LETTERS TO THE EDITOR... TbeBdMer: 1 m most am used and dis gusted at ? recent article in our Altavlata paper on how an AltaVista senior had reached the semi-final* India National Merlr Scholarship competition and waa the first one in the BWB'a history. The newspaper alao gave an explanation of what a National Merit was ? as though we're such a bench of idiots we'd never heard. Very seriously rflsr having three very different child ren in schools in three small owns in three stalls. Murphy's were by far the finest. Murphy schools may not be accredited and they have many needs and short comings but you have the greatest percentage of dedlcand school teachers and officials per staff I have ever encountered. After you've taken children from one of thewealthestsub urbs of upstarn New York's school system and put them in with great misgivings in a poor mountain school system and find your children are at least six months behind academically, you wonder. They caught up because the teachers took the time end in terest. Then you move them to a town two times the size of Murphy and find they're almost a year ahead academically, you decide Murphy la pretty good. But how about publishing some statistics? What is the per cent of dropouts in Murphy? How many scholar ships have been earned? What per cent go on to higher education? These figures would have Interest not only to local citizens but to the prospective Industries. I oelleve they would make WNC sit up and notice. Mrs. Mary Ressel Altavlata. Va. The Editor: 1 have been surprised and shocked to realize that many of our citizens do not under stand the workings of the Blood Red Cross blood is free and cannot be purchased. Any one who thinks he has paid for Red Cross blood is mistaken and should see me im mediately so that we can In vestigate and establish the .byBud Morgan Recelpe of (he Week: Scient ists are working on sweet potato flakes, a parboiled wheat product called bulgur, a bean power that does away with soaking and boiling, whole edd powder, vegetable chips and dried honey. Already on the market are freeze-drled foods, (foods that have been dehydrated under vacum while frozen). These foods, meats, fruits, vegetables, even cas serole dishes keep on the cup board shelf for long periods of time. Before too long the old saying of 'Whats cooking 7" will be replaced with 'What*s Thawing'7*. Hats off to J us tine Rosier the Roving Reporter who takes my side in the battle of green bean cookery.

TEEN SCENE: Brends Little and her sister of Culberson wrote In and said they do the Twist. Congr adulations Breads, few of our teens have been brave enough to admit Id A recent article In the "Tarheel Banker" said they were once told by a Baptist minis wr about the dme a red wasp got down his back whan he was preaching In the little country church beck home in North Iredell. As someone has already suggested, maybe a baa started the entire move ment m the Twist. I suppose most of us are just Jealous that we're to far along to take It ip. SMILE OF THE WEEK: When son takes out the family car, lather lent worried so much about the ig> heap ? Ida the mra over that bothers WHO KNOWS:: Before Alaska and Hawaii, which waa the last State admitted to foe Union 7 Which la closer m Tokyo - Seattle, Washington or Sydney , Australia? MAIN STRBBTt I nodes that r of our smrao ate having with (act*. So ma time ago 1 in vestigated a claim from a local citizen who thoi?ht ha bad paid for Red Croaa blood and we were able ?> establish with documentary evidence that the man was mistaken and that ha did not have to pay for the blood. One of the things that con fuses people Is the fact that soma hsopltals distribute both Red Cross blood and com ma deal blood. Red Cross blood Is that blood which Is collected by the Red Cross BloodmobUe. Commercial blood Is handled by com merlcal blood banks which are In the business of buying and aelllng blood for profits. Com merlcal blood banks are necessary and useful and If your are not "covered" or eligible for Red Cross blood than the hospital Involved has no alternative but to purchase blood from a Commercial blood Bank. Thus, there Is no In-between sums: you and your family are either eligible for free Red Cross blood or your are not. If you are eligible the blood Is free. If you are not eligible you cannot get Red Cross blood at all. One reason some people have gotten the Idea that they have paid for Red Cross blood Is that both the doctor and the hospital generally charge a fee for transfusing the blood. The doctor charges for his time and skill! In transfusing blood Just the same as he would charge, for example, for giving you a shot of pen icillin or sewing up a cut on your hand. The hospital fur nishes the equipment and fre quently a nurse or technician to assist with transfusions,and they also make a charge for this service. But there is no charge for the blood Itself, Red Cross blood Is free and anyone who believes otherwise Is In error snd In fairness to the Red Cross and Its blood program, he should take the time and trouble to seek out the facts with me before orally pub lishing erroneous Information To be eligible for RedCross blood you or some member of your immediate family, must have given a pint of blood to the hloodmobile within the past 12 months. In other words, if you gave a pint of blood In October of 1961, this donation put your entire family on the eligible list for 12 months from that date, or until October of 1962. If you are eligible. If you are a member of anellglblefamlly It matters not where you have your operation, but It Is Im portant for you to know how to got the blood. Most of the time a man knows In advance if he is going to have an operation and he should con tact me in advance. I will then notify the Asheville blood center to contact both the doctor and the hospital Involved In the operation, whether it be In Florida, Calif ornia, or Murphy, and the blood center will supply whatever blood Is needed. Again, this service Is free. If you are In an automobile accident and need blood, the same Red Cross blood Is available free of charge, if the order for blood is authenticated by your local blood program chairman I do not think it would be wise for me to publish the names of the various persons who have availed themselves of this service, but If you will see me personally I will be happy to tell you the names of many Murphy residents who have obtained free Red Cross Blood. Again, let me emphasize to those from Missouri, that Red Cross Blood has never been sold and cannot be purchased. Red Cross Blood Is like sun shine and sympathy - it is there for you to use, but if you had all the money In the world you could not buy It. The next visit of the Blood mobUe will be April 19, 1962 and 1 hope you will Join me and the many other stgiporters of this program in providing blood for those who need It. The blood you give may save a life. H. L.
