  • Blitz for Blood Held in City
    Blitz For Blood Held In City By Joyce Henderson As a national project, the Association of Kinsmen Clubs across Canada offered assistance to the Red Cross and other blood bank services, by carrying out a Blood Drive Program from February 19th to 28th, 1973. The local Kinsmen Club (chartered on April 7, 1946), had previously assisted the Red Cross in their annual Blood Drives in Flin Flon. This year (1973), the Kinsmen decided to make the needs and values of the Flin Flon Blood Donor Service better known to the public. They also wished to convince at least 200 more people to add their names to the 400 donors listed. The Blood Donor Service consisted of citizens whose concern was the well-being of others. Considering that there were eight major blood types, and that donor could give blood only once every ninety days, it was necessary to have a list of a few hundred names. In the event of an emergency, ten or more units of blood might be used in a twenty-four hour period, the 400 donors could not continue without more participation from the community. In 1973, there were 400 donors on the list who had donated blood over 25 times, and a large number of them over forty times. Of the 400 donors, 380 were men and two-thirds were employed `by HBMS. Over the thirty-one years volunteers of the Flin Flon Blood Donors Service had given 14,650 units of blood, an average of 470 pints a year. The Blood Donor Service started in Flin Flon in February 1942, under the direction of Dr.
