The blood mobile will rgain be
in Andrews trorn 12 noon to 5 p. m.
next Tuesday. 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.

Murphy v Andrew!
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

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.

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 '
