Center makes urgent call for blood

The Indiana Blood Center has put out an urgent request for blood donations. Supplies are so low that an especially tragic traffic accident could strain capabilities of caregivers, said spokeswoman Shannon Jordan. Type O and negative blood types are in particularly short supply. Donations can be scheduled through 4 p.m. Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, at donorpoint.org. Or donors can call 916-5150.
