Red Cross
‘sends call
for donors

LEN LIFCHUS, director of blood
donor recruitment, for. the Red
Cross, is asking people to give
thanks for. their. health this
Thanksgiving by giving the gift of
life, a blood donation.

_ We have a serious shortfall in
our blood collections,” said Lif-
chus, :

Lifchus said that only 35% of
the Canadian population is actu-
‘ally healthy enough to qualify to
give blood. However, only 4.5%
.of Canadians are regular blood
' donors. ;

' To-be a blood donor you must
be in good health and between the
ages.of 17 and 71. Donors over 66
years. of age must have given
blood within the last two years.

You should also not be on any
medication; however, there are a
few exceptions. It is advisabie for

-donors-to have a substantial meal

_ within four hours of coming to
the clinic and to allow an hour for
the donation process.

- ~ Donors are asked to bring their
blood donor card. First time
donors need to provide identifica-
tion.

The average person has between
4,500 and 5,400 mL (10 to 12
pints) of blood in his or her body.
The Red Cross needs only 450 mL
(one pint), which is quickly
replaced by the body with no ill
effects.

The permanent centre for
donating blood on the North
Shore is located at 4750 Oak St.,
North Vancouver. Its hours of
operation are Monday to Thurs-
day, noon to 7:30 pm.; and Fri-
days, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Also, in’ October, three day-
clinics will be operated at the fol-
lowing locations: Monday Oct. 18
