Description

Mrs. Floy Rose, nurse, holds a stainless steel needle against a whirring emery wheel. After beveling and pointing it she hands the needle to Mrs. Mildred Sellers, who slips it under a microscope to examine the point for imperfections. Needle sharpening is only one of many precautions taken to see that donating a pint of blood is a painless process. Everyday 1,500 needles, bottles and rubber tubing attachments leave the Armour laboratories for Red Cross donor centers in Fort Worth, Texas, Dallas, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, and New Orleans, Louisiana. Mrs. Rose is wearing her nurses uniform, eyeglasses and a hair-bow.
