Bloodmobile Visit Slated;
Red Cross Urges Donations
By Ashton Chapman
Membeis of the Yancey
County Rescue Squad believe
that it's more blessed to give
than to receive. That’s one
reason why they're sponsoring
the forthcoming visit to Burns
ville of the bloodmobile from
the Red Cross Blood Program
Center in Asheville. The unit
will be operated at the Armory
in Burnsville on Monday, De
cember 17, from 1 to 6 p. m.
Everyone is being caught up
now in the happiness of plan -
ning for holiday gift-giving.
The stores in Yancey County
are blooming with seasonal
decorations and fabulous mer
chandise is displayed in abun
dance to suit everyone from
Grandpa to little Susie.
In addition to all the lovely
gifts in the stores there's one
gift that only YOU can give.
It's a gift that won't cost you
a cent, you won’t need to gift
wrap, it'll take very little of
your time, and its value is so
gTeat that it may save some
one's life. The life you save
Mrs. Santa To
Visit Library
The "Mrs. Santa Claus" is
coming to town just to visit her
little pre-school friends.
When...? Mrs. Santa plans
to arrive at the Yancey County
Public Library in Burnsville on
Friday, December 14th for a
very special Christmas party
from 10 a. m. to 11 a, m.
If you'd like to know what
Santa Claus' favorite cookie
is, what size shoes the little
elves wear, if Rudolph's nose
really glows, then visit with
Mrs. Santa at this Christmas
party, and eat the delicious
"goodies" she has baked in her
kitchen at the North Pole just
for little boys and girls to
enjoy.
may be that of a close friend,
a member of your family— or
even your own life!
That gift is a pint of blood.
While all of us are busy and
preoccupied with the bustle
of holiday planning, there are
those less fortunate who cannot
participate. They're the pa
tients in hospitals, victims of
illness or accident, whose life
and well-being depend on the
generosity of you and others in
providing them with the blood
they so desperately need.
There's no substitute for
blood} it cannot be manufac
tured; its only source is a heal
thy human being. Each of us
has about 12 pints of blood.
Each of us can spare a pint.
When we give a pint of blood,
this wonderful body of ours goes
immediately to Work to re
place it—a process that's usual
ly fully completed within 72
hours.
Those who give have the
great satisfaction of knowing
that there are then 13 pints of
their blood in existence-- the
12 they need for themselves,
PLUS the one more for some -
one whose need is great.
Could any gift be more ap
propriate at this holiday season
than the precious gift of life
for another person?
Plan now to share this gift.
It's so easy; just go to the
Burnsville Armory on Monday,
December 17 between 1 and
6 p.m.
It's easy; it's painless; and
it won't take, much more than
half an hour of your time. And
When you come, why not bring
a friend? Happy holiday!
Operation
Santa Claus
Many of the residents of
Broughton Hospital, the men
tal hospital serving this area,
will not be at home for the
Christmas holidays. Operation
Santa Claus, a program where
by new gift items are collec -
ted throughout the county by
mid-December and distributed
at Christmas to the patients, is
again in effect. Collection
boxes are placed in some of
our churches in this area and
at the Yancey County Health
Dept, and the Yancey County
Dept, of Social Services.
Please give, and help to
make someone's Christmas a
happy one. You may call one
of the above agencies for in
formation about suitable pre
sents.

Yancey School Hours Will Change j
* i
The school hours for Yancey
County students will be chang
ed when daylight saving time
is reinstated. This was the
opinion of the Board of Educa -
tion in its meeting on Monday
night. Although a definite hour
will not be set until further stu
dy is made, concensus of opin -
ion was that the time should be
set up to at least 9:00 a. m. to
3:30 p.m. in order to prevent
students from having to wait
for buses before daylight.
The superintendent reported
to the Board that some changes
in the duel bussing system
would soon have to be made
because of the fuel shortage.
This would be a factor in deter
mining the new school houn.
The Board set January 2 as
the date of its next meeting.At
this time the architects are ex
pected to submit a floor plan

Tomato Coop
To Operate
The Board of Directors of
the Yancey County Co-op has
announced that the tomato coop
will operate during the season
for 1974.
Pur ing the year of 1973, the
operation of the co-op was fair
ly successful and it appears that
all obligations have been orwill
be met as agreed.
Tomatoes during the past
operating season sold consider -
ably w ell ibr the quality of to
matoes produced. The main
problem with the total tomato
business is currently based on
not enough growers.
The tomato enterprise on a
small or large farm can be a
successful one if recommended
practices are used during the to
tal season.
The Board of Directors would
like to express their Appreciation
to the loyal farmers fnom both
Yancey and other counties who
had tomatoes processed at the
plant the past season.
