Marphy To Lwe Red Cross Blood Sopply i
i
The Murphy unit of the American Red Cross has been notified by
the national organization that it is being withdrawn from the blood
frjtnk program because of its failure to reach the allocated quota
lot Red Cross funds.
Murphy has been given until October 1 to raise the $2000 it is
short After that, the Asheville Regional Blood Center will no longer
furnish local hospitals with Mood.
There is probably no one in Cherokee County who does not know
first hand the importance of blood transfusions in the treatment of
sick or injured persons. Everyone knows also that in emergency
cases the blood must be available immediately. The delay caused by
searching (or a donor with the correct type of blood for an injured
or sick person may mean the loss of a life.
The Red Cross blood bank program is the only way to assure an
adequate supply of blood for such emergencies. Two thousand dollars
seems a relatively small price to pay for such a service.

C ounty Han Project About To Begin 1
Last year the Murphy Chamber of Commerce, under the direction ?
of County Agent Paul Nave, sponsored a ham project in Cherokee t
County which gave pigs to FPA youngsters to raise. The pigs were ?
slaughtered last fall and the hams cured. They will be sold at the >
County fair this year at auction. '
Mr. Nave, who feels that ham production in Cherokee County is
definitely a potentially profitable project for the farmers, wants to i
repeat the project this year. 1
He feels, however, that it should be self-supporting and has work
ed out a plan whereby pig donors, at $15 each, are given one of the
hams at completion of the cycle.
In this way every citizen who gives $15 to buy a pig gets a ham i
worth $22 to $23 when it has been cured. Every donor will be guaran- ]
teed a ham.
llie income of the rural people of this area is the lowest per capita <
in the nation and anything which promises to raise it is certainly l
worthy of the support of everyone In the county. Particularly since
any betterment of livnlg standards in the rural areas will ultimate- !
ly affect every indivdiual in the county.

Salvation through Jwu? ChrUtis (
from the guilt and P?we* ?? *"}'
and the fear it produce#. Such ?*1
vation U to a We of meaning and
service, as we saw in this column J
last week. Finally, such "Nation
is to a matchless friendship with
God's Son, Jesus Christ, and to
fellowship with those that are His.
It is redemption to the most glo
ious of comradeships, that with
the Master of Men; and compan- i
ionship in the Church, the body of l
Christ. I
This fellowship of Christians to .
which we are saved is at deeper
levels than any other comradeship.
Last Sunday was Pentecost, the
anniversary of the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit, which sent the
Christian Church on its way of
witness and victory. The primary
and enduring result of the coming
of the Spirit at Pentecost, accord
ing to C. A. Anderson Scott, was
the koinonia, the community , or
fellowship. Salvation is from soli
tary self-seeking, or lesser compan
ionships, into this fellowship en
riched by the Divine.
How such companionship is need
ed. We mOst have it in order that
we rightly meet the issues of life:
its temptations, sorrows, Joys, per
plexities. A writer tells somewhere
of the loneliness of a student who
won honors at a school but had no
family to rejoice with him in his
attainment. Another tells of one I
who experienced the help of the
Christian fellowship in Jime of
need. Sent to prison for * crime,
he was met at the railway station
on his release by fellotf-members
of the church. They graciously re
ceived him anew and helped him
into a useful orbit of living. Never
did the one so befriended? and he
later became an outstanding citi
zen-forget the love and concern
the Christian community had ren- 1
dered. I
One of the most beautiful fea-1
| tures of a living corporate religion,
Evelyn Underhill has said, is that
that "within it ordinary people . ?
help each other to be a little more
supernatural than each would have
been alone."
But supremely salvation is tc |
communion with the Saviour Him
self, to one's being a friend? as
was said of Abraham? of God
Christian fellowship, as all things
human, is defective. But there is
no mark nor stain on the friends
ship that Christ offers. It has all
the every-dayness and hominess ol
other friendships, but with comple
tion and perfection He alone car
provide. "Warm, sweet, tender
sven yet," u Whittier said, "A
are lent help is He."
A human companionship, and i
juite vivid, Speaking of the dote- <
less of Jesus, William Borden ;
:ouid say to his friends, "He
a more real to me than any ol <

Such friendship colors and en- '
