Kaiser shipyard workers are making large contributions to Red Cross blood banks - particularly since the Red Cross is providing free transportation.
Ken Moyer, head of the Bond department at Oregon Ship, says 300 O.S.C. workers have been taken to the Portland bank by the Red Cross. Bus service is provided on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for the day shift and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings for the graveyard shift. Arrangements may be made by calling Moyer at Ext. 327 in the yard.

  Swan Island workers may make arrangements for free transportation by calling the Red Cross at AT 8561.
  Vancouver off shift workers are taken to the Vancouver bank in groups of eight or more. Trips are arranged by telephoning Vancouver 608, and are made between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Wednesdays only.
  Below is a pictorial story of a graveyard crew on a visit to the Vancouver bank.

CHILD CENTERS
TO CARE FOR
OLDER CHILDREN
  Six and seven-year-old children of Portland Kaiser workers will be accepted by the Oregon Ship and Swan Island Child Service centers during, summer vacacation months, J. L. Hymes Jr., director of the two centers, announced this week.
  Charge for enrollment of these children will be the same as for others, Hymes said. A separate play group. to be supervised by expert teachers, will be set up for them.
  Employes wishing to enter such youngsters are asked to make application now to the centers.
  "Enrollment in the centers is growing so fast that capacity may be reached some time during the summer," Hymes warned.
  Telephone number of the Oregon Ship center is UNiversity 3667 and for Swan Island's is WEbster 3251.

9:10 a.m Donors are met by receptionists at the Vancouver Blood bank who check names with appointment list. They remove all coats and sweaters and roll up sleeves. Vancouver workers shown are, left to right; Earl Kolb, W. Hudson, J. Fisher, Lucille Bussiere, Opal Banks, Frank Tastovorsnik, R. Carney and B. Best.

9:15 a.m. Blood contributors next report to registrars and give names, occupations, resididence, ages and other pertinent information. Pictured with staff assistants at the plasma bank are Carney, Best and Tastovorsnik.

9:20 a.m. Medical history is taken at the next station. Donors disclose recent health condition, past physical fitness and data on communicable diseases. Here the blood count also is taken and a check of temperature started.

9:30 a.m. Blood pressure is obtained by nurses in preparation for donating plasma. At the same time the pulse is counted and the temperature recorded. Left to right are Tastovorsnik, Mrs. Anthony Cusic, nurse; Mrs. Thornton Ladd, nurse, and Carney.

9:32 a.m. At the desk of the Medical Secretary the large card of Donor Ivan Edwards, Marine Engineer trial run, is taken by Mrs. Arthur L. Rogers. She divides the card and assigns the laboratory number which will accompany the blood.

9:35 a.m. The donor now is placed on the bleeding cot where the donation actually is made. Mrs. M. Hall, Red Cross nurse, and Mrs. A. K. Carlisle, nurse's aide, chat with W. Hudson as the blood, vitally needed for wounded fighting men, is taken. This requires about 10 minutes.

9:55 a.m. The group gets together for doughnuts and coffee in the canteen before being taken back to their jobs. All donors are instructed to drink plenty of liquids for two or three days. The blood contribution requires only about 45 minutes. (Vancouver photos.)

9:45 a.m. The blood donor now is placed on a rest cot for ten minutes before going into the canteen. Frank Tastovorsnik reads a magazine while taking it easy. Extreme care is taken to see that the contributor rests sufficient time before leaving bank.

  Gwen Dew, internationally famous war correspondent, who started out with a typewriter and $60 to see the world and wound up in a Jap prison camp with 3500 other American, British and Dutch citizens after the fall of Hong Kong, addressed workers at Oregon Ship. Vancouver and Swan Island yard shows this week.
  Miss Dew described the horrors of Jap prisons and atrocities which she witnessed during her months of incarceration.
  "It is hard for you folks here at home who have never heard the drone of enemy planes to realize what terrible things are happening in other parts of the world," she declared. "So much depends on you. These ships you are building are so important. Supplies must be gotten to all fronts rapidly if we are to achieve victory."
  Miss Dew urged shipyard workers to put every cent they eau spare into war bonds. She is appearing in Portland with the Four Freedoms War Bond show.
