RED CROSS REPORTS
TO GOVERNOR HUNT
To underscore the importance
of meeting the local 1980 Red
Cross goal of $14,300, the report of
Carolina’s division of Red Cross’
annual accounting to Governor
Hunt is pertinent.
36,915 North Carolinans served
7,678,320 hours without cost to
ease the suffering of their
neighbors.
1979 was open-season for
hurricanes, floods, tornadoes.
1225 persons were sheltered and
fed in four downstate counties. 25
Carolina volunteers and staff
were pre-positioned in the Myrtle
Beach-Charleston coastline to
insure immediate help. 50
volunteers and staff helped
disaster victims in Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida.
276,944 pints of blood were
donated. Red Cross Nursing and
Health classes trained over 11,000
persons in home nursing,
child-care.
Lifesaving skills of cardio-
pulminary resuscitation were
learned by 23,845 people in Red
Cross classes.
87,879 students participated in
Red Cross Youth Programs in 584
schools.
Red Cross acted as advocate
for 2,723 North Carolina veterans
and their families with VA.
This yearly report to the
Governor also reflects Polk
County’s Red Cross operations.
Most notable is the blood
collection program for St. Luke’s
Hospital with a quota of 1100
pints.
Dedicated canvassers are now
combing the streets and high
ways of the county. It’s vital that
the budgeted $14,300 annual
appeal is met. Polk County has a
reputation for responding to the
call “Help Keep- Red Cross
Ready.” — Reporter

APATHY
Sample words that flutter forth
Bring a laugh or smile or frown.
The stage is set, the truth has
flown.
And as we sit each alone
We frown and smile.
And laugh at things we think
worthwhile.
Each player is set
and robed and yet
The play has just begun.
For each lie that is told
be it new or old,
Destructions path it seeks.
The stage is old
and players bold.
And as they dance,
it shimmers and it creeks
And when it breaks
Masks it takes.
The robes be torn away
and each shall see to one
another your lives were spent in
apathy.
