Blood /Program Let Down Worries Authorities

A general let down in the blood program has been noted in Adams county recently, worrying medical, hospital and program authorities in this area. About 127 pints of blood are necessary six times a year in the county area to keep the local blood supply up to normal. This blood is only good for about 21 days as whole blood. If not used by then it is infractionated, or broken down, into haemoglobin, gammaglobin, plasma, and other blood derivatives and stored. However, the buildup in use of blood has kept the fresh blood supply exhausted, and the stockpile of blood derivatives has also suffered. More than 107 pints of blood have been used by Adams county people since January 1, one person alone using 27 pints of blood. This blood is given free of charge to the patient — the patient paying only for the servicing charges in the hospital. Because Adams county is a participating county, any county resident can obtain

I blood anywhere in the U.S. under this program, if it is ever needed. The next blood program here will be June 12, with the bloodmobile located at the Decatur youth and community cented. Volunteers, working under Mrs. Ed Bauer, chairman of the program, will start telephoning for donors May 27. A committee of ladles will spend 100 hours just setting up 170 appointments and 22 standby? for the day’s program. This is necessary ’to get 127 pints of blood. Volunteers for this program, who would like to help on the phone committee, on the canteen committee the day of the program, or those who would like to donate, are asked to contact Mrs. Bauer, or the local Red Cross office. The blood program in Decatur Started six years ago during the Korean war. Mrs. Stewart McMillen was the first chairman of the program. Since 1954, when records were first kept locally, 2,324 pints of blood have been donated from this

county. However, recently, despite the increase in the use of blood, fewer people have donated. < All types of blood are used. O and O positive are most in demand, but others are needed,& if not used within 21 days, are reduced to blood derivatives, so that none is wasted. Fort Wayne has the regional blood office for this district, one of 19 centers in the northeastern section of the U.S. Twenty-four Indiana counties, and many counties and cities from Michigan and Ohio, Also work out of the Fort Wayne center. , ><t i« /t Three or four local people are already working on their fourth gallon. Many' persons who have benefited in the past by the ready supply of blood have become donors themselves. Turkey Rivals ST. PAUL, Minn. - (W - Minnesota turkey producers expect to narrow the gap by which they trail California as the nation's leading producer of the big birds this year. They hope to raise 11,371,000 turkeys compared with 9,560,000 in 1956. California producers expect to raise 13,548.00 this year compared with 12,643,000.

Expert Gives Tips For Job Hunters More Room At Top Thon The Bottom CHICAGO (UP) - If’you’re job hunting, remember that there’s more room at the top than the bottom. At least that’s the theory of job counselor Richard Gleason, who says mo?t job applicants underrate themselves. Gleason, who heads his own firm, specializes in finding, jobs for executives and management people in the SB,OOO to $30,000 a year bracket. But he’s gone as high as $90,000. Right now, he said, there’s a shortage of executive talent in this country. "World War II and the Korean War interrupted the careers and the training of many promising young men,” Gleason said. “So industry has had to rely on older men in executive posts.” Actually, he said, age seldom is a deterrent to a knowing job seeker, “but it almost always is the excuse an employer gives tor not hiring.”

"The reason usually is the fact that the applicant hasn’t sold his prospective employer on the advantages he can bring to a job," Gleason said. He offered these tips to jobhunters: ' * —Don’t change jobs unless you’re assured of at least a 25 per cent pay increase. —Don't switch jobs for more money unless the new job has a sound future. —Get at least five possible jobs to pick from before you jump. Gleason, who has helped thouthe last thing to discuss in a job the last ting to discuss in* a job interview is salary. Many applicants, he said, fear that if they ask for too much they’ll lose. out. “But it’s often as bad to ask for too little,” he said. “An employer values an applicant much as he values himself.” Most persons don’t realize their own potentials, don’t’ realize how much experience they have to offer and don’t know how to sell themselves, Gleason said. “Even sales managers, who know all about selling a product, don’t know how to put their best foot forward when they’re looking for a better job,” he said. Gleason said job hunting should proceed along these lines: —Pick the job you want.

PAGE ONE-A

—Analyze the Job’s requirements. . —Consider how you meet those requirements. —Prove it in good promotional letters. "Remember,” be said, “a prospective employer wants to know what you can do for him, and he wants proof based on your experience.” Trade in a good town — Decatar
