Red Cross Drive
Opened Officially

President Eisenhower opened
the 1858 American Red Cross drive
for funds on March l with a call
for generous support A goal of
95 million dollars has been set
nationally.
The President pointed out that
the Red Cross had used up all its
disaster reserve funds and that
there was now a critical shortage
of funds for national emergencies.
The President said the agency had
been confronted with an almost
unbroken series of natural dis
aSters in almost every part of the
country during the last two and
one-half years.
Locally the roll call was
launched Tuesday night at meet
ing of Red Cross officials at Ac-
cident. Frank O'Conner, district
director, Alexandria, Va, was the
speaker.
Mrs. Grover G. Stemple, blood
recruitment chairman for the Red
Cross, emphasized that 80 cents of
every dollar raised locally in the
Red Cross drive is used for the
blood program.
She said the cost of the blood
program included bringing the
nurses and other officials from
Johnstown, the expense of cross
matching and tipping of blood, the
preparation of the blood at Johns
town and the cost of transporta-
ton to the local hospital. Local
people volunteer their services
and there is no charge for the
blood itself when sent to hospitals.
Where people have to pay for
blood in hospitals where the Red
Cross program is not effective, it
costs as much as SIS per pint.
When blood is sent for emergency
cases it means cost of $3.50 for
trip to Somerset, Pa, but the
local hospital has been taking care
of that expense.
Mrs. Stemple expressed the hope
that the people would give gener-
ously to the Red Cross campaign.

aries larger than "a inch are
hardly feasible because of the
great weight necessary for
safety to the operator.
Since most gardeners buy
power mowers, the question was
asked as to the best kind OF
engine, BICYCLE or 4-cycle? Gen.
orally speaking the 4-cycle en-
CINE has the longest trouble

straight gas. There are four
or five major companies build

have standardized them to a
considerable degree. Parts and

the problem Of obtaining dis

South.
Be sure to use a starting
media free of the damping-ofl
disease which destroys the
seedlings. Sterilized> soil, pull.

this purpose. Grow the seed
