t* .y*"r*rt. ’.£? a* * the warehouses empty. The Department of Defense consid ers the shortage so serious that it is asking for blood from military per sonnel both in U. S. bases and over seas. It expects to get as many pints from some 3.4 million service men as the Red Cross is able to wheedle from the 60 million eligible civilians be tween the ages of 18 and 59. The great need for blood in Korea is based partially on a new medical concept of the value of transfusions: while the average World War II cas ualty received one pint of whole blood . and one pint of plasma, the average wounded man in Korea gets four of blood and two of plasma. This lavish use of blood is paying off in lives \ saved; the death rate for Korean wounded is roughly half that in World War 11. Major General Erskine Hume, Chief Surgeon for the Eighth Army, told Scripps-Howard Corres pondent Jim Lucas, “We literally pour blood in sometimes, but we’ve saved /lives and that’s what counts ... Os every 1,000 wounded brought into our hospitals, 983 walk out alive . • • One of my jobs is to hand out 'Purple Hearts. Every time I do I see men who would be dead if H weren’t for the whole blood we used on them.” Working in connection with the bloodmobile’s visit Tuesday are the following: Service Committee Mrs. David Holton.

Lions Give Vote Os Thanks To Town's Officials For Paving Citizens Too Prone to Criticize Public Serv ants Says Byrum MAYORREPLIES Sign Pine Simphonettes Present Delightful Program Members of the Edenton Lions Club were treated to one of the most en joyable programs witnessed by those present in several years, when they were entertained Monday night by the “Sign Pine Simphonettes,” a local musical aggregation consisting of Bill Gardner, Francis Hicks, Mike Malone, Freddie Byrum and Dick Hines. Rendering such numbers as “Old Grey Bonnet,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “Sweet Sue,” “Roll Out the Barrel,” and Sousa’s famed march “Stars and Stripes Forever,” the last number of which they had only re hearsed for the first time Monday af ternoon, they were accorded rousing applause. Many of those present afterward expressed the opinion that a move ment should be launched with a view of having these youngsters perform on a WTAR television program in the near future. “We are deeply appreciative of this fine program, and wish to thank these boys and also chairman Willis Hooper of the program committee,” said Pres ident Rodney Byrum. In keeping with the festive season, Chairman Hooper had Halloween caps distributed to each plate, which added measurably to the spirit Os the oc casion. Also placed at each plate by Nathan Dail, county chairman of the Red Cross blood bank, were pledge cards, which he requested everyone to sign who could contribute Wood. “I am certain that it is unneces sary for me to tell you how important it is that you volunteer to give blood,” said Dail. “Not only is this of vital necessity to our boys who are fight ing in Korea, but also to the civilians, , 'both here and elsewhere, whose lives may depend upon this blood. The bloodmobile unit will be at the ar mory from 10:00 to 4:00 o’clock Tues day of next week and I urgently re quest that all of us will respond,” con tinued Dail.

To 6:30 P. M. North Carolina farm people will go to the polls Saturday, November 3, to vote on the “Nickels for Know How” plan for financing more agri cultural research and education in the State. Polls will be open from 6:30 A. M. ( to 6:30 P. M. Regular PMA polling places will be used. All persons who use feed or fertili zer, including women as well as 4-H, FFA, and NFA members with crop or livestock projects, are eligible to vote. No special registration is required. Each person may vote at the polling place which is most convenient for him, regardless of whether it is his own township. Two-thirds approval is required to make the plan effective. The referendum covers a period of three years. To be continued beyond that time, the plan would have to be renewed by referendum in 1954. Agricultural leaders have been urg ing for the past several weeks that every eligible person vote. The size of the vote cast, they say, will indi cate how much interest farm people have in solving their production and marketing problems. The “Nickels for Know-How” plan, worked out by farm leaders them selves, calls for an assessment of five cents per ton to be added to the cost of all feed and fertilizer sold in the State. The average farmer would pay about 25 cents a year, and the total amount collected would be approxi mately $125,000 a year. All of the proceeds would be turned over to the Agricultural Foundation, Inc., at State College t-o promote research and the dissemination of research findings. ' No expense would be involved in collecting the money. -This would be done at the manufacturers’ by the State Department of Agriculture along with collection of regular in spection fees. Agricultural leaders point out that the nickel per ton assessment would be a contribution and not a tax. Any farmer desiring to do so could obtain a refund of all the money he had paid in. Chowan County residents can vote at the following places: Court. House, Grover Cale’s store, J. B. Hollowell’s store, Henry Bunch’s store, Arthur E. Byrum’s store, L. C. Briggs’ store and H. A. Perry’s store.
