BLOOD DONORS
By permission of the principal of the Dental Clinic, arrangements were made recently in co-operation with Dr. J. O. Mercer, pathologist at the Wellington Public Hospital, and through the Wellington Blood Transfusion Service, for 40 dental nurses to visit the hospital for the purpose of donating blood. The transfusions were carried out at quarter-hour intervals, twenty in the morning and twenty during the afternoon. This is the first occasion in the history of the service when an organised group has been used in the one day. During the lunch hour on the same day the honorary secretary, Mr. C. Meachen, at the request of the de Havilland Aircraft Company of New Zealand, Ltd., addrassed a large number of employees in the canteen at the factory, and as a result 63 employees volunteered to join the1 service, and it is anticipated that a further 40 will enrol.
This practical help from employees engaged in important war work is much appreciated by the Blood Transfusion Service.
