SEWARD HOSPITALS HAVE
SUCCESSFUL BLOOD BANK
Residents of the Seward area
have made a most helpful con
tribution to the treatment of the
sick in the hospitals of the com
munity, according to a report
from Seward Sanatorium today.
In the 12 months just past,
156 pints of blood have been
given. This means that 156 peo
ple have stopped what they
were doing and gone to one of
the hospitals to give blood for
some patient as a life saving
aid or to insure the success of
surgical treatment.
Last winter the entire crew
of the Bear Lake Lumber Mill
either gave blood or were typed
as future donors. Because of
this willingness on the part of
donors to be available to help,
lives of patients are often saved.
Last fall, a patient developed
a severe hemorrage of the sto
mach along with his pulmonarv
tuberculosis. A pint of blood
from a Seward donor saved his
life. Today he is at home with
his family, tuberculosis arrested
and stomach ulcer cured.
The life of a patient was sav

Hospital by a few pints of blood
readily available.
In a few instances the blood
has become outdated and has
been used for plasma collection
or for culture media for labora
tory diagnostic tests. None is
ever entirely lost. One of the
advantages of the walking blood
bank is that the donors are im
mediately available, which
makes it unnecessary to store
large amounts for a ready sup
ply.
People from all walks of life
donate blood here. A school
teacher from Homer stopped in
one day to donate a pint. The
local ministers, nurses, business
women, 1 a b o r e rs, clerks and
housewives have all given graci
ously when called. The recent
typing program for Civil Defense
resulted in many more donors.
Being on the donor list means
that one is willing to help any
sick or injured person in the
community, or who enters either
hospital. When called for a do
nation transportation is paid to
and from the Sanatorium from
a fund maintained by the Wo
men's Division of Christian Serv
ice of the Methodist Church.
The donation may be for a Sana
torium patient or for someone
in need of blood at Seward Gen
eral Hospital. The donor is priv
ileged to know who is to get
his blood. Doctors and nurses
will give this information at the
time the blood is drawn. Such
information is most gratifying
to a donor, it lends a personal
touch to a gift that is lacking
in many types of contributions
to social welfare.
Most of the shadows that cross
our path on the journey through
life are caused by our standing in
our own light.

MORE TESTS FOR A BOMB
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
United States is planning more
tests of the Atomic Bomb, chair
man Gordon Dean of the Atomic
Energy Commission said today.
Dean declined to tell a news
conference, however, whether
the tests would be at already
announced proving grounds or
at some other place. There has
been speculation that a new
proving ground may be estab
lished in the Aleutian Islands
off Alaska.
In saying that the United
States is planning further tests
of its own Atomic weapons, Dean
said “we are not quite ready to
give you the test sites and dates.”
Dean said the Commission at
one time or another bad tnought
of amplifying that statement.
Asked why the same proving
grounds cannot be used over
and over again. Dean said that
one of the reasons was the
“heavy logistics” involved in
faraway tests such as those at
Eniwetok.
He added: "It depends on what
you want to test.”
