FRED O. TILSON, Co-Cbairman 1955 Campaign Drive JOIN' JOIN' JOIN! Join the American Red Cross. The Red Cross needs you and Madison County needs the Red Cross. Our 1955 Red Cross Campaign for members and funds is now underway. We hope that every family in Madison County will join the Red Cross. Do you know tKat our county used over 300 pints of blood from our Red Cross Blood Bank this last year? Had Mve had to pay the commercial minimum charge of jto.uu per pint this would have amounted to 75 hundred dollars which is over 2 ' ttimes our quota, which is $2,81o.U0, lor 1955. During our campaign month we were fortunate to have the Director of the Blood Program for the Southeast ern Area speak to our high schools, to one of our civic clubs, and a Union meeting of our churches. How fortunate it is for us in Madison County to be de veloping for ourselves all of these programs and activities instead of spending our national funds to meet disaster needs, as was true in the Eastern part of our state follow ing Hurricane Hazel, when 1,500 families were assisted by Bed Cross. Approximately $600,000.00 was spent in North Carolina alone to meet the disaster caused needs. Service to the Armed Forces, or Home Service during the past year has assisted families with emergency needs concerning their sons or fathers in need. This is a confi dential service and therefore money expended here is un known to the public. Junior Red Cross is Red Cross in the school and gives our young people an opportunity Jo participate in a world -wide program of young people working toward, perfecting the five squares in the Red Cross which symbolize Service, Faith, Hope, Love and Tradition. Our school-age boys and girls will be participating in a learn to swim program and other water safety activities during the summer. Our quota for 1954 was $2,785.00. We collected $1, 561.73. In January 1954 we had a grant of nearly $900.00 and in February of this year we had a grant of nearly $500.00 to meet our Blood and Home Service obligations.

Come on friends! Cross. Let's all join our American Red CRIPPLED CHILDREN GUEST EDITORIAL by CHARLES E. MASHBURN, Attorney The Easter Season in the northern hemisphere heralds the hope and faith of Spring. It is therefore fitting that during this season of the year our wish has been declared throughout the nation as Crippled Children's Week. Dur ing this week contributions will be solicited through the sale of Easter Seals. As forty percent of the county fund is retained for strict local use for the crippled children the project is im portant to our county. If one contributes to one drive or more, the Crippled Children's Drive should be at the top of the list. The only funds available for our county's approxi mately 110 crippled children are derived from the pro ceeds of this drive. No federal or county tax funds are available. These 110 have had treatment at the Orpho pedic Home in Asheville. Our leading institution .for the treatment of crippled children is the Orphopedic Home in Asheville and a portion of the funds derived from the Seal Sale in this county may be available for us by them. Each person's attention is called to this drive, now in progress, as a drive worthy of our contributions. Harden ret Led Hot Spri:;.

ALCOHOLISM OUR pRSTAFFUCnON In contributing to all the worthy drives to rid this country of disease and affliction, one should not lose sight of the disease which perhaps affects more Americans than any other. This disease is alcoholism and it is estimated that about 3,- 876,000 Americans are atllicted Dy it today. It is estimated that cancer victims number about 711,000, tuberculosis victims 1,200,000 and polio victim? about 38,000. Thus alcoholism claims well over twice as many victims as these three diseases combined. Wo are not attempting to invade the social habits, or the personal lib erties of anyone. We are attempting to point out that alcoholism is a dis ease which is sometimes not recog nized for its actual qualities, which ro nften auite deadly and which sometimes result in death and de struction of human life. FvTKrts estimate that it takes many years before most alcoholics actually fall victim to the disease. But once they have succumbed, they become tragic victims of a danger ous, and often unrecognized disease and usually, even fail, themselves, to appreciate what is happening to thpm. A nn example of the cost of al coholism Dr. Lester Breslow, of the California State Department of r-ub li,. Hpalth. rceently found that t-ali. fornia's alcoholics cost the state 12 times as much as the total liquor tax .ovpnne. ' Breslow estimated the cost of alcoholism in California alone at tnn (100.000 annually, Sicrns of the threat of alcoholism are noticeable when one begins to crave a periodic drink, or regular drinks, each day, or when one De comes nervous withost a drink. Many people are well along the road to al coholism when they begin drinking in the morning and this should be closely watched by anyone with a tendency to do so. Alroholism nrobably causes more 4ihne J lost from work, more reckless driving, more- accidental and unume- ly deaths, more home acadents. ana ijijtfriev than "any other disease. Al coholisin !
