very rapidly without bothering to
make any further Inquiries.

Approimately 40 American Red
Cross volunteer workers and, of
ficials launched their 1950 cam
paign yesterday morning to raise
$3,745.50 in the Waynesville area.
The Rev. M. R. Williamson,
chairman of the area chapter, de
clared at the kickoff meeting in
his Waynesville Presbyterian
Church he was confident this goal
would be reached - but that it
would take the cooperation of
everyone to do It.
He pointed out that the 1950
quota for this section is approx
imately $1,000 higher than the
1949 goal.
This, he explained, is due to the
fact that the Waynesville chapter
has received several new requests
for financial aid.
One came from the Asheville
chapter which has asked the Way
nesville area and 13 other West
ern North Caroina Red Cross units
to help finance the expenses of
operating the regional Blood Pro
gram, he said. Thiis request alone
was for $261, though the local
chapter did not commit itself to
it.-- :'.-.
He urged the campaign workers
to go from house to house in their
drive, and added he wanted to see
a Red Cross sticker (the. sign of a
donor) on a window of every home
In the area by the time the cam
paign ended.
"The Red Cross," he reminded
the audience, 'is one of the things
which are supported solely by the
people, without subsidy from the
national government."
The minister termed the local
chapter "an essential part of com
munity life," and added:
