Stevens Employees The hignest award given by the American Red Cross for saving or sustaining a life using knowledge gained through a course in first aid was presented Nov. 17th to two employees of J. P. Stevens. Co. Inc. The prestigious Red Cross Certificate of Merit, person ally signed by President Ronald Reagan, was pre-' sented to Lucy Orengia and A.F. Powell of Wallace, in recognition of their assis tance to a plant employee who suffered a heart attack at work. Orengia and Powell ad ministered cardiopulmonary recussitation to Carl Henry Marshburn last May 24 after they discovered Marshburn had no pulse and no respira tion. The two continued CPR until an ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later. The certificates were pre sented to Orengia and Powell during a special dinner party held in their honor at the J.P. Stevens guest house in Wallace. Attending were representatives of the local Red Cross chapter and J.P. Stevens Company. "This award is given to persons exemplifying the hiehest concern of one human being for another," said Lloyd Stevens of the Duplin County Red Cross. Charles Ingram, former chairman of the Duplin chapter gave a brief history of the Certificate of Merit award. The award was first es tablished in 1911 when an anonymous donor notified the Red Cross that he wished to make a $5,000 cash dona tion to the Red Cross speci fically for the recognition of first aid wo^k rendered by railway men. After accep tance of the money and the establishment of a trust fund, it was determined that four individuals each year would receive cash awards. During the period from 1925 1928. the Red Cross de termined that cash awards were inappropriate because the rescuers didn't receive a lasting reminder of the award. In 1928. then, the Certificate of Merit was es tablished. From 1911 to 1981 over 9.000 have been issued to deserving individuals who saved or sustained life as a direct result of Red Cross training. Since 1910 some 129,555.234 individuals have been trained in Red Cross First aid, water safety or small craft skills. Ingram said, ''While 9,000 Certificates of Merit may sound like a great deal at first, it's not verv many when you consider that that was over a 70-year period. Mrs. 1 ??V """" Orcngia and Mr. Powell will be joining a very distinct, very elite group. They are living proof of the the Bib lical admonition, 'Greater love hath no man that when he lays down his life for a friend." " In accepting the certificate and a lapel pin from Duplin County Red Cross secretary Mrs. N.B. Boney of Kenans ville, Lucy Orcngia express ed appreciation for the awards. She said. "We as a county should strive to edu cate everyone on cardio pulmonary rccussitation. Although Carl Henry Marsh burn did die 14 days later, we would all want a 14-day reprieve to set our lives in order. This reward that we have received tonight is wonderful, but if there is a reward for an incident like this, it was in seeing and hearing Carl Henry Marsh burn breathe again."
