OLD BOOKSTORE COMES DOWN—Appalachian’s old bookstore
erected in 1934 was being demolished this week to pave the way
for construction of a $300,000 split-level structure which will
house facilities for merchandising, storage and book rentals.
The new building will have five intermediate levels and will
contain 20,000 square feet. The project is to be financed by the
University.
rved Cross Is Aiding Servicemen In War
The increasing U. S. mili
tary in South Vietnam has trig
gered a sharp upsurge in Ameri
can Red Cross assistance to
U. S. servicemen stationed in the
Southeast Asian country.
As against a monthly average
of 11,000 men who served inthe
early months of 1966, a total of
over 20,000 individuals re
ceived Red Cross services in
August of this year. Announce
ment comes from S. M. Ayers,
Watauga ARC chairman.
There are more than 300
American Red Cross staff in
Vietnam. Of these, 146arepro
viding morale-maintaining wel
fare services to ablebodied men
and 44 are giving the same type
of services and offering pro
grams of recreation to men in
hospitals, including the hospital
ships Repose and Sanctuary.

are presenting audiance-par
ticipation programs for able
bodied servicemen in the field
through center-clubmobUe ac
tivities. The remaining staff
are in administration posts or
are carrying out such “house
keeping’* functions as person
nel, accounting and simply work.
Emergency messages con
cerning crises in the families
of servicemen flash between
Vietnam and Red Cross national
headquarters in Washington,
D. C., at the rate of over 600
per day. This of course, effects
the local chapters to a tremend
ous amount, Ayers states.
An innovation in American
Red Cross service in South Viet
nam is the assignment of men
as resident workers in two mili
tary hospitals. A male-field
director and two case workers
are at the 6th Medical Convale
scent Center at Cam Ranh Bay,
and a male field director is
assigned to the U. S. Naval
Hospital at Da Nang. These four
are the first American Red
Cross men since World War
II to be assigned to military
hospitals full time.
Some 270,000 service per
sonnel now attend center-club
mobile programs each month
and there are 20 units in opera
tion at this time in that area.
One out of every five families
in Watauga receives Red Cross
services in one way or another,
and in order to give this service,
“we must meet the cost of the
services we give,” Ayers said,
‘‘and we urge that in supporting
the United Fund drives you will
remember that the Red Cross
chapter in Watauga County re
ceives its operating funds in
this manner.”

Carbon Monoxide: The Invisible Killer
Every home harbors an in
visible potential killer, it goes
along on every automobile trip
and can strike down vacation
ers in motels, campers or
tents.
The invisible killer is car
bon monoxide, a colorless
odorless gas given oa as a by
product of any fuel burning. Each
year an average of one thousand
people in tbe U. S. and Canada
are overcome by fumes leaking
from faulty furnaces, car ex
haust systems, space heaters
and household appliances.
Before cold weather comes,
Dr. Mary Michal of the Dis
r
trict Health Department urge)
people to have furnace combus
tion chambers checked and wori
out exha use systems on their ca
repaired. Gas water heaters
dryers and incinerators that
are improperly vented can caus<
deadly amounts of the gas tc
accumulate in any home and arc
especially dangerous in modern
well-insulated homes wit!
storm windows that keep free!
air out. Sleeping with a window
partly open in motels will pre
vent deadly accumulations of the
gas if by chance the heating
system is faulty. Vacationers
should never use grills or other
fuel burning equipment in cam
pers and tents without good
ventilation.
Dr. Michal recommended the
following emergency measures
if carbon monoxide poisoning
’ does occur:
1. Remove the victim im
mediately to fresh air or get
1 as much fresh air into the room
as possible.
2. Call or have someone
else call a doctor. Also send
for a rescue squad, ambulance
or police car with special
equipment for reviving the
victim.
3. Use artificial respir
ation till breathing becomes
normal. This may take two
hours or more.
4. Keep the victim warm and
quiet to stave off danger of
shock.
5. Avoid use of stimulants
such as tea or coffee, which
would be an additional strain
on the heart, or which may
go into the lungs.
6. Aid circulation by rub
bing the arms and legs. The
sooner proper circulation re-'
turns, the sooner the patient
will recover.
