Mr. Massie also pointed out. that there were several Methodist lay men and civic leaders not present at the meeting Wednesday night, and he felt they would all make liberal contributions. Bishop Harrell told the group that so far, the Western North Carolina Conference had subscrib ed $90,000 to the campaign. . feel kthaL .tbjnf.erenc must set the pace and raUre $t00, 000, and that means the Waynes ville district has a quota of $10,- 000' he pointed out The bishop cited the cultural benefits, as well as the religious benefits, and the added business the program would mean to this area. He paid special tribute to the founders of the Lake, and com mented; "They did better than they knew.

Tuesday morning, just before the blood donor room opened in the Hazelwood Presbyterian .Church, President Rudolph Carsweil of the Hazelwood Boosters Club smiled: "We're going to beat the Lions Club today." He was referring to the 101 pints of blood 123 volunteers donated at Waynesvillc January 31 for a new Western North Carolina record. The Waynesvllle Lions Club had sponsored that visit of the Red Cross's Bloodmobile. By 6 p.m. Tuesday, these figures testified to the accuracy of Mr. Carswell's forecast: The Bloodmobile had 104 pints of blood. The donor room had received 155 volunteers. ' Both were new records for the I American Red Cross Blood Pro gram in Western North Carolina. Of the volunteers, 79.6 per cent were employees or tne unagusia Manufacturing Company of Hazel- wood. This" turnout resulted from the cooperation of the firm and Local 335, (AFL) Upholsterers Interna tional Union. The company gave all employees all the lime oft" they needed to make their donations. This didn't affect their usual lunch period or their pav, either. All day long, taking only brief time out for lunch. Mrs. Charles Ray and the other Gray Ladles of the Waynesville area Red Cross chapter, Carsweil and members of the Boosters Club worked in co operation with the technicians and physicians. , Aiding the Gray ladies with the registration and care of the volun-1 teers were Mrs, Jimmie Reed and Mrs. Howard Hyatt.

" Fred Campbell, on' duty "with the other Boosters Frank Trout man, William Prevost, and George Bischoff got heavy moral and physical support from his wife. The Gray ladies, working with Mrs. Ray, were Mrs. Felix Stovall, Mrs. John Giles, Mrs. William Medford. Mrs. Jack Messer, Mrs. N. F. Lancaster, Mrs. L. K.
