The blood type file has a further advantage over the This fact that all citizens typed receive a card after the process is complete, giving the classification of his blood for his perman- ent information. The advantage in this system is this. In se that citizen should be injured in any way, and be in urgent need of an emergency blood transfusion, no wailing is necessary before the transfusion can be given—a matter of time which in many instances may mean the difference in life and death. Why? Because human blood falls into four different classifications and the injured person can only receive that particular classification of blood which fits his own. The process of laboratory typing of blcod is lengthy and means a lapse of time before between 9:3 blood bank is the the transfusion can be given, sometimes a long lapse, | because perhaps more than one or two possible dono must be tvped before the right classification is found. But with the blocod typing file now under way in the Public Health Laboratories, all this waiting can be spared. On the person of the injured man chould be his card telling what his blood classifica- tion is. In the file, perhaps ten or fifteen possible donors with the correct classification will be found available. Yet only several hundred persons in Juneau have taken advantage of the blood typing service now being offered to them free. It takes only a few mo- ments to give the sample and it doesn’t hurt.

The ap- propriations were distributed in six major fields, as| follows: Public Health—$2450,000; Medical Sciences—$2- 120,000; Natural Sciences—$1,271,000; Social Seiences— $1,227,000: Humanities—$1,020,000, and Program in | €hina—$154,000. | Of that amount, 74 percent was spent for work the United States and the remainder for work in other countries.

In 1941 the army was given almost a, million doses and the navy like amount. The Foundation now is at work to in a several million more yellow fever vaccine doses in 1942. In all cases, whether in the United States or abroad. the vaccine is furnished without charge.
