June 2, 1954. The Perquimans Weekly Dear Sir: ' I am ashamed of Perquimans Coun ty and every one t who lives here should be just as ashamed as I am. ' ' This past Tuesday, June 1st, the Red Cross Bloodmobile made its semi annual visit Out of this county with a population of 9,602 a grand total of 23 pints of blood was collected and practically 100 per cent of that frag given by- the same donors that give every time. Sure, I know you are busy, I am too, but if you or some of - your fami ly were in urgent need of a blood transfusion I doubt very much that business would interfere 'with your trying to get Mood at any price. ; . Even when we were at war in Ko rea and our boys were dying on the battlefields - every .day for lack of I blood plasma this county at best could only get 50 to 75 pints per visit What's the matter with us? It does; not. cost a cent to give one pint and if you want to put it -on a selfish ba sis, the life, you save may be your own or. one of yout loved ones. , The quota for this county is 150 pints twice a year, if there are not enough red blooded- people in this county to meet that little quota then we had better give the county back to the Indians and commit mass hari kari, according to past records it wouldn't bloody up anything.
