Your Hospital Nows
To The People Of Forsyth County:
Our BLOOD BANK is just about
on the rocks. We are getting fur
ther behind with our program. We
just received in the mail, a notice
that we have already used our
blood that was collected to date,
and have over drawn by six pints.
Therefore, we are in debt to The
American Red Cross Blood Bank
in Atlanta. So we are starting early
in our recruitment of blood for the
drive this time, which is January
7, 1960.
We have been delinquent in our
quoto for the past three times and
will be dropped from the bank if
we do not meet our quoto this
time. We need this service very
badly at our hospital. We are beg
ging all people who have had
friends or relative? to receive blood
to come by and register to give a
pint of blood on January 7, 1960.
We need this information so that
we may give the officials in At
lanta some idea of our response
this time.
PLEASE COME BY AND REGIS
TER. LET’S MAKE THIS ONE
THE BIGGEST DRIVE EVER.

Lockheed Aircraft Corporation
Georgia Division employees have
donated their 50,00 th pint of blood
to the Red Cross Blood Mobile
since the plant was established at

AB Negative tvpe blood to a visit
ing Blood Mobile. Smith has given
7 1-2 gallons of blood.
The Red Cress, which depends
uppon the United campaign for
support, makes possible the blood
banks and blood mobiles in this
area and throughout the nation.
“Hunred of lives have been sav
ed bv the Metropolitan Area Blood
Bank which serves hospitals in this
area,” Bill Rieke. assistant general
manager at Lockheed, said. "With
a United Appeal Community
Services and Red Cross cam
paign now going on, it is appro
priate that a Lockheed employee
should donate the 50,000 th pint of
blood given by our group to the
blood bank. This North Georgia
area is fortunate in being one of
the few areas in the nation where
public spirited citizens maintain
such a large blood bank.”
Lockheed’s Georgia plant em
ployees led every industrial group
in the nation in their donations of
blood in 1954 and 1956. They have
been second only to the employees
of Lockheed’s California Divsion in
giving blood every year since 1952.

Cumming Georgia, Thursday, Nov., 12th, 1959.
IN ME MORI AM
"Killed in Action,” the message read.
In an anguished cry, the parents said:
“How can we go on, how can we live?
Our only son we’ve had to give."
A father and mother now old and gray
Slowly wend their weary way
To sit by his grave on Memorial Day.
And to others around, they gently say:
“Walk softly, my friends, this is sacred ground,”
Brave soldiers are sleeping in graves all around.
Soldiers who fought for us, bled and died,
So that in peace we walk, side by side.
Too many white crosses are planted around,
Too many young men sleep under the ground.
Young men who loved life, as you and I,
Were called into service and then had to die.
Many were shot down in a foreign land,
They had fought bravely, even hand to hand,
We brought them back home, to sleep in peace
Till God takes command and fighting shall cease.
Heart-broken mothers pray again ar.d again
That their bebloved sons did not die in vain.
That their comrades and buddies will carry on
Until the coming of a peaceful dawn.
That future generations will not have to fight
For Liberty and Love, their inherited right.
That peoples of every race and creed
Will work together for all in need.
Let us never forget the debt they have paid
And the terrible sacrifice of life they made.
Help us, dear Lord, to live a good life,
Remembering loved ones who d*V in, the strife.
Walk softly and say a fervent prayer
That peace at last will be everywhere,
That nations will unite and be as one
In brotherhood under the stars and the sun.
Dry your eyes, mothers, shed no more tears,
Your boys will be sleeping through all the years.
You loved them well, God loved them best;
So he called them home to Eternal Rest.
—LILLIAN B. GUNNELL

Georgia Traffic Death
Increases Mostly
Inside of Cities
ATLANTA, (GPS) A definite im
provement has been noted in Geor
gia’s traffic death toll out on the
open roads but not in the city

This fact is revealed in the lat
est consolidated statistics compiled
by the Georgia Department of Pub
lic Safety’s Accident Reporting
Division, just released by Col. Wil
liam P. Trotter, director.
Covering the first ten months
of this year, the report showed
that 802 persons were killed in
accidents compared with 762 last
year, an increase. of 40 fatalities
or a plus five per cent. October
dropped by 19 per cent.
Of this total, 178 deaths occur
red within the city limits of cities
and towns with a population of
500 or more, where the State Pa
trol has no jurisdiction. This com
pares with 139 in the same period
last year, an increase of 39 fatali
ties, or 28 per cdht.
On the other hand, according to
the report, traffic deaths in the
rural or open-road areas increased

Cravey Approves
Merit Plan For
Georgia Drivers
ATLANTA—Safe automobile driv
ers in Georgia will save up to 44
per cent on their annual Insurance
premiums under a merit plan ap
proved byb Insurance Commission
er Zack D. Cravey.
The plan gives the insured credit
for the number of years he has
driven without an accident, up to
1 a maximum of five year, Commis
sioner Cravey said.
It is being offered by Springfield
Fire and Marine Insurance Com
pany and its affiliates. Commis
sioner Cravey said he also had
filings from other companies under
consideration.
Cravey explained the Springfield
"autopolicy" provides broad, com
prehensive coverage including lia
bility, collision, medical pay and
accidental death benefits. •
Premiums, hereported, will be
based on the experience of the safe
drivers’ group as well as the indi
vidual record of the insured.
Commissioner Cravey declared
the merit plan which has been put
into satisfactory effect in several
states during the ppast year has
heen a pet project of his since as
far back as 1951.
“In that year,” he stated, “I
advocated it before the National
Association of Insurance Commis
sioners meeting in New York. De
spite the, fact that I emphasized
such a plpan was the only equit
able and practicable approach to
automobile insurance I was not
ioo warmly received. I am happy
that the industry at last is giving
those deserving a ‘break’ and ‘let
ting each tub sit on its own bot
tom. ’ ”
