ADEQUATE NURSES AND CLOSED MEDICAL STAFF FOR HOSPITAL Continued from Page 1 proper operation of the hospital. For this reason, the cooperation of the community is now requested in the organization of a "walking" blood bank. This method of obtaining the proper type of blood in an emergency has proved successful in many small communities throughout the countr^, especially in the midwest, as well as in the Army. It consists of obtaining volunteers who would be willing to donate blood for the use of hospital patients. These men and women -would first have their blood type ahd RH factor determined at the hospital. This information, along with their name, address and phone number would be catalogued in the hospital laboratory. At the time blood is required 'lor an emergency patient, a volunteer donor with the same blood type and RH factor as the patient would be contacted. The donor then, would come to the hospital, the blood would be drawn, and .the patient would receive it within fifteen minutes. All community members who would be interested in becoming volunteer blood donors for the hospital should contact Robert Waiter, director of the laboratories, at McHenry 1050. x Mr. Walter will then make arrangements for them to come to the hospital laboratory for their blood type and RH factor determinations.

In fact, I believe that the networks could make a worthwhile survy of what people think by questioning TV servicemen. One of the most consistent annoyances people tell about is this one: "Ham actors turned commercial announcers who wear white surgical'robes and talk about complicated and downright silly laboratory tests for too>hp-aste, cigarettes, face powder, and what-not." Sometimes they act the part of a Doctor giving advice to a patient which is equally nauseating. The type of commercial wnich is liked best seems to be the informative ones. Women say that they like to see new recipes for food or ideas for the home; men enjoy mechanical ideas best.
