Ifr HELP OUR ' ESa * VOL. XXV?NO. 18 More 1 Red Cross B To Receive 1 Donors Tod Korean War Has v Caused Need For More Whole Blood The Red Cross Blood Mobile unit of the Asheville Blood Bank will be in Sylva today (Thursday) for the purpose of receiving whole blood for the blood bank. Local people have been busy the past few days recruiting donors to give a pint of their blood. A large number of our people have signed cards indicating they will donate blood. But the need is so urgent it is hoped that many more people will go to the American Legion Hall between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. to donate blood. In the year that Jackson County has participated in the Ked cross Blood program 312 pints of blood have been received from the Red Cross Blood Bank and used by people in Jackson County. During this same period Jackson County people have only given 195 pints of blood, which means that Jackson county citizens have used 117 pints of blood given by people in other counties, and this at absolutely no cost to any one for the blood. Never has a pint of Red Cross blood been sold to any person or hospital. It is absolutely free to any person needing the blood. The f only cost of a blood tranfusion is the hospital or doctor's charge of the facilities and administration of the blood. With the war now * raging in Korea in which American men and women are engaged, the need for whole blood has increased tremendously. Blood and blood derivities saved thousands of soldiers during World War II, it is saving lives in this war. If blood is not at hand when it is needed many of our boys will not survive. It would be too bad for our fighting Imen to have to fight our enemies and then give their blood to save the lives of their bcddies. .When blood is not available on the battle field it is drawn from some of the fighting men. General MacArthur has made a direct appeal to the people of America for whole blood for his 4 ( A 1 A * 1/M1 At. ^ iignung iorces ana to iuuin tne request, every man and woman in Jackson County between, the ages of 18 and 60 should present themselves at the American Legion Hall, between the hours of 10:00 and 6:00 o'clock on Thursday, September 28. The pint of blood that you give may save the life of your own son or brother. During August, farm flocks in North Carolina produced 76 milI lion eggs.
