Local News Perquimans county to host bloodmobile Perquimans County will host it's fi nal Bloodmobile of fiscal year 1986-87 on "Tuesday, June 16th, 3 p.m. to 7 pm at the Hertford United Method ist Church. The county goal for Bloodmobile collections for this year is. 300 pints. To date 155 pints have been donated at the four Bloodmo biles between September, 1986 and April, 1987. Donations have dropped dramatically in Perquimans County according to Red Cross representa tive Helen Barnes. She said the aver age number of donors at Hertford Bloodmobiles has dropped from 70 to 30. The students and staff at Perqui mans High School donate more at their Bloodmobile than the entire community does at Hertford United Methodist Church. Red Cross Bloodmobiles are the only source of blood for S3 hospitals in our area. When donors stay away from Bloodmobiles these hospitals are unable to meet their patients' need for blood, latere is already a shortage of O- negative blood in these hospitals and summer has hardly be gun. Most people never think about the possiblity that blood might not be available if they should ever need it. It will only be there if people support Red Cross Bloodmobiles. If you are between 17 and 70, weigh at least 110 lbs. and are in general good health, you can probably donate blood. Take an hour and give your gift of life so that it will always be there!

Guidance will be provided by mentor teachers and monthly seminars. The program concludes in the sum mer of 1968 with enrollment in courses needed to complete certifica tion requirements. Participants will receive salaries for teaching, but will be expected to pay for tuition and books.
