Beware during holidays RALEIGH - The holi day season is close at hand. This means that thousands of people throughout the state will be rapping their knuckles on doors asking for money for charitable purposes. Ed Edgerton, head of DHR's Solicitation Licens ing Branch in the Division of Facility Services, cau tions citizens to beware of some of ? these soliciting organizations. Some are not legitimate and are not licensed to solicit in the Tar Heel State. "We estimate that close to one-third of the giving occurs during the last two or three months of the ! year," said Edgerton. There are also people who wish to take advantage of the close of the tax year with additional deduc tions," he stated. Giving is the seventh largest industry in the United States today. Cur rently, annual giving ex ceeds $32 billion and another $27 billion is given in volunteer time. Ac cording to Edgerton, more than $400 million was given I in North Carolina in 1977. r The Solicitation Licensing t Branch regulates about < $145 million of this amount. J MAST expands RALEIGH - The MAST helicopter program operating out of Fort Bragg has extended its air transportation service for critically ill or injured pa* tients to cover the entire state. Prior to the extension, MAST (Military Assis tance to Safety and Traf fic) operated only in a 100 mile radius of Fort Bragg. According to Steve Acai, assistant chief in charge of transportation for the N.C. Office of Emergency Medical Services, MAST has been providing transporation for the critical patients needing major medical care since 1972. In 1973, MAST joined forces with the Office of Emergency Medical Ser vices which provides them with some financial and administrative support. "MAST has flown more than 600 missions since starting in 1972," said Acai. "They now average about one mission per day. Around 70 percent of the patients are high risk mothers and distressed in fants needing transporta tion to major medical Detachment of the U.S. Army at Fort Bragg, under the command of Major James Bunch. Dr. Herbert J. Proctor, head of the Department of Surgery's Trauma Unit at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, is the MAST coordinating physician for the entire state. He is responsible for determin ing when emergency air transportation is needed. Acai noted that while 19 counties in eastern North Carolina recently organiz ed a helicopter serivce for their area, MAST provides transportation if a patient must be transported to a hosptial outside of the 19 county area. Fort Bragg is one of 27 active military sites hav ing such a program in the nation.
