BLOODMOBILE-Wednesday's visit of the Bloodmobile at the Methodist Church yielded 98 pints to the county's fund. Nearly 100 Give Blood Nearly 100 pints were received last Wednesday during the Bloodmobile visit at the Raeford Methodist Church. "We were most grateful for the 98 pints we received, though we were fcoping to get a few more, we were most grateful", said Mrs. Ralph Barnhart, county bloodmobile chairman. "We did have a nice number from McCain Hospital and it did help a lot", she said. Mrs. Barnhart expressed the need to get more town and county people to participate in the blood drive. "We just don't get enough from the town and county and they are the one who use it. We have to depend mainly on the industries," she said. A breakdown of the donors shows that the county received 43 pints from Burlington, 25 from McCain, 22 from the town, and 8 from Kint-Away.

A $2 million expansion program is scheduled for completion in September and Budd said additional employees may be hired by next year. The facility will continue to produce its House of Raeford brand of frozen turkey for the conventional market and will expand its cut up and cooked product line, Budd said. "The purpose of the formation of House of Raeford Farms, Inc. is to insure a continuing supply of quality products to the consumer," he said.
