FIVE SPECIAL THANK YOU’S

The success of the April 19-20 visit
of the Red Cross Bloodmobile was due
in a large measure to the employees of
Adams-Millis Corporation. For our 97
solicited donors, our thanks must go to
our Gray Ladies who, with tireless ef-
f ort, contacted each employee and re
quested that he give a pint of blood, if
possible. Working in our English Street
plants were Edith Love, Ethel Fitts and
Margye Martin, all of Plant #2; while
working in our Grimes Street plant were
Inez Cannon and Carrie Jones, of Plant
#1.
The program of volunteer service
performed by our Gray Ladies is a very
extensive one; their duties are many and
varied. High Point can boast of 125
1-adies in number, and the local program
has been suited to our own community
ueeds. In the hospital, the Ladies serve
as receptionists, surgical escorts, and
are always ready to lend a helping hand.
They work at the Bloodmobile on its
periodic visits to our city. They visit
shut-ins. And they visit and work with
the veterans at the V. A. Hospital in
Salisbury. These are their regular
duties. In addition, they are always
happy to help with any special project.
Recently, they have been called on to
staff one of the North Carolina Health
Department's mobile X -ray units, and
l ast fall to help with the polio innocula-
tion program in the city schools.
How are they renumerated for their
services? Materially, by one bar on
their sleeve for each year of service
(75 hours, or more) and one chevron
for every four years of service. How
ever, there is no measure for the inner
satisfaction gained from this wonderful
program of service so faithfully and
selflessly carried out.
