Donor Program Results Good
The donation of a human
organ or tissue can literally
be the gift of life to a critical
ly ill person requiring a
surgical transplant to remain
alive.
Ben Shepard, manager of
the Organ Donation Program
for the N.C. Department of
Human Resources’ Division
of Health Services, says that
while there are a variety of
organs which can be suc
cessfully transplanted, only
kidney, cornea, skin and bone
transplants are preformed in
North Carolina at this time.
The state hopes to begin pan
creatic transplants in the
future to help people with
severe diabetes.
Shepard said that in 1981
there were 110 kidney
transplants in North Carolina
and more than two hundred
cornea transplants. Kidney
and cornea transplants are
normally permanent unless
the body’s system rejects the
donated organ.
“Skin transplants are used
to cover damaged areas on
burn victims, and may be life
saving as well as cosmetic,”
Shepard explained. “Human
tissue presents the least risk
of infection, and it can be
freezed dried and stored for
several months.”
Bone transplants are
designed to help rebuild
healthy bone in damaged
areas.

He said whole body dona
tions are also possible for
medical education and
research purposes, but it
depends on the need at the
time of the donor’s death. A
person cannot be both an
organ donor and whole body
donor at the same time,
Shepard said.
North Carolina’s organ
transplant centers are located
at Charlotte Memorial
Hospital, Baptist Hospital in
Winston-Salem, Duke
Hospital in Durham, N.C.
Memorial Hospital/Universi
ty of North Carolina Medical
School in Chapel Hill, and Pitt
Memorial Hospital/East
Carolina University Medical
School in Greenville.
In 1979, the Division of
Health Services and the N.C.
Division of Motor Vehicles
began a cooperative cam
paign to increase the number
of people willing to be organ
or tissue donors at the time of
their deaths. A Uniform
Donor Card was included with
license renewal reminders
mailed to more than
2.9-million drivers in North
Carolina. Over seven per cent
agreed to donate human
organs or tissue.
Shepard stressed that
organ/tissue donors are need
ed regardless of a person’s
race or sex. In order to be an
organ/tissue donor, a person
must be at least 18 years of
age and have his or her
Uniform Donor Card signed
by two witnesses.
He urged potential
organ/tissue donors to carry
their donor card along with
their identification and
driver’s license so that it can
be easily found. He also
strongly urged donors to in
form their doctor and close
family members of their
donation.
“Sometimes a person’s
desire to be an organ/tissue
donor is overlooked at the
time of death simply because
relatives and friends aren’t
aware of the fact,” Shepard
pointed out. “Organs to be us
ed for transplantation usual
ly must be removed at the
time of death, so it’s crucial to
know that a person is an
organ/donor.”
Persons who wish to be
organ/tissue donors can get
donor cards through many of
the state’s local health depart
ments; and the Organ Dona
tion Program, N.C. Division
of Health Services, Box 2091,
Raleigh, N.C. 27602. Donor
cards are also included in
every driver’s license
renewal mailing.
Report On
Social Security
by Lee E. Wallio
Field Representative
People who reach age 65
after 1981 and delay their
retirement will have their
Social Security benefits in
creased by 3 per cent for each
year past age 65.
For example, a person who
retires at age 68 would be en
titled to a benefit 9 per cent
higher than he would have
received at age 65.
The delayed retirement
credit is 1 per cent per year
for people who reached age 65
before 1982.
The purpose of the delayed
retirement increase is to en
courage people to continue
working and thereby,
decrease the cost to the Social
Security Trust Funds.
Delayed Retirement
Credits are in addition to the
cost of living increases ap
plied to a person’s benefit
once they reach age 62, the
earliest possible retirement
age.

Elizabeth City Social Securi
ty office at 338-2161.

North Carolinians looking
for practical information
about jobs and careers may
find help in a new state
publication.
The publication, entitled
“Career Choices in North
Carolina,” is a 24-page tabloid
designed to provide informa
tion about jobs in North
Carolina and about training
opportunities. It was written
to provide information to
young people and adults who
are planning a career, looking
for a job, or making a career
change.
“Career Choices,” which is
being distributed to all high
schools and post-secondary
institutions in the state and
other agencies, features a
career planning guide. The
guide outlines more than 200
occupations by employment
outlook, approximate pay in
North Carolina, suggested
education or training and a
list of education and training
sites in North Carolina.
Other articles examine ser
vices of Vocational
Rehabilitation, vocational
education in the public
schools, CETA training in
North Carolina, educational
opportunities in the military,
financial assistance, and N.C.
Choices which is a com
puterized bank of career
information.
“Choosing a career is one of
the most important decisions
a person will ever have to
make,” Gov. Jim Hunt said.
“All too often that decision is
based on haphazard or no
planning and false notions.
What is needed is accurate,
up-to-date and locally
revelant information about
currently available and an
ticipated employment
opportunities.”
“The publication was a
cooperative' effort. Gov.
Hunt said, “and I am per
sonally appreciative to each
agency phieh made it
possible.” * ' /
