t I Chronich "life The Southeast Winston I Rescue Squad, formerly I Air King Rescue Squad is "making a comeI back". Attempts to organize a rescue squad began over twenty years ago.Known then as the Citizens I Radio Club, members of the group used personal vehicles to come to the aid of citizens in the southeast community. In the mid 1%0's the I name changed to Air King Rescue Squad and I purchased a van to tranI sport equipment.

The squad is fully certified by the North Carolina Emergency Medical System as First Responders.

Captain Robert Staplefoot who has been with the squad since 1979 feels that the promary . goals for the upcoming fiscal year should include: "(1) Certification of each member as a North Carolina E.M.T. or higher, (2) To provide convalescent services for the elderly and disabled.

Christm i Raleigh -- The holiday season is in full swing now. So are solicitors seeking ' donations for?charitable ] organizations. The problem, however, is that some < of the so-called charitable groups don't use the money j for the intended purpose. H According to Ed Edgerton, head of the N.C. ' Department of Human 1 Resources'?Solicitation?i Licensing Branch, approx- 1 imately one percent of all giving in the United States is lost through fraudulent i means and another 10 per- 1 cent through misrepresentation.

In 1979, this country's citizens, businesses and foundations contributed $43.31 billion to charity. Edgerton says this translates to $580 million in North Carolina. "Despite the high rise in inflation, individuals contributed about 84pereenl_of _ the total giving last year. Corporations, foundations and bequests rounded out the other 16 percent. With citizens picking up the lion's share of the giving, it's all the more important that they be familiar with the charity they're giving their money to. Nobody wants to be taken by a fasttalking solicitor," stated Edgerton.

Because the squad is totally manned by volun- | teers, the squad expen- ' ses are maintained nnlv through donations and , membershipdues. In addition to applying for grants, the squad is currently seeking funds from businessmen, churches, professional organizations and other interested individuals for support to meet 1981 goals. t as Solid several tips people can follow in donating money to so-called charitable groups ?Know your charity. Request written information. ?Demand identification from both the solicitor and the charity. ?Don't be fooled by a :onvincing name or one that closely resembles the legitimate concern. -Beware of sob stories. ?Find out where your money goes.

Edgerton says that over-the-phone solicitations probably present the biggest problems in North Carolina. -Check with your local Better Business Bureau or the Solicitation Licensing Branch (919/733-4510) to see t if the charity is registered.
