- ful method, and enlisted ithe help of Dr. Fraser Farlinger to devel- op a more effecient arrangement. A good start was finally made when hospital lab technician Miss Billie Ellis volunteered to work two nights a week typing blood for the organizing of a walking blood bank. Volunteers for this service were enlisted from the service clubs and fire department and private citizens, and in a final drive 175 End of the Day Shown above is the Dalewood Transport truck which vehicle out of control and ran out of control tearin Underwood's corner, just south of Cobalt. overturned when its load of 19 tons of newsprint shifted throwing th g out several guard rails. The accident occurred _at approximately 1 Nets a persons were typed. At this point, the Canadian Re Cross stepped in, charged by the Ontario Government with the task of supplying Free* Blood Donations to all Ontario hospitals. In town exploring the possibil- ities of bringing the mobile clinic to New Liskeard, they were di- rected to Mr. Campsall, and found the help they needed. Mr. Campsall was assisted by Harold McAllister and Paul Wynn, all members of the New Liskeard Lions Club in the in- itial stages, but the chairman re- fuses to take even a small por- tion of credit for the ultimate success of the drive. "In giving the clinic a boost in a recent edition of your paper," he remarked, "you failed to give the Registered Nurses Associa- tion credit for the work its mem-= bers have .done, and this is a |serious ommision." "These women took hold of the work from the start,' he Said, "phoned ~ prospects, did clerical work, assisted the lab~ technician, and in this final drive assisted with the actual work of taking blood from 'the donors." "Tf they hadn't worked so hard, and so efficiently, I'm afraid New Liskeard would have no blood bank,' declared Mr. Camp- sall. Mr. Campsall also praised the work of the local Rebekah Lodge, who had members on hand ail during "Donors Day', doing the catering, and feeding the donors. In a quick summary of the ben- efits of the clinic to donors and residents, Mr. Campsall _ said, "Your donation may save a life' the blood you donate is free to all.' "You will receive a type card which will speed the selection of a donor when speed is necessary, and it could be in- valuable if you happen to be-in an accident, where a transfusion becomes necessary;" "mass typ- ing would be invaluable in the event of a major catastrophe."
