THE MARION PROGRESS A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE OF MARION AND McDOWELL COUNTY ESTABLISHED 1896 MARION, N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1949 VOLUME 54 No. 22 Clinchfield Tops Other Units In Number Of Blood Doners I The Red Cross Bloodmobile visit in Clinchfield last Wednesday was pronounced most successful by Red Cross officials. There were 138 donors examin ed during the day. Eighty-five pints of whole blood and nine pints for plasma was given. It was explained that although this is not the biggest number of pints of blood received it is the highest number of prospective don ors who have presented themselves an any visit in McDowell county. The high number of rejections, ac cording to Dr. Margaret Burn es, of the Asheville Blood Center, was caused by- the fact that so many of the prospective donors had colds. Had it not been for this, the number of pints received would have exceeded the 100 mark, she said. Dr. Burnes accompanies the Bloodmobile on each of its visits and is accompanied by four nurses and two blood custodians. McDowell county still leads this region in the number of volunteers and number of pints received. The average is 75 pints per visit. Rev. M. 0. Owens, chairman of the program, and Mrs. Ann Haw kins, executive secretary of the lo cal chapter, accepted an invitation to talk to other chairmen, and se cretaries of this region, in Ashe ville last Friday. With the conclusion of the visit to Clinchfield, a total of 370 pints of whole blood have been accepted from this county in addition to the blood accepted for«plasma.

Miss Clark Has Returned From Europe Miss Rosalind Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Clark, re turned to Marion Wednesday, De cember 7, from New York City where she arrived from South Hampton, England, on November 27 aboard the SS De Grosse, after spending the past six months in Paris, France and other parts of Europe. She was met in New York by Mrs. Clark. Miss Clark completed a three year course at the Parsons School of Design in New York City last May and sailed for Paris, following her graduation, for a post gradu ate course at the New York School of Applied Arts, with headquarters in Paris, France. During her studi es at the Paris School she toured points of interest in France and Italy. In these two countries she followed a course of special study, with emphasis placed on the Louis XIV, XV, and XVI syles in France and on the Renaissance and Baro que periods in Italy. When Miss Clark s studies were officially over in October she and a group of other students toured several other countries of Europe on their own. Among these coun tries were England, Scotland, Hol land, Belgium, Luxumberg and Switzerland. By obtaining special visas the group was able to visit a very small portion of Germany and Austria but were forbidden to en ter the Russian zone at any point. In speaking of her impressions of the countries through which she traveled Miss Clark said that, "One of most permanent impressions was of the hopeless and completely poverty prevailing in Italy, partic ularly in Naples." She said also that, "other places were bad but the city of Naples seemed worse than any of them, and so much of that must be due to the Communist rule of the city." Miss Clarke is now a qualified Interior Decorator and plans to en ter some phase of the field of de sign following a vacation at her home until after January 1.

Heavy Mails For Christmas Anticipated Christmas bundle bearers are reminded that the greatest flood of parcel post in history is expect ed this year, Postmaster John Fin ley said this week. In addition to the holiday packages there will be a volume of commercial shipments, he said, and urged that all parcels be n^ailed at the earliest possible date. For last minute shoppers who would like a suggestion sure to please anyone, he recommends a U. S. Savings Bond in a beautiful ly decorated Christmas folder. Other regulations the Postmast er calls to the attention of the pub lic are: Parcels may not be sealed unless they have a printed label or unless they are mailed first class in which case they must be sealed. Use heavy, substantial wrapping paper and strong cord. Parcels should be protected with heavy, corrugated cardboard. Christmas cards not sealed re quire a two cent stamp. The best service is to use a three cent stamp so the card will be returned to the sender if it cannot be delivered to the addresses. The address of the sender would have to be written legibly on the upper, left hand corner for this service to be ren dered, however. All addresses should be accurate and complete.
