March 2, and then the following week on March 8th the fund drive for the American Red Cross will begin for the And rews Chapter. The idea of the blood bulk was conceived during World War II. i The blood was furnished by the ; American civilians and processed | by and at the expense of the Amer t i an Red Cross, following tins the, blood was turned over to the med-! ical officers of the Armed Forces. From then on it w% used in almost j every country of the world where ever our casualties occured. Dur ing the war the mortality rate was so decreased and the results were so remarkable, it was decided by ?he American Red Cross in carry ci the blood bank as oae of its [ more worthwhile projects into the civilian status and ?* no expense to the recipient. Last year the Aaheville Blood Center, which operates the blood mobile and supplies blood to the smaller components of the blood bank, wag operated by the Ameri can Red Cross out. of its funds at an expense of $130,000, and this was money well spant. The blood hank represents only one part of the many worthy pro I jeots of the American Red Cross ' and th^ money we give during the i March fund raising campaign will I determine whether or not .the Red Cross will be able to carry on this expensive but all inportant pro ject. The money you donate and the blood you donate may be exactly what is needed i.ometime to save the life of your best friend or near relative. LET'S MAKE THE BLOOD BANK AVAILABLE AND KEEP IT SUPPIJED Sincerely. Charles O. Via Gorder. M D.

Feb. 22, 1954 To The Young People of America. If you wOl read this article ? through I think you will agree that your time was not wasted, and I assure you that every statement In j it is true. A little over three centuries ago our ancestors settled a new country. They didn't have automo biles. electricity and sky scrapers of our modern cities but individual ly they were just as you and I. j s0"1* good, sortie bad. some lazy, some industrious, some smart. 1 some dumb. They had not been here very j I long til a superstition called Witch ', ! Craft befogged the minds of prac- J ; tically everybody, the ministers ! rnd other leaders preached and be-'t ' lieved in the superstitution and the tragic and unbelievable fact is that they tried and put to death many old people who someone disliked J and accused of putting spells over . them by the ? magic of Witchery. * Now. you will asks, how could sane people be so stupid as to do such a 7 thing? Well, the reason is that ' everyone advocated, read about * Witches in the Bible and many act-' v ually believed in the superstition 1 and no one said one word against " it or tried to expose the supersti tion as the dweller of an ignorant 1 mind. As soon as a few people be- 3 gan the faiacy of it. it melted a- 5 way like snow in the sunshine. * I Now, the naration of the above 1 j bit of history i^ a parallel of a foolish practice of today that is on 4 [ a vast larger scale and doing mil- 11 | lion times the damage that Witch- f I craft could ever do and we may well ask ourselves how a people of even average intelligence could make it a billion dollar business effecting around three fourths of our population. j j If you will turn on your radio 3 or TV set you will see what I mean ' t for you will see the expenditure of millions of dollars in advertising various brands of cigarettes, all claimed to be the mildest and con taining less Nicotine than the other , brands advertised, and carrying ; the testimonial of this or that 1 movie star* or celebrity, all of I whom know nothing of the effects ; of tobacco on the human body and i all of them highly paid to lend j their name to the big lie. Now since you young people are i subjected to the endless parroting | [ of the wonders of the cigarette, let i me have a few minutes of your time to tell you the real truth a- < bout this thing called cigarette and t tobacco and what I am telling you < has been proven by eminent scien- ; tists and borne out fully by my ob- f servation5 as a Doctor treating con t ditions of the eye. ear, nose and * throat over a period of forty years, j rather than some screen star who < is well paid to parrot the false ( claims about the most destroying , far reaching poison ever used by \ 1 i the human race. I To begin with, we took the habit up from a savage race of American . Indians. Secondly, tobacco con- 4 tains the most deadly of all known ; poisons. namely. Nicotine, and | eighteen other poisons. One half j drop of Nicotine will kill an adult < person instantly If Injected. Third- , ly, it contains Formic Aldehlde, { Carbolic Acid, imagine its effect , on your lungs and throat. Pyridine, i similar in effect to Nicotine. It con , tains Furfural, the poisonous agent in whiskey, one cigwstte contains .as much of it as then is In two ounces of whiskey. | Furfural Is fifty times es poison ous as alcohol end causes the tre mor of the cigarette smoker and causes the shortness of breath so well known in the smoker. The Cigarette contains Acrolein which has a violent action on the nerve centers, productaw degener ation of the brain cells which Is pnemanent. ' , Now let's see what som^ men with brains rather than a movie contract say about the tobacco hab it The National Association of Edu cation says: The rapid increase in cigarette smoking among growing boys and girl, is (tot only a cause of alarm, tt is a call to arms. No tobacco user stands at the bead of his class or aver becomes a star athlete Ex-President Hoover said: There is no agency in the world that is so seriously effecting the health, mention, efficiency and character of boys and girls es the cigarette habit, cigarettes an a source ot Mrs. Powers Dies In Andrews M?

RECEIVE 3rd DEGREE Jack Dickey and Mr. Bagley. of liw&ssee Dam. received the third legree at a meeting of Cherokee j x>dge No. 146 A. F. and A. M. at , meeting Saturday night. A large crowd attended, mem >ers of a number of neighboring odges, as far away as Abbeville. >eing present, according to an-, jouncement by Sam L. Davidson, j ?rime! nearly every delinquent boy ( s a cigarette smoker. Dr. Hutchinson of the Kansas State Reformatory says; Cigarettes ire the cause of the downfall of nore boys in this institution than ill other vicious habits combined-( Do the statements of these emi- ^ lent people mean more to you ban the paid testimonial of some responsible movie employee? As a Specialist treating diseases >f the upper respiratory tract, I ell you with all sincerity that the ^ ;laims made by tobacco companies ( ibout their product are absolutely j alse. Cigarettes do irritate the ( hroat, sinuses, bronohii and lungs. | They shorten your life, give you lumpy nerves, cause ulcer of the { Jomach. shorten your wind, hind-, >r digestion and poison your nerv ;s with a deadly poison that passes shis -weakness on to even the third generation. j We have mentioned briefly come of the evils of tobacco as far xs physical being is concerned. Now, if it were a harmless habit the fact that it is the cause of more loss of property by fire than any ather cause should be enough to cause any sensible people to out law it and the only reason it i?'t, the same crmie to raise tobacco that it Is Narcotics is by reason of the tremendous revenue the Gov ernment collects from the tobacco Industry. Narcotics, used in mod eration would not damage the hu man system as much as tobacco, but you get Jailed for raising Nar cotls and paid fifty cents a pound to raise tobacco. This article i, probably the only one you ever read telling you the truth about tobacco instead of try ing to tell you enough untruths to get you to buy the stuff and then you can understand the uhy of Witchcraft and the way of the To bacco babk^ , Boys and Girls,, you are only owking monkeys of yqprselves if you do things Just- because you saw someone else do it, and no boy or girl ever took up this filthy, destructive habit for any'otter reason than be asw someone eiue do it, which is worse than no ex cuse at ail. You should see some of the bab ies I see born of cigarette mothers. That would be *M the protection would need. {.sua not paid to tall you this, and I say, leave It akma. F. V. TAYOR. M ?.

I ? ML'1 1 ^ _a fei?? ni Ua4 BY DR KENNETH J. FOREMAN ??riplar?; John It. ??v?U?Ml 1M41MI Kufcld M l I-It. IN BOMBAY. India there la one * of the moat exclusive religions In the world, the religion of the Paraees. There are more Baptists in Georgia alone than there are Paraeea in the whole world. If you aren't a Partes born you can never get In. Even if you marry a Paraee It doea you no good; you are an outsider the rest of your life. That is precisely the opposite of the Christian religion. Billy Graham preaches to thou sands of people night after night and he invites every one of those people in the great tabernacles and auditoriums to be come^ a Christian. The congregations are not screened. No one has to pass an intelligence test or an FBI screen ing or a financial credit rating, or any son 01 pre vious sifting what- Dr. Fore man ever. Billy Sunday did not know, of course, his audiences by name. All he knew is that they were peo ple. And being a Bible Christian he knew that wherever people are. there Sod's invitation holds good. ? ? ? All People Are Lost Two things are quite clear from the New Testament. One is that all people are lost. The other is that Cod dees not want any one to stay lost. Jesus spoke of him self as the Shepherd and of people as lost sheep. To be "lost" does not mean to be hopelessly ac cursed Any one who has ever seen a lost sheep knows what a forlorn sight It is. bedraggled, be wildered. not likely ever to get home unless some one shows it the way. Lost cats need nobody's sympathy; they will find their way back all right. But we are not lost cats or homing pigeons, we are lost sheep. That is a picture way of saying that unless God sets us on the. right track and leads us home, we are all of us more likely to go wrong than to go right. A lost sheep has no pride Some men have said that pride is the root of all sins. Jesus did not seem to think so; weakness and stupidity account for just as many sins as pride. ? ? ? God Invites All God never meant heaven to be exclusive. He never meant us to be snobbish about our religion. There are some mistakes here, com monly made, which need clearing up. One is that because God wants all men to be saved, he is going to save everybody regardless Now if all wc knew of the New Testa ment were this parable of the sheep, we might suppose God would work it that way and bring all people to bis eternal home re gardless of how they felt about it. as a shepherd does with his sheep or a cowhand with his little dogies. But the rest of the gospels show us that God deals with us as free men. Heaven is not a sack into which God dumps everybody sooner or later, with their leave or without it. Heaven has a door, and the name of the door is Jesus Christ. You can put that in differ ent ways too. Christ is the only door to the Christian liie. He is the only door to the kingdom 01 God. If we wish to belong to God's kingdom we cannot turn away from Christ, we must come to God through him. But another mistake la to suppose that God has a private list of those he really does not want to come in . to "the marriage supper" as Jesub put it once. His Invitation is to all, realty to all; but he never forces any one to accept. \ ? ? ? The Church for AH A common sight, and a sad sight too. is a "class church." It doesn't make any difference what class It may be; it may be en tirely of country people, or en tirely of city people; It can be made up of high-brows or the un educated; tt Is a class church If the people In tt just don't want to have others In tt whose cir cumstances are different from theirs. If all men are lost and if God's desire Is that aQ shall be saved, no church should be more exclusive than God is. God does not draw color lines or class lines or money lines. The Ideal church, the one that reflects the facts of Christ's love and the calling of God. Is one in which no human being who loves the Lord Jesus and gives his heart to him. can feel strange-or out of place. There is no use saying, "We only want oqr kind of people", if Christ Uved and died tor all people. For that means all kinds of people ' ?-?
