Tryon Daily Bulletin, Tues.. Ma “What’s Red Cross Done For You?” Using the theme, “What’s Red Cross done for your lately?” the storm-delayed kickoff breakfast marked the launching of a drive to raise $14,300 from contributors in Tryon and the surrounding communities. Speaking to 60 campaign workers, Richard E. Weiss, Red Cross chairman, emphasized that while money raised here does go for disaster and related work wherever needed, significant amounts are spent locally. “The local Red Cross assisted a family whose household furnish ing were lost when the Pacolet River flooded in 1978,” he said. “It also helped two families whose homes were wiped out by fire. Other families have been given emergency fuel funds. We even have arranged for emer gency message relays to service- men’s families. “But perhaps the most signifi cant contribution we make locally is through the Blood bank,” he added. “Our Bloodmobile quota, ap proved by our local board, is for 1100 units this year. These go to St. Luke’s Hospital for use by doctors in this area. This is a vital program. It is estimated that the average American who lives to age 72 will require at least one blood transfusion. “We will need more than $4,000 this year to pay the actual costs of collecting 1100 units of blood during 1980.” “Due to a rash of disasters, the latest in California, Polk County' must keep pace wjth national requirements and prompted a revised $14,300 goal. Earlier Polk County contributed its “fair share” to replenish depleted $23 million disaster fund reserves. A $10 million drain went for disaster relief in the Southeast states alone. 31,968 families received assistance from hurri canes Frederic and David devastation in neighboring states,” Weiss said. James Kirk will be chairman of this year’s Fund Drive. Kaye Williams will supervise the business and industrial solicita tion, and Barbara McAllister will be in charge of the Drive in the communities surrounding Tryon. “For ninety-nine years, the Red Cross has served its mission and the people faithfully and well,” Weiss said. “As we approach our 100th birthday, it is . 11, 1980 vital that we get the contributions necessary to continue this good work. Be good to your Red Cross volunteer when he or she calls on you. And if for any reason we fail to ask your for a contribution, remember the work we do and the continuing need, and mail a check to the Red Cross, at the Depot, Tryon,” he said. Runion-Bilger Miss Roxann Runion and Robert Cameron Bilger were married at 3:30 p.m., March Sth at the home of the groom’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Biler, Hooper 'Creek Road, Tryon.
