Cleveland County Firemen Assist Red Cross Project The Cleveland County Firemen’s Association at a recent meeting took up a col- lection to benefit the Cleveland County Chapter of the American Red Cross and presented them with a $117 donation. They also voted to sponsor a 45 channel scanner ‘“give-away’’ with the draw- ing to be held on July 4, at Cleveland Volunteer Fire Department at 12 Noon. All [rocecss will be given to the ocal Red Cross Chapter to help with vehicle replace- ment of the 1977 Blood and Disaster Van. Donations are a minimum of $1.00 per ticket and these are available at any fire department in Cleveland County or by call- ing Roland Hamrick at 484-6848. the members of the Firemen’s Association prais- ed the work of the Red Cross Disaster Team, composed primarily of volunteers, who respond at all hours of the day or night to provide im- mediate emergency help to fire families. They also pro- vide first aid and canteen for the firefighters when notified by Cleveland County Emergency Services. Martha Scruggs, Red Cross Executive Director, stated, “The Red Cross is ranked as the number one emergency care organization in the United States. The lines of service include disaster and one-family disasters; blood for medical emergencies; health & safety which provide skills to prevent or provide care in emergencies; transplantation which in- cludes collecting, processing and distribution of processed bone and tissue for major surgical procedures; and social services which in- cludes helping members of the armed forces and their families deal with personal and family emergencies, the homeless, transportation, youth, etc. Our major pro- grams demand expenditures of funds, time and energies. We are fortunate to receive the major portion of these funding needs from the two united ways in this county. Capital needs funding has been a problem and we have worked very hard this year to try and replace the outdated vehicles being used to pro- vide our emergency services. We have raised $12,000 of the $24,000 needed to replace the 1977 and 1978 vehicles in use at the present time. The decision of the firemen throughout Cleveland County to help the Red Cross with this urgent need is the most gratifying news we have had since their call. They have always been most ap- preciative of red cross help and we have had great volunteers responding eager- ly because of their admira- tion for this group in the dangerous, exhausting pro- fession as firemen.” Esther Mill Employee Wins Disney The Esther Mill Athletic and Assistance Fund recently made a contribution to the Cleveland County Chapter of the American Red Cross for fundraising to replace vehicles. This was done through the ‘Disney World Get-A-Way”’ Vacation Trip tickets with the winner being The Esther Mill Athletic and Assistance Fund. World Trip Esther Mill then had a drawing for all full-time employees who participate'in this ‘fund ‘and Jackie Poston won. He“plans to’ take this family outing when travel ar- rangements are completed. This Red Cross fundraiser proceeds will be used to help replace the 1977 Blood and Disaster Van and the 1978 wagon used to provide Red Cross services. Religious Viewpoint By CLYDE DUPIN Startling Facts About Aids Many people are not willing to face the tragic truth that AIDS is the natural result of sin gone wild in our nation. Already, more than 15,000 Americans have died from this incurable disease. Most of the AIDS victims are homosexuals, but drug users and even heterosexuals are becoming victims, In the next week, Beton to ‘U.S. News and World Report,’’ 220 people will die of AIDS; and 374 more will be infected with the killer virus. Many reliable sources believe the gay activists have persuaded the physicians and the news media to cover up the true extent of the AIDS epidemic in the United States. In cities like San Francisco and New York with large homosexual populations, AIDS is now the eading cause of death for men in their twenties and thirties. Some reports in- dicate that up to four million Americans may be carriers of the deadly virus. AIDS is 40 times as deadly as the deadliest diseases heretofore known. Dr. John Seale of the British Royal Society of Medicine, says, ‘‘AIDS has. the capability to wipe out the entire human race.” The U.S. Public Health Service has now declared AIDS a raging epidemic. Surgeon General Everett Koop says there is no known way to stop it from killing, perhaps millions. AIDS is the result of sin and ‘moral depravity. This raging epidemic means good people will suffer with the bad. It is past time that churches speak out against the conse- quences of sin. The Vatican has issued a document that firmly denounces all homosexual activity as morally evil. The church must, lovingly in the name of Christ, minister to the homosexuals and victims of AIDS, but never condone i God has declared to be evil. ; Homecoming At Penley’s Homecoming Day at Penley’s Chapel Methodist Church will be held Sunday. Rev. George Leigh will fill the pulpit at the 11 a.m. wor- ship hour and dinner on the grounds will follow at 12:30. “The Hearts of Ranlo” of Gastonia will be featured singers at the song service after lunch. Rev. W. L. Huffstetler, pastor, said that all members, former members and friends are invited to par- ticipate in the special events of the day. | | !
