Red Cross Life Saving Award
Of Merit Presented To
J.P. 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."
PLBI IC^SERVICE AWARDS - Senator Harold W
Hardison of Lenoir County and Representative Al Adams
of Wake County were selected by the N.C. Public Library
