Rose and John Beers, co-chairmen

this appeal to blood donors:
"The time is here again when
each of us has the opportunity
to help in one of our commun
ity's greatest efforts. Often
times we are asked to help with
or contribute to some cause and
Vve feci that the results are dif-
ficult to see. Not so with this
riiii ioi help because each of you
i-nmus nt ra in whih Omo
loved one or friend was in dire
nccA of whole blood or blood
I dcrivitives and this need was
met in the Red Cross blood don
lor program. .Thousands of lives
jhave been saved since this pro
gram was instituted and where
j come. No amount of money can
substitute for blood when it is
'urgently needed. No doctors
can manufacture blood. It must I
come from the human body and
only you can decide whether you
want to give of yourself to this
all important and life giving
program. Imagine yourself in
a position in which you needed
blood and there was none avail
able because others had said,, "I
just don't have time" or "I'm
just to busy to bother with it."
Make a date now to become a
blood donor."

A new industry for Hertford,
to employ some 30 to 40 per
sons, appeared nearer reality
this week when the plant owner,
Lyn Truax, assured Chamber of
Commerce officials he will open
the Truax .Veneer and Plywood
Plant here about the middle , of .
September. (: t
Mr. Truax was in Hertford on
Tuesday when he conferred
with Jesse Harris concerning :
the details of a lease on a build
ing to be occupied by the plant
He also rented a home in Hert
ford and he, with Mrs. Truax,
expect to move here '. , very
shortly. ; ''',' v,
Negotiations for securement
of this industry for Hertford
have been under way for .sev
eral weeks between Mr. Truax,
Mr. Harris and officials of the
Chamber of Commerce. ,
Charles M; Harrell, president
of the Chamber of Commerce,
said the Chamber is highly
pleased that it has been pos-
sible to secure this new indus
try ana tne unamoer of Com
merce will continue its efforts
lo assist Mr. Truax with his op
erations here as well as to work
toward securing more firms to
locate in Perquimans County.
According to reports, ; Mr.
Truax will take possession of
the industry site on September 1
and begin operations just as
soon a machinery and supplies
can be installed in the build
ing. Employment at the plant, ac
cording to the understanding of '
Chamber officials, will be open
entirely "to local individuals
since Mr. Truax plans only to"
bring in his shop foreman from
outside the county.
No figures as to annual pay
roll for "this industry are avail
able at this ; time but the em
ployment of the 30 to 40 men is
expected to be a boost to the
economic situation in Hertford.
