Bloodmobile
(Continued from rase 1)
of blood a week from the Western
North Carolina section.
This urgent need, he pointed
out, has been aggravated by the
current Korean war and the threat
of world-wide Communist aggres
sion.
Of the 400 pints needed weekly
he said, 200 are necessary to meet
local regional needs, and the re
maining 200 are necessary for de
fense purposes.
The blood to be set aside for
defense is needed for the wounded
and to add to the stockpile which
would be necessary in the event of
an atomic bomb attack.
'The amount needed for defense
purposes will increase from month
to month," he predicted.
This means. Colonel Wright de
clared, that every healthy man and
woman must give a pint of blood
four times a year, if the needs of
the armed forces, civilian defense,
and the local sick and injured are
to be met.
Referring to the requirements
for blood in the event of an atomic
bomb attack, he pointed out that
every casualty of atomic radiation
requires repeated infusions of
blood.
"Radiation cuts off the ability of
bones to manufacture blood cor
puscles," he explained.
"That means that continued Ire
fusions of blood are necessary un-
i til the bone is able to resume its
function."
The Asheville Regional Center
covers 15 Western North Carolina
, and two northeastern Tennessee
counties.
Faces Death For Double Murder
Yesterday's donations brought
to 439 the number of pints of blood
given the Regional Center during
this year by residents of the
Waynesville-Hazelwood area.

tee's recommendations.
Meanwhile, members of the
County Board of Education called
the committee's work this week
"the most thorough survey ever
made of the county's schools.
If the voters of Haywood Coun
ty approve Issuance o f county
bonds, the funds would supplement
the state school building money.
The vote of the more than 400
persons who attended the meeting
was on a motion based on a resolu
tion adopted that morning by the
County Board of Education.
This resolution, Mr. Messer told
the audience was that the countv's
allocation from the state be held
In abeyance and that an estimate
be made to determine the total
cost of putting all the schools into
top shape.
He said a county board survey
made two years ago showed that
the job would cost approximately
$1,500,000.
Ho added, however, that in view
of the increase in construction
costs since that time, he did not
know what the job would cost now.
After the estimate is made, the
county board will request the
Board of County Commissioners to
set the special election.
Then it would be up to the com
missioners, working through the
county elections board, to call the
vote.
The state committee completed
its two-day survey late Tuesday
afternoon.
Their recommendations were not
made public.
Mr. Messer explained that the re
port would be released for publica
tion by the state board after it had
approved the findings Thursday.
The architect not only will de
termine the total cost of taking
care of all the schools.
But he will also make an esti
mate of the cost of making each
improvement at each school.
Mr. Messer said this means that
the allocations of the sought-for
county schoo bond issue would be
made before the election.
Thus, the voters would know how
much money each school would re
ceive to make the needed improve
ments, Mr, Messer told the audience he
was authorized to present this idea
by the County Board of Education.
The second survey of the state
committee resulted from a formal
protest filed by a group of Hay
wood County " citizens with the
State Board of Education.
The protest was against the al
location of the county's share of
the state funds for construction of
new buildings at Bethel Element
ary School and Waynesville Town
ship High School.
The county superintendent ex
plained that these allocations were
made because the needs at Bethel
and Waynesville had been considered-
greater than those of any
other schools in the county; and
that they would serve a greater
number of people.
At the same time, he declared,
the County Board was " not un
mindful of the pressing needs of
the other schools In the county."
The plans and specifications for
both the projects were ready for
submission to bidding when the
state board ordered a halt to' the
projects on the basis of the pro
test.
At Monday night's meeting. Hcr
shel Harkins of Asheville, attorney
for the protesting group, told the
committee that the initial-survey
committee did not obtain a true
picture of the situation.
He said this was particularly true
in reference to the Spring Hill-
Bethel situation.
He explained that a hundred or
more students from the Spring
Hill community were transported
to the Bethel School, that the net
effect was to make the Spring Hill
School look bad, and Bethel School
look good.
Mr. Messer said later that Spring
Hill School has two rooms, two
teachers, and 70 pupils.
Discussing th overall picture,

Mr. Messer told the audience:
"The entire trouble is there Is
too much to do ard too little
to do it with.
"The people want $2,000,000 to
do the job. And right now there is
only $345,000 available for it."
He then told the group of the
county board's resolution.
Ned Tucker made the motion
that the citizens sponsor the move
and the vote was taken after it had
received several "seconds."
The members of the state com
mittee, with T. C. Robinson, super
intendent of Buncombe County
Schools, presiding as chairman, re
ported on th previous surveys
made In the county.
The Initial survey was made No
vember 10, 1949.
A special survey was made early
last October on the situation per
taining to the Spring Hill, Lake
Junaluska, and Maggie schools.
The committee for this survey
recommended that Rock Hill and
Maggie Schools be consolidated,
and located "preferably" in the
Dellwood area.
It also recommended that the
Lake Junaluska School be con
solidated with Waynesville.
Sidney Kirk, of the state school
house planning and survey division,
said the special survey group had
reported thiit the patrons of these
schools had worked vigorously to
effect improvements.
However, he added, the condi
tions prevailing at all three, in the
light of anticipated growth of the
communities, would forestall ,their
achieving a well-balanced long
education program.
The special survey had been
made as the result of a protest a
gainst the original recommenda
tions contained in the report of the
committee which made the survey
November 10.
The original report also had re
commended consolidation of the
three schools.
The other members of the com
mittee which made the county sur
vey this week was H. Cueck, super
intendent of Murphy city schools.
