" Blood from the bank, whose .head quarters are in Norfolk, have been made available to at least seven Farmville residents, without costs other than the fee approved by hos pitals and Red Cross for necessary laboratory tests. (The fee in Pitt' county is $10.) Citizens receiving this blood were patients in six different hospitals located in five cities. One of the recipients, James Wooten, Jr., donated blood to the bank when the bloodmobile visited Farmville two months ago. As with ^he other pa tients, the transfusions aided recov ery and made considerably lighter his hospital bill. Blood from the bank has been di rectly responsible for saving the life pi the daughter of an ECC official, according to County Red Cross offi cers. x The blood was administered while the daughter was critically H in Pitt Memorial Hospital and came directly from blood donated by citizens of the county. One-half of the blood contributed through the bloodmobile goes to the armed services. The remainder is kept within the hrea. ^Hospitals use their own stocks of blood and then re plenish their, supply' by drawing from the bank in Norfolk. If advance no tice is given, doctors can arrange for blood to be^ent in advance to hospi tals for the patient’s use when, and if, needed. Robert D. Rouse, Jr., Robert Whe less and Jack Tyson served on the committee that was largely responsi ble for the success of the bloodmo bile’s visit to Farmville.

Manager Brinson assumed his duties in Wilmington on Monday of this week. The Brinson family will remain in Farmville until a resident can foe secured in Wilmington. Replacing Mr. Brinson as manager of the Farmville Store is R. D. Stone, who has been connected with the store here since January. Mr. Stone a native of Salisbury, came to Farm ville from the Washington store. William Robert Pollard of Farm ville was one of the six boys initiated last week mto the Alpha Eta chapter of Xheta Chi fraternity on the cam Crime Situation Summarized For Legion By Agent W. H. Gibson of the Federal Bu reau of Investigation, whose head quarters are in Kinston, last Friday night gave members of the Farmville American Legion a shocking sum mary of crime conditions in the Unit ed States and asserted that improve ments will come only after homes, churches and. schools have instilled in citizens, young and old, a proper re spect for Christian teachings. Introduced by Curtis Flanagan, with whom he was in school at Wake Forest, Mr. Gibson stated that the FBI was established for the two-fqld purpose of conducting internal secu rity investigations and investigating criminal activity. He explained that since 1939 the bulk of the agency's attentian has been given to investiga ting and bringing to trial persons in volved in sabotage and espionage. These activities became of paramount importance when World War II loom ed and have continued to be so. Sev eral cases of nation-wide importance were discusesd and explained but Mr. Gibson refused to elaborate on Com munist activity or on the recent Klu Khix Klan uprising in Columbus county. . While the work of the FBI is con cerned primarily with investigations of criminal activity and breaches of national security, agents are often called about violations of other laws and are given information which, in . turn, is given to postal authorities or agents of the Treasury department He explained that T-men who come under the Treasury department are vested with authority to investigate tax frauds. The FBI is under the Department of Justice. For crime detection and prevention, Americans are bring tabbed at the rate of 318 billions a year. This tre mendous sum is more than three and a half tilhes as much as the $5% bill ion the nation spends annually on its schools. The contributions to church es is much less. Mr. Gibson stated that today more girls are serving- as bar-maids in this country than are enrolled in colleges. He also declared that the total of all students enrolled in American colleges is less than the number of Inmates of penal institutions. The youthfulness of the law breakers is alstf a matter of grave concern to those charged with ferret ing out criminals and erasing condi tions (Which develop a disregard for laws of God and man. The'FBI-man - said that during the five-year period from 1941 to 1946, more crimes were committed by Hie 17-year bracket than any other group. By 1950, more crimes were committed by young men and women 21 years old, than in any otfier group. This repre sented an improvement, but the con ditions remains alarming. : To.curb criminal tendencies an'’ . I lawlessness, the agent asserted that greater respect for Christ’s laws must, be taught. Aji inevitable re sult of such teaching, he declared, will be a deeper and more profound respect for man’s laws. Robert D. Rouse, Jr., commander of the post, presided over the meeting.
