Blood mobile Visit Is
Call For Murphy Help
A clear, definite eaU far the eltineu of Murphy to help oar
indad servteeawn, to help themselves and te help ta one of
at worthwhile hattles has been made by the Bed Craaa
The call for aaatrtaaet asks that we five blood when
rrlvus here tamumiu at the First Baptist Church.
As far as the pain and Inceavtences are concerned there.is no
reason why every person la Murphy should not heed the call. There
la a boo lately no pain connected with the process. The only trouble
the donor Is sabjeeted to Is the wafting of his hand while the blood
Is beta* extracted.
In the convenience department, It really takes little time to
live the blood and almost everyone In the town can afford to take
off the few minutes required for the process.
A person who will not help himself is hardly worth the help
received from others. Bnt that is the case of those who do not five
blood. Part of the blood will be aaed to fill needs right here in Mur
phy while other pints will he wad to fight polio a disease that can
strike any of as here daring the polio season. When we give blood
for the fight against polio we are giving blood for our own security.
The last reason?and a reason that should bring out enough
persons to flood the Red Cram mobile unit?Is the fact that a
great deal of the blood Is collected to be sent overseas to save
Uvea of wounded servicemen. Today there are Murphy boys fight
ing in Korea and at this very moment might be needing a blood
Beeanse of the Bloodmobile sent out by the Red Cross, that
wounded Murphy boy will get the blood he needs.
Bat, one of these days if we don't keep up our end of the
fight and continue to give ear blood, the fluid so precious to
those fighting men may be lacking.
Go to the Bloodmobile tomorrow and really give something
for oar servicemen, for polio and for yourself?give something
that shows yon care?give a pint of your blood. The gift only
yon can give.

AIRPORT
NOTES
By BOB H BATON
(Editor1* note: This is the first
of a aeries of bi-weekly articles
concern tog your local airport?the
Andreses-Murphy Airport. The
"Notes" .wlH cover the field's per
sonnel, its facilities and its opera
tions )
/The Andrews! Murphy Airport
is one and a half miles west of
Andrews and 13 and a half miles
east of Murphy in a spacious set
ting in the beautiful Konnaheeta
Valley. Altitude of the port is 1,
690 feet.
Conceived and buHt in 1946 by
d. A. Wood Sr., the airport is at
present managed by E. A. Wood
Jr.
Charter flights, student in
structions, service and repairs
are offered at the field. The
port Is the only field west of
Ashevllle capable of handling
both single and twin-engine
planes on a year-round basis.
There are at present 10 airplanes
based at the field. Six are privately
Twned; the others belong to the
management.
Four of the privately-owned
planes are used principally for
business, emphasizing the increas
ing important role aircraft Is play
ing in our economy. Three of the
ships are owned by contractors and
engineers.
A Piper Super cruiser is own
ed by Herman M. West Construc
tion Co. of Murphy, a Luscombe
Silvaire, was recently acquired
by the Tom R. Hay Engineering
Co. of Andrews and a Cessna 179
was just delivered for the J. H.
Shuler Construction Co. of Rob
blnsville.
The fourth business flown plane
at ;?he port is a Piper Cub owned
by Harold Hatchett of Murphy, an
wtlltal breeding technician with
'he Murphy Milkshed.
C. H. Townsend of Marble uses
his Monocoupe 90 mainly for
pleasure as does Dave McOlure of
^eachtree, whose Aeronca Tandem
is the veteran of the group.
4 visiting plane, another Ces
sna 170, has been at the field
for several days. One of several
owned by Champion Fibre and
Paper Co. of Canton, N. C? this
ship Is used to transport timer
cruisers.
But tt is aviation in action that
this column will be mainly con
cerned with. Which brings to mind
that Tom R. Hay took off Sunday
for Oklahoma, where his company
is 'presently engaged.
The average North Carolina cow I
produces only 4,450 pounds of milk |

OEODY love* a "teacher's

one; lust as no father or mother
should have a "pet" child. We all
feel that everybody should be treat

when it comes to religion, many a
| person who wouldn't be a teacher's
pet for anything, will believe and
hope that be is one of God's pets.
AU of us have this wish at times.
We like to feel that God won't deal
with uj strictly, that he will let
down the rules for us a little. We
like to think of ourselves as spe
cial cases, we like to feel we have
the inside track, or the "pipeline
to God." But it won't do. God has
no special favorites.
