TUNNELL of Swan Qu.arter is one of four North Carolina Extension- home ocoixomists to receive a distin guished service award at the N.ational Association of Exten sion Home Economists annual meeting in Jackson, Muss., which begins Sunday, Oct. 22. Mr.s. Tunnoll, who has givcn almost 1.3 years of service to Hyde County rc.^idcnls, nnll be cited for the fine aging pro gram she h.os developed. She aided in the preparation of meanii gful educational pro grams for the aged and helped form a County Council on Ag ing. A graduate in home cconomi- ies from Ea.st Carolina Univer- sit.v, Greenville, Mrs. Tunncll was assistant extension agent in Nash Coui.-ty and worked .See AVt'ARD, Page Four With a considerable deficit for the Tidewater Red .Cross blood center. Dare County citi zens are being requested to meet a goal of 109 pints when the Blodclmcbile visits Wednes day. 'It will be Ideated at Maji- teo High Scho-ol from 11 am. until 4 p.iu. It is not known exactly .what the deficit totals to date, but .-is of Anril 15, the Tidewater chapter had a deficit of 2289 pints. Dare County’s quota for 1967-68 is 32G pint.s. On both of the prior visits, March 6 at Cape Hattoras and May 8 in Manteo, the quotas have not been met. Quota is based entirely , on, blood usage by residents of the D.are chapter over a three-year period and is riot an arbitrary figure assigned by the chapter. “There is no substitute for blood,’’ reminds Joe Hume, chairman of the Dare. Red Cross chapter. “It remains the re- ■sponsibility. of respective . com munities to supply the life- maintaining fluid,’’ the chair man said. During the period May through October 9, 1967, 116 pints have been consumed by Dare Counlains—83 to one per son. Citizens would do well to con sider carefully, and if eligible, to freely donate to sustain the program. Some frequent ques tions: WHO CAN GIVE BLOOD? Anyone 18 to 60 years old. People under 21, unless married or in- the armed forces, must have written consent of their parents. . . - HOW DO I KNOW I CAN DONATE? A-brief physical— temperature, pulse, blood pres- : sure, hemoglobin check—along ; with a medical history, -makes ' sin-e you’re in condition to give blood. A doctor and nurses supervise the donation process. HOW OFEN CAN 1 DON- I ATE? As often as evei-y two months, but no more than five tinie.s a year. WHO WILL GET MY BLOOD? The one who needs it. It may .save the life of an ac cident victim or a hemophiliac (bleeder), or it -may be given to someone during open heart •surgery. There is no subsitutc for whole, fresh blood. WILL THIS PERSON HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BLOOD? Not for the blood itself. The hospital does, charge a fee for partial processing, for ci-oss- matching and for administering the blood. This i.s far less than the $22 to $75 a pint patients n-.ust pay for commercial blocnl. HOW LONG DOES BLOOD KEEP? Whole blood can be used for transfusions for only 21 day.s after donation. After that, however, it’s still valuable when processed into derivatives, such as scrum albumin, gamma globulin, fibrinogen and others. These keep indefinitely and are useful in treating many dis eases.

The crowded docket contained a mish-mash of cases including drunken driving, trespass, breaking and entering, petty larceny, non-support, speeding, and a serio-comic assault of three girls upon another. The more-than-usual number of cases was built up because of a vacation .sclicdulc and an ad journment out of respect for the late Judge Washington F. Baum.

Snow said Wednes day the war in Vietnam, lack of equipment, and not enough local cooperation were hampering the Corps of Engineers-. in developing civil works projects along the Outer Banks. Snow, head of the Wilming ton District of the corps, re viewed authorized and artici- pated projects in a meeting with some members of the Dare county board of commissioners and interested citizens. He explained that the big hopper dredge Hyde is not now busy clearing sand from the channel at Oregon Inlet because it has been doing vital work in Vietnam harbors. He noted also that it is a long distance from Southeast Asia to Oregon In let. A similar dredge, the Ly man, is not here because it is doing vital work elsewhere oii the southeast coast and is not now available. Furthermore, the ■Lyman is expected to get to its homo port in the Great Lakes before the big connect ing link, the St Lawrence Seaway, is closed by cold weather and ice forms in up per reaches of the lakes. Dare County fishermen have said that unless the Inlet; is cleared of the summer’s ac cumulation of sand and an adequate channel opened, they will lose thousands of dollars because of inability to utilize to best advantage their boats during the lush \vinter fishing season. Snow'said there are rjo big. dredges other-'than the Hyde and the Lyman available to clear sand from the Inlet be tween the Atlantic and'Pamlico Sound so that large fishing boats can ply.their trade in this area But Snow said the smaller' dredge Merritt, now tied up in. the inlet, will stay here and' dredge until the project dimeri-1 sions of the Inlet are restored. ■ “The Jlerritt will stay until T am satisfied it has done the job,” Snow said. Since the Merritt got here in September there have been 12 gocKl dredging days during which some 37,000 cubic yards of sand were moved from the Inlet bar. Snow estimated the dredging job could be complete* satisfactorily in 30 good dredg- Sce INLET, Page Six OVER $85,000 : DARE CO.
