MCDOWELL COUNTY
STILL LEADS
BLOOD PROGRAM

The monthly report of the Ashe-
vile Regional Blood Center recent
1y sent out to all chapter chairmen
and other officials shows that Nc
Dowell county still leads all coun-
ties outside of Bunconbe in the
number of pints of blood contri-
buted to the Blood Program since
its inception. Through October,
this county had contributed 2S5
pints of blood. This was collected
in four visits of the bloodmobile to
the county. These visits were to
East Marion, Old Fort, community
building in Marion, and Cross Mill.
The record for number of pints of
blood received in one visit in this
region is held by East Marion. In
the four visits, this county has con-
tributed 475%o of it's quota for the
year. The quota is 600 pints, to be
taken in eight visits. Only one
other chapter of the Red Cross has

county, and that is the Black Noun
tain chapter, which had quota of
500 pints. During October, the
bloodmobile visited Cross Mill, and
had 81 volunteers processed, from
Sc pints of blood were taken. Up
until this visit, Mcdowell led the
United States in the smallest per-
centage of reflections of volun-
teers. This is record of which we
are proud.
The next visit of the bloodmo-
bile to Mcdowell will be on De-
cember 7, at which time it will be
located in the Clinchfield commu-
nifty. Community chairman for the
Blood Program there is Miss Marie

, tai value of eggs produced was

! cord over the same period Of time
with 274 birds averaging 22O.4
per bird. Feed cost was S1,627.45.
