"Patients in 102 hos pitals in our area receive their blood supply through Red Cross- Blood Services in the Carolina Region," he said. "An average of 992 pints a day must be donated to meet these needs." The Red Cross provides the means through which volunteer donors can help, promoters of Fri day's visit pointed out.

Requests For Payments Are Made By 253 Requests for disaster payments have been filed on 253 farms under the 1980 Feed Grain and Wheat Program, Thomas E.

This is an average of $234.63 per farm," he reported. Corn producers are re minded by Director Wat son that an application for disaster payments must be filed at the ASCS office within 15 days after the crop is harvested or abandoned. Any acreage that will not be harvested must be appraised by an ASCS representative be fore it is destroyed, he explained. "Harvested production must be kept separate by farm, and production records must be identi fied by farm serial number," reported Di rector Watson "A farm's com produc tion may be considered zero fbr low yield purposes under certain conditions if the corn is contaminated by aflatox in. Growers who suspect their corn is contaminat ed should contact the office before taking any action to dispose of the crop," he said. Watson said that claims for payment were processed as fast as possible and that any producer who feels that he or she may be eligible for payment under the disaster program should contact the ASCS office within 15 days after harvesting. Contract Renewed For Police Station The Warrenton Board of Town Commissioners, meeting in a called meeting at 5:30 p. m. Monday, agreed to renew a contract with Mr. and Mrs. Hy Diamond for the rent of the police station building at the corner of Main and West Market Street.

The proposed lease called for a three-year lease that could be cancelled by either party upon the giving of 60 days notice. The lease was referred to the Police Committee for study. As a result of a confer ence between A. A. Wood, chairman of the Police Committee and V. R. (Pete) Vaughan, town ad ministrator, and Mr. Diamond, two changes were agreed upon accord ing to Commissioner Wood and Vaughan. The first was that the rent should remain at $75 a month; the second change was that while the lease was to be for a three-year period, that it might be cancelled at the end of a one-year period upon 60 days notice, instead of a three-year period. The board unanimously approved the revised agreement in a brief meeting. Commissioner Gordon Haithcock was absent from the meeting.
