The blood is then replaced to the h sj it.il by the blood center, and the patient will not be charged for the blood used. Tile key to this situation is to notify your home chapter quickly so that the blood can be replaced before it has been charged to you Some of the hospitals which participate in this program in this vicinity are Lynchburg hospitals. Halifax hospitals, and the South si d e Community Hospital at Farmville. of the program. Everyone interested in this pro gram is invited to be present. If additional information is desired, contact County Agent E. F. Strip* ' lin. or Mr. Speir.
