Mcdowell county STILL LEADS BLOOD PROGRAM The monthly report of the Ashe-: ville Regional Blood Center recent ly sent out to all chapter chairmen : and other officials shows that Mc-; Dowell county still leads all coun ties outside of Buncombe in the i number of pints of blood contri-; buted to the Blood Program since It? inception. Through October, I this county had contributed 28?<' pints of blood. This was collected in four visits of the bloodmobile to: the county. These visits were to East Marion, Old Fort, community building in Marion, and Cross Mill. The record for number of pints of i blood received in one visit in this. region is held by East Marion. In j the four visits, this county Has con-1 tributed 47.5% of its quota for the year. The quota is 600 pints, to be J taken in eight visits. Only one other chapter of the Red Cross has exceeded the percentage of this county, and that is the Black Moun tain chapter, which had a quota of 300 pints. During October, the bloodmobile visited Cross Mill, and had 87 volunteers processed, from 56 pints of blood were taken. Up until this visit, McDowell led the United States in the smallest per centage of rejections of volun teers. This is a record of which we are proud. The next visit of the bloodmo bile to McDowell will be on De cember 7, at which time it will be located in the Clinchfield commu nity. Community chairman for the Blood Program there is Miss Marie .jarrert. Dining October the Marion Gen eral Hospital received and used 34 pints of blood. Each month the number of pints of blood is smaller than the number taken in any one visit, but the blo-odmobile makes only eight visits a year.

ONLY ONE ELEVATOR FOR PATIENTS AND EMPLOYEES You have to wait your turn to use the elevator at Marion Hospital. This applies to patients as well as employees, for there is only one elevator available. It is used to carry patients to and from the wards and rooms on the second and third floors, to get out the laundry and garbage, to haul supplies, and for every other purpose. Here the photographer catches a typical situation where a new patient being taken to a third-floor room is kept waiting while an attendant unloads garbage and supplies from the elevator.
