MARCH 26.1986 WHITBY FREE PRESS Blood clinic ou April8t Spring is in the air and once again the Whitby branch of the Red Cross is gearing up for their annual spring blood donor clinic to be held Tuesday, April 8 at the Whitby Legion Hall. Clinic organizers are hoping. to draw their largest donor attendan- ce ever for this vital, life saving service and their target is 375 units of blood. Last April, ac- cording to blood donor chairman Margaret Horton, the clinic hit an aIl time high for collec- tions rounding up a total of 433 units. With a littie luck, and the par- ticipation of the people of Whitby, the clinic mlght just be able to pull off a repeat per- formance. Mrs. Horton stressed that blood cannot be produced synthetically and the Red Cross' Toronto blood processlng centre relies almost entirely on sup- plies from local cilnis such as Whitbys. In aIl, the processing centre requires 85 units daily in order to supply 67 hospitals in south- central Ontario in- cluding J.O. Ruddy Hospital.
