Sawyer Lists Red Cross Vcrk Dcz3 By Donations With tha Perquimans County Red Cross Fund Drive being in full awing now, Mra. Nathan Saw yer, chapter chairman, would like to highlight some of the work done by the local and national Red Cross each week in order that you might know how your funde are being uaed. ' ' ' Perhaps one of the moat well known and popular programa of the Red Cross la the Bloodirio bile. The Bloodmoblle la in Hert ford three times each year and at tha present time, our goal la 75 pints per visit. Unfortunately, due, to the flu and also lack of interest on the part of aomeof the citizens, we have only received 101 pints out of two visits during the last fiscal year but It la hoped we will more than reach the goal at the May 3 Visit. By being a participating county in the Tidewater Blood Program, any citizen of this county may re ceive blood anywhere In the United States without paying for the blood. There Is a charge by the hospital for auch things as typing, cross matching, admin istering the blood and profes- alonal services. But, there Is no charge for Red Cross blood. If we were not a participat ing county in the blood program, s anyone from here would have to pay commercial prices for the blood they receive as wallas cost on any family. Part ofthefundsralsedthrough the local campaign go to help maintain the Red Cross Blood- mobile - helping to pay salaries of the nurses, doctors, techni clana who accompany each visit. All local help at each visit from canteen workers to nurses on duty are volunteer help. We would like to stress that all workers with the Perqulmana County Red Cross are volunteers and not paid workeral ; Mrs. Sawyer urges you full support of the current fund rais ing drive. With co-operation from every citizen, we should easily reach our goal of $1,615.00. Next week, the duties of the Service to Military Families will be discussed. Good Friday Services Slated The Rev. Chester Andrews, Pastor of First United Methodist Church, Hertford and the Rev. Edwin T.

Mrs. White Says April Is The Turkey Month By (Mrs.) Ila Grey White, Home Economics Extension Agent April is National Turkey Month, the big bird is In plentiful supply, and Easter is a good holiday to aarve It for family or guests as a whole bird, in quarters or halves, in the other readily avail able parts or the boneless, no waste rolls. No matter in what form the fowl la served, it is the garnish that glamourizes a meal and makes It lntoan event. Garnishing food for beauty - and appetite appeal is creative work. Applying time and talent to making food more beautiful flatters family and guests. Turkeys roasted whole, in halves or quarters provide the rich color and interesting shape that require a basic garnish and a few trimmings, Perquimans County Home Agents suggest you start with a fringe of parsley or a ruffle of salad greens, then fol low with colorful fruits or vege tables.

Cooper, ScoutmaMer Working together is the mosti Important step for unity, and good will to men. Therefore, it makes the world a better place in which to live. If all of us would worktogether there would be less friction In our communities, homes, schools, colleges universities, and in our nation. . All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and with rights. They. are endowed with reason and conscience, and should work together towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood, for a better world in which to live, As long as we work together, there is hope and trust. Finally how can these goals be achieved to win par ants' coopera tion? Since understanding is the basis of cooperation, it is impor tant that parents be Informed con cerning the group activity pro gram. One of the most important ways of gaining support of par ents is to invite them to visit th schools and giving them recogni tion by having them to stand. There is an old saying, but a true one; if a house is divided between itself will not stand the test of time. Let me make it clear to the reader by giving a concrete ex ample: Take several pegs of equal length and bind them together with a rope and see what happens. You can clearly see that they will stand together. If the rope Is re moved, they will fall apart. With the same token, if we are not to gether we will rail apart. Burgess Revival The Rev.
