The pint bottles of blood, which are all ticketed in groups, are stored in the cold room at the laboratories. The blood that is not used within three weeks is re- turned to the Halifax depot to be made into blood plasma, and dried for universal use. Collection 0f Blood The blood is not only distributed all over the Maritimes, but it is also collected from all points in that. area for the Central Depot at Halifax. The Mobile Bleeding Unit in- cludes a doctor, nurses, technic- ians, drivers and equipment. It is constantly on the move and coi- lects blood from voluntary donors. When on the Island last Decem- ber, the blood was flown immedi- ately to Halifax by the R..C.A.i". Search and Rescue Squads-mi. At the depot. there, it is tested and the blood group and RH factor of each individual bottle of blood is established and marked. Theblood is then distributed to the various ‘sub-depots throughout the Mari- times and thence, to the hospitals. When a patient in hospital is in need of blood, a ecimen of his or her blood Ls coil cted from the hospital by tha Red Cross vehicle. The technicians at the “rra-ns- fuslon Laboratory then determine the blood group and Rh factor of the specimen by a series of tests. First, a. sample is put through the "Centrifuge" in order to svp- arate the clot and serum, and the group test made on s. white tile. A bottle from that partiallk group is taken from storagoin the cold room, and cross-snatched with the patient! sample, using an in- cubator. This gives a double check on the group and Rh factor. Sterile administration sets are sent out to the hospitals with each bottle of blood. They contain a filter, needles and the necessary tubing, and are prepared at the central depot at Halifax. Aerols Canada . Bed Chose Blood Banks or de-v pots in Canada have been estab- lished in the following order: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax. Depots will be established in Montreal.

Some of the small manufacturers who flocked into the picture during the Will‘. 0r after. are already feeling the pinch. The furniture industry has always been particularly vul- nerable to over-expansion in boom periods since a small operator can commence production on s shoo- string in his basement o: loft.

At the moment. biggest public 111114118 interest appears in the medium-priced. modern style fur- niture lines in both hardwood and upholstered lines. with the accent on fimctionui and sectional types. Demand for upholstered furniture is reported running everi ahead of last year's record.
