If the threatened suspension becomes final, Kings Mountain area doctors would have to de pend on the once-familiar prac tice of emergency calls for vol unteer blood donors or abandon transfusion-type treatment. I. G. Patterson, Kings Moun tain chapter chairman, was noti fied August 16 that suspension is considered toy the Red Cross re gional committee "because of failure of your Chapter .during the year ended June 20, 1954, to maintain substantial compliance with your established and accep ted quota requirements for blood procurement." Mr. Patterson and Dr. P. G. Padgett, chapter blood program chairman, have asked for a stay of decision and have requested an emergency visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, in the hope that the Kings Mountain com i munlty will secure sufficient do nations of blood to return the Kings Mountain chapter to good standing. Grady Howard, Kings Moun tain hospital admiistrator ? and also blood recruitment chairman for. the year Just beginning, said suspension of Kings Mountain would be "very bad" for Kings Mountain hospital and Its pa tients who Tequire blood plasma I and whole blood transfusions. | "During the past year, pa tients, at Kings Mountain hospi tal have used an average of slightly more than one pint of blood per day," Mr. Howard said, "and with Increased use of blood in treating numerous Illnesses, a return to the once-used call me thod of obtaining blood donors would not satisfy the deman at all." Mr. Howard added further, "The supply of blood at the re gional bank in Charlotte is quite low, for In re^nt months we have not been allowed to store any blood ? in advance of demand ? here, as is customary when the regional bank's blood stocks are sufficient." Mr. Patterson and other Red Cross chapter officials were con fident this week that the region-, al blood procurement committee will schedule an emergencsy vis it of the Red Cross Blatodmoblle for Kings Mftuntain In the imme diate future. "However," Mr. Patterson no ted. "the emergency visit will be our last chance to .prevent sus pension. Unless blood donations are heavy, Kings Mountain will be off the list." Kings Mountain has plenty of company In the list of commeun ltles facing suspension. Only last week, Gastonla responded to an emergency call for blood to pre vent suspension from the blood program. \ METER RECEIPTS Parking meter receipts for the week ending Wednesday noon totaled $145.78, according to report of City Clerk Joe Hen drick.

Missionary Says India Won't Team With Communists1 ? ! "None of us bejieve Nehru will I work too closely with the Com munists," Dr. B. L,.

McGill- of Kings Mountain, out lined the work of the ARP church in the Pakistan mission I field, and also outlined the pollti- j cal ? economic ? religious back ground of the enmity between In dia and Pakistan. Major problem is religion, he said, which resulted in the sepa ratlc .4 of Pakistan from India, with strong hatred between Mo hammedan and. Hindu. Part of the trouble is economic, he added, with India threatening to cut off the Pakistan water supply. Against this background of un rest, he said, the ARP church maintains its Pakistan mission, whicirln addition to teaching the Christian religion, also maintains a school and hospital. He added, however, that Pakistan is friend ly to missionaries, in contrast to the attitude of India. Nehru, how ever, Dr. Hamilton added, th6ugh Moslem socially and politically, does not paramount the religious issue.
