The American Cancer
Society has urged its volun
teers to back community
undesignated blood collec
tions according to a report
received by Earl Van Horn,
Chairman of the Mayland
Chapter of American National
Red Cross. Out of 150 million
eligible blood donors in the
United States, only about 6‘/i
percent actually donate the 10
million units required each
year in this country. Cancer
Society Volunteer donors ex
ceed the national average by
nearly three times according
to the report. Approximately
22 percent of all blood
transfused annually is receiv
ed by cancer patients, says
the report, of which about 86
percent is donated by the
community at large as unde
signated collections.
The report noted that total
blood needs would cost cancer
patients s7s‘/i million if
furnished by commercial and
other “non-replacement”
systems, whereas Red Cross
and CCBC blood tissue costs
nothing.

Drive Begins With
Fanfare On Square
Two groups that will be
receiving help from the
United Way in 1977 are the
Girl Scouts and the Toe River
Arts Council. The Girl Scouts,
with a long and enviable
t history, have been receiving
'support since the United Way
was started. The Toe River
Arts Council is a newcomer.
Each deserves your support^
The availability of Girl
Scouting in Yancey County
depends on the personal and
financial commitment to its
program and ideals by the
resident of the community.
Donations to the Girl Scouts
through the Yancey United
Way provides program mater
ials, administrative super
vision and services, recruit
ment and training for adult
volunteers as well as the
camping program available at
Camp Pisgah, the resident
Girl Scout camp located near
Brevard. The Girl Scouts in
Yancey County during the
1976-77 program year inclu
4ed approximately 125 girls
and adults taking part in the
wide range of activities and
programs which were avail
able to them. One Brownie
Troop for girls in the Ist
:hrough 3rd grades, two
junior troops for girls in the
4th through sixth grades, and
one Cadette troop serving
girls in grades 7 through 9
have been formed already;
and adult volunteers antici
pate forming a Senior troop
for girls in the 10th through 12
grade in Burnsville and one
Brownie troop in Micaville.
This fall marks the begui
ling of the expanded Girl
Scout program in Yancey
County-a program made pos
sible with your contributions
jto the United Way.
The first Arts Council in
j the United States started in
1 North Carolina in Winston
Salem. Now, with stimulus
from the National Endowment
for the Arts and State Arts
Councils, the movement is
spreading across the country.
Our own two-year-old Toe
River Arts Council, T.R.A.C.,
has moved off to a flying start.
For two sumemrs it has
organized classes for children
in drama, art, and music. An
illustration of how TRAC has
enriched school programs was
seen last week when the
North Carolina Dance Theatre
gave lecture demonstrations

In addition to bringing

Distribution Change For
Fraser Fir Transplants
The heavy demand for
fraser hr transplants and the
limited production capabili
ties of the State Nursery have
resulted in a change in the
distribution system for fraser
fir transplants for Christmas
tree production. Special pro
cedures will be used in
processing fraser fir orders:
(1) Fraser fir orders will be
accepted in the Raleigh office
of the Department for a period
of 60 days following distribu
tion of applications. (2)
Approved orders for fraser fir
transplants will be filled by
allocating an equal amount or
share of each tree grade per
applicant. Equal shares will
be determined by dividing the
total number of trees of each
grade for sale by the number
of applicants ordering the
respective grades. (3) Appli
cants will be notified by
December 5 of the amount of
fraser fir trees they will _
receive. Full payment will be
required upon notification. (4)
The sale of fraser fir will be
made only to applicants who
certify that the trees will be
planted in counties where
climatological and geological
conditions are suitable for
satisfactory culture of the
species. These counties are
Alexander, Alleghany, Ashe,
Avery, Buncombe, Burke,
Caldwell, Cherokee, Gay,
Graham, Haywood, Hender
son, Jackson, Macon, Madi
son, McDowell, Mitchell,
Polk, Rutherford, Surry,
Swain, Transylvania, Watau

The sale of fraser fir will be

work and to perform before

The Yancey County United
Way grant of $464 can be

privately raised money doubly
important to T.R.A.C.
If you wish further infor

or the organizations that are
being helped* call Mr. Eddie

of approving applications. (7)
Approved orders for fraser fir
seedlings (2-0 and 3-0) will
initially be accepted on a first
come basis for quantities
ordered. In the event that
total orders surpass the total
number of seedlings avail
able, an equal share distribu
tion process will be employed
to fill orders.
Tree seedling applications
are expected to be available
