BECAUSE of the world emergency, blood is recognized as a critical national resource. It is urgently needed not only on the battle front, but also for civ­ ilian use. To the man wounded in combat, blood is life itself. Every ~Korean battle casualty reaching the hospital needs an average of nine pints of blood. In civilian life, accident victims alone outnumber our war wounded and in count­ less cases someone's blood has saved a life. Thousands upon thousands of youngsters suffering from hereditary anemia or other chronic blood dis­ orders need transfusions every week or two, while civilian disasters also fre­ guently draw upon our blood resources. The supply of blood needed for our troops in Korea, and civilians on the home front is dangerously low. Through the National Blood Program, you can help prepare the nation to meet any emergency or major disaster. A pint of your blood will save someone's life-perhaps your own. We cannot relax our efforts to keep our blood banks amply supplied, if we are to meet today's and tomorrow's needs. The nearest Red Cross chapter can give full information as to the most convenient point where a donor may give blood.
