This year we have only two. That's where our money has gone, clean- ing up old debts, patching up the hospital, getting new instruments.” Step by step, Dr. Elliott advised the meeting on the essentials in organizing a successful Monroe county blood bank. “As part of the Southeastern Florida network of blood banks, Monroe. can now send collected blood to Dade county and get a credit for it. That means when you have-a need for blood, Dade will send it down in a matter of hours if necessary by the Highway patrol. By affiliating with us you now ave blood at your disposal all thé time.” Dr. Elliott said thet the vital factor is building a donor popula- tion in Key West. Individuals and organizations must be mobilized to set up blood accounts. “Get advance deposits of blood from individuals. It is even better if whole organizations build ac- counts of blood to their credit” he declared. “Your interest on your account is the knowledge that your donation may save a life,” Dr. Elliott said. He described the progress of Dade’s blood bank. Only 2400 pints were collected in 1941. By 1951-52, 30,000 pints were collected. “For every 25 transfusions, one life is saved,” the dector said. He praised the work of J. Hutch- craft, USN Warrant officer here who mobilized the donation of 10,000 pints of blood given by servicemen in Key West. ‘That's one pint of blood given for every serviceman here,” Dr. Elliott said. “The civilians just haven't done their share. They must begin now,” We need 80,000 Pints of blood in Southeastern Florida.” The urgent need for plasma and whole blood was pointed out by the Doctor, A year ago the supply of plasma was exhausted in the United States, he said. Though the situation is better now,there is still a continuing, unfulfilled de- mand for the life-giving fluid, Dr. Smith, who is not only Presi- dent of the Florida Association of ©| Blood Banks, but vice-president of the American Association of Blood Banks stressed: “We are not better surgeons to- day, but we save more lives be- Dr. Herz said that the hospital is now ready to receive blood do- ¢elety,-American Red Cross and Key West Lions club are the lead- ing sponsors of the Monroe County Blook Bank.

So- the | Winslow Family Is Honored... DROITWICH, Eng. @—Robert Napier Winslow, Fort Lauderdale, Fia., came to this ancient salt- mining town Thursday to partici- pate in a ceremony dedicating a new street in honor of his ancestor, Edward Winslow. In 1620, Edward Winslow sailed to America on the Mayflower. pocketed the scissors and unveiled a sign reading “Winslow Avenue.” Then he made a speech praising the Mayflower passengers for help- ing to start democratic govern- ment in New ind.

Air Force officials said 3,763 pil- grims had been flown to Jidda, Saudi Arabian port 40 miles from the Moslem holy city of Mecca, since the airlift began Monday morning. The planes were barred from Mecca because the crews, in Moslem eyes, are infidels.
