Scope and content
Mrs. Helen Clinenpeel (second from right), in her white nurse's uniform, was happy to see these eighteen loggers when they came to the Tacoma-Pierce County Blood Bank at 728 1/2 St. Helens Avenue in July of 1947. The men, who worked for the St. Regis Paper Company at its logging operation in Mineral had come to Tacoma to donate blood to their AFL Local No. 2587, Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union blood pool. Any group or organization could create a transfusion pool at the blood bank. These blood pools guaranteed that blood would be available for organization members while at the same time providing blood for emergency transfusion services. ( All names listed in T. Times) (T.Times, 7/16/1947, p.10)
