Discussed in 4-County Session Here

Representatives of Red Cross I Parish hall of Em-
ood collection program in ®P*®copal Church were:
Mrs. Kennedy, the Rev. Martin
blood collection program
Moore, Hoke, Richmond and Stan
ly Counties met here Monday af
ternoon to discuss lagging collec
tions in areas served by the Red
Cross Blood Center at Charlotte,
with increased recruitment of
donors as the goal.
Use of blood by hospitals ex
ceeded collections in 27 of the 37
Red Cross chapter areas served
by the Charlotte Center, in the
period from July through Sep
tember, the group was told.
In Moore, for instance, 324 pints
were used during this period and
120 collected, the report by offic
ials of the program showed.
A visit of a bloodmobile to Vass
last week collected only 26 pints,
said Mrs. Audrey K. Kennedy,
e.xecutive director of the Moore
County chapter, who presided at
the meeting.

Dr. Heinitsh Is
President State
^ Wildlife Group
Dr. George Heinitsh of South
ern Pines was elected president
of the North Carolina Wildlife
Federation at its annual conven
tion held at Fontana Dam last
weekend.
The State Federation is com
posed of more than 7,000 mem
bers in some 100 affiliated clubs.
Dr. Heinitsh has been its secre-
tary for the past two terms. He is
also ciurrently serving as presi
dent of the Moore County Wild
life club, in which he h^ been
active since its organization a
dozen years ago.
Dr. Heinitsh, who has practiced
as an eye, ear, nose and throat
specialist in Southern Pines since
1946, is an active hunter and fish
erman, expert marksman and
collector of firearms, dedicated to
the principles of outdoor sports
and to the conservation of natural
resources for which the Federa
tion stands.
It supports legislation and the
program of the North Carolina
wildlife Resources Commission to
preserve the benefits of soil,
water, forest and stream for the
best use of the State and its peo
ple.
^ “A ^eat challenge before us
* today is the fight against water
pollution,” he said this week,
noting that “the appointment of
the State Stream Commission by
Governor Hodges last year was a
great forward step.”
Dr. Heinitsh was born in Spar
tanburg, S. C., took premedical
work and his first two years of
medical studies at the University
of North Carolina, and graduated
^ from Duke Medical school in 1932,
remaining at Duke Hospital for
five years for training in medi
cine, surgery and his specialty of
ophthalmology.
He was married in 1932 to Nel
lie Graves of Carthage. They lived
for two years, 1939-40, in Fayette
ville, where he was associated*

Hj Republicans to
Stage Carthage
Rally Saturday
Moore County Republicans,
making their liveliest bid in years
for county offices as well as the
state and national tickets, wiU
have another free supper and
Tally Saturday night, at the
American Legion hut near Carth
age.
Some 300 persons were reported
attending last Saturday night’s
rally and supper at Aberdeen.
Speakers included James E.
Harrington of Pinehurst, county
GOP chairman and Stait Senate
candidate who stressed the need
for a two-party system in North
Carolina; A. I. Ferree of Asheboro
who spoke on the importance of
working in the local precinct;
Mayor Robert S. Ewing of South
ern Pines who discussed the na
tional phase of the campaign and
Drewry Troutman of Pinebluff,
candidate for member of the coun
ty board of education, from Sand
hill and Mineral Springs town
ships, gave his ide2ts for improv-
ing the county schools.
Caldwell, rector of the church;
Dr. Charles Phillips and Dr. Phil
ip Green, representing Moore Me
morial Hospital; Dr. Raymond
Daugherty, representing St. Jo.s-
eph of the Pines Hospital; Robert
Cross of Asheboro, past regional
Red Cross blood collection execu
tive chairman and a member of
the committee; William Cade, di
rector of recruitment for the reg
ion; John Petty, blood program
chairman for Stanly County; C.
A. Hostetler, chairman at Rae-
ford; Mrs. W. R. Wilson and C. A.
Royston, of Hamlet; and press
representatives.
LTnder the system used through
out the 37-chapter area, blood is
supplied by the center, in types
called for, to hospitals of the area,
in the expectation that periodic
collections by bloodmobiles will
return to the center at least the
equivalent of the amount sent to
hospitals in the territory of each
of the chapters. It is this return
flow of blood that has been slow
ing down and threatening to cut
off blood from the Charlotte cen
ter to the hospitals.
It was apparent from the re
ports given Monday that the slow
down is not local in Moore Coun
ty but has affected most of the
chapters in the 37-county area.
The Southern Pines meeting
was one of a series of four region
al meetings to discuss the serious
ness of the situation and seek for
answers that will promote dona
tion of more blood frpm all of the
lagging chapters.
All the officials agreed that
many persons who pledge to give
blood often don’t give and that
the burden of giving is falling too
much on a relatively few persons
who are generous in their dona
tions.
Recruitment of new donors; an
efficient organization to involve
many people in the program; and
the help that can be given by
clubs and industries—all these
were mentioned as important fac
tors in stepping up blood collec
tions in any community.

collections have been made for
