Texas Town Starts Blood Bank
With Help Of Local Job Corps
At a time when most
communities are ex-
periencing severe blood
shortages, the city of
McKinney, a town of ap-
proximately 16,000
located near Dallas, has
established a community
blood bank. Blood banks
are created when more
blood is available to a
community than is need-
ed.
Local officials credit
participation by the
McKinney Job Corps
Center as a major factor
in the establishment of
the blood bank, which is a
first for the City of
McKinney.
The McKinney Job
Corps Center, a federally
funded job training pro-
gram, initiated its
quarterly blood drive in
September of 1981. Since
that time, over 1070 pints
of blood have been
donated by students and
staff.
Participation in the
blood drive is strictly
voluntary with all blood
collected donated to the
community blood bank.
Describing student
participation in the blood
drive program as "better
than even we had hoped
for," John Crosby, direc-
tor of the McKinney
Center, stated. "We feel
this is one of the best
ways we can show our ap-
preciation for the support
McKinney has given our
center.”
Job Corps is a program
designed to train young
men and women in skills
which will enable them to
obtain a job with a future.
The McKinney Center
has trained and placed
over 14,000 students since
its opening in March of
1967
Young men and
women, ages 16 through
21, from El Campo who
are interested in signing
up for Job Corps may ob-
tain more information by
contacting their local
Texas Employment Com-
mission Office.

January Named National Blood Donor Month
January is "National
Blood Donor Month," and
the South Texas Regional
Blood Bank will be
celebrating it by
recognizing outstanding
donor groups and
businesses throughout
South Texas.
Every January, blood
banks across the country
remind blood donors of
their importance to
patients. In South Texas
alone, 250 volunteer blood
donors are needed
every day to meet the
needs oi the 54 hospitals
the blood bank serves
Those volunteers mean
life to patients suffering
from cancer, leukemia,
aplastic anemia, those
needing open heart
surgery and for victims
of injury and violent
crimes.
One local volunteer
who has been recognized
for efforts in organizing
blood drives for El
Campo Memorial
Hospital is Kitty Simank,
a member of the Sun
shine Ladies. She was
recently presented a
framed certificate of
appreciation from the
South Texas Regional
Blood Bank by Ginnie
Bellew of Victoria, donor
recruitment consultant.
According to Bellew,
670 units of blood were
Caperton
Appointed
To Four
Committees
Senator Kent A. Caper
ton, D-Bryan/College
Station, announced
Wednesday that he has
been appointed to four
major committees for the
new 68th Legislature.
Caperton will serve on
the Finance, State Af
fairs and Jurisprudence
Committees, as well as
chair the Subcommittee
on Civil Matters.
Caperton said that he
was "very proud” that
Lt. Governor William P.
Hobby, who made the
committee assignments,
"has the faith and con
fidence in me to appoint
me to these powerful
committees."
Caperton said his posi-
tion on the three commit-
tees would "contribute
greatly to my ability to
represent the 5th
District. These commit-
tees will take a major
role in examining all the
budget requests and lead
to the effort to finance the
needed programs while
trying to avoid a tax in-
crease
delivered to ECMH in
1982 and only 425 units
were collected. She ex-
pressed the desire to
close this gap so that El
Campo will support its
own hospital.
The theme for 1983, as
developed by the
American Association of
Blood Banks (AABB), is
"Every Tomorrow Needs
Blood Donors Today.” It
stresses the fact that
blood has to be available
when patients need it,
because many of them
don’t have time to wait
for someone to share
blood.
Any healthy person is
able to donate blood
every eight weeks, and
there are some people
who do. Unfortunately,
there are not enough
regular blood donors.
According to the South
Texas Regional Blood
Bank, if every healthy
person in South Texas
donated blood at least
twice a year, all blood
needs would be met and
there would be less
likelihood of blood
shortages.
Blood shortages occur
most often during the
summer, around the
Christmas holidays and
into January, when blood
donations drop
dramatically because
fewer people donate The
blood reserve can reach
the critical limit in
January because many
surgical operations qre
scheduled, including
open heart surgery which
requires several units of
blood
As South Texas con
tinues to grow at a fast
pace, our blood needs will
grow and the blood bank
must be prepared to meet
those requirements.
One of the miscon-
ceptions the blood bank
deals with is that many
people think that if they
have the most common
blood type. Type O, they
are not in demand as
blood donors. The fact is
Type O donors are in
demand for that very
reason because the
majority of people have
Type O blood, the
majority of patients need
it. According to the South
Texas Regional Blood
Bank, the rarest blood
type is the one that is not
available when someone
needs it.
National Blood Donor
Month is designed to
thank donors on behalf of
the patients they have
helped to save through
blood donations. It is also
to let others know that
being a blood donor is a
rewarding experience, a
personal way to con-
tribute to the community
and one that makes a
difference.
K. J. T. Society Elects New Officers
K.J.T. Society No. 84
held its first monthly
meeting for 1983 on Sun-
day in the St. Philip’s

The meeting was called
to order by president

reports were given by the
officers and committee
chairmen.
The Society agreed to

niversary later this year.

mative stage.

ed. This included such
items as the District
Fishing Contest and the
K.J.T. Summer Camp.
A special guest for this
meeting was the
Honorary State Vice
President, Jerry F. Sliva
of Wallis. He gave the
members a brief accoun-
ting of the history and
past activities of the
K.J.T.
Sliva has been actively
involved in the K.J.T. at
the local, district and
state levels for many
years. He is also the
father of James Sliva, the
newly-elected president
of the local Society.
Drawings for door
prizes were held. The
winners were Joe Orsak,
in the adult division and
Philip Leopold and
Timothy Sliva in the
junior division. The
meeting was then ad-
journed. Refreshments
were served after the
meeting.

year 1983 are as follows:
James Sliva, president;
