Increase Over Last Time
82 Pints Of Blood
Given During Drive
A total of 82 pints of blood
was collected by the Atlanta
chapter of the American
Red Cross when it held a
blood drive at the Forsyth
County Courthouse on
Thursday, Sept. 18.
According to Dale Bryant,
chairman of the blood (hive,
“We’re super pleased with
the showing this time over
last time.” Only 50 pints
were collected when the Red
Cross visited Forsyth
County on June 5.
Commenting on the 32 pint
increase, Bryant said, “As
long as we can keep this
thing in an upswing, I’ll feel
really good about it.”
The set goal of 90 donors
was met when 90 persons

New Manager
The Cumming Rollerama, located off Highway 20 at Georgia
400, has some new owners as of several weeks ago, Cheryl
and Randall Pirkins of Winder. And with the change, there
also comes a new manager, Chuck Cook of Forsyth County,
pictured above in the Rollerama’s sound control booth. Cook,
who recently took over his new duties, says the Rollerama
will continue to offer wholesome recreation for children and
adults. “It’s the kind of clean, well-lighted place parents will
want to take their kids,” he says. (News staff photo by Lane

collected, eight persons
were deferred for various
medical reasons.
Adding the number of
pints of blood collected at
this recent drive to the num
ber collected during the Red
Cross’s last three visits, a to
tal of 225 pints of blood have
been donated in Forsyth
County over a one-year pe
riod.
Bryant compares this fig
ure to the 248 pints of blood
that were administered at
the Forsyth County Hospital
in 1979. “We, the people of
Forsyth County, are taking
in more (blood) than we're
donating back,” he says.

the American population
gives blood at least once in
their lifetime, only four per
cent give blood regularly. In
Forsyth County, though,
based on past donation fig
ures, Bryant figures that
less than one per cent of For
syth Countians give regu
larly.
Headquarted at 1925 Mon

regional collections must to
tal 750-800 units of volunteer
donated blood each weekday
to supply the blood needs of
patients in 118 hospitals in 64
Georgia counties.
Bryant wishes to thank the
Forsyth County Hospital
Auxiliary for its assistance
with the blood drive.

FARM CHANGES
The population of the
United States reached about
50 million people 100 years
ago, and nearly half of
them—23 million—lived and
worked on farms. And of all
the persons gainfully em
ployed back then, 49 per
cent—nearly one of every
two—worked in agriculture.
Today, the farm population
is 6.5 million—about three
percent of the total. Only one
of every 34 Americans now
lives and works on a farm.
