Chairman Bonenfant stated, \Not everyone has the same 'type* of blood. The ability of the Red Cross to provide the blood types or groups needed by patients is dependent upon donors of all blood groups giv- ing reqularly. \The statistics that reflect the distribution of blood groups in the Northeastern New York Region Blood Services, encompassing this area, show that the most common blood types are O positive and A posi- tive, followed by B positive, O negative, A negative, AB posi- tive, B negative and AB negative.\ She added, \The unit or pint of blood which you donate is replaced quickly within a 24- hour period. The entire proce- dure requires only about an hour. Your blood undergoes rigid laboratory testing to determine A, B, O and Rh type, along with tests for hepatitis and the presence of rare antib- odies\. Every time you give blood it is tested.\ Prospective donors are urged to call for an appoint- ment. This may be done by contactingJanice Fullum, 358-9574.
