WHY GIVE BLOOD?
Continued From First Page
as the fact that your blood
could very well be the pint that
saves a person’s life.”
“I have had people ask me to
donate blood for some member
of their family or friend and it
makes me feel good to know
that I am helping someone
else.”
One of the most regular
contributors is Dr. Bailey
Crockarell, Jackson dentist,
who admitted that I “give for I
want to have blood available
for my family plus the fact it’s
important for the community
to have blood available for the
little charge that is made for it.
To me the whole thing is a
community spirited concept. I
feel we should be able to pitch
in and help someone when they
need us and I think we all share
a sense of community pride in
achieving our goal.”
“A blood supply should be
available when we need it. It
can save lives if we have a
supply readily available.”

er regular contributor and

THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
owner and operator of a
successful jewelry store, sees
the blood program “as a joint
community effort because
citizens of the community
should want to put something
into it rather than taking
something from the commun
ity all the time.”
“It takes so little to help
someone else live and this is
exactly what one does when a
pint of blood is donated. It’s a
good feeling to know you’re
helping someone else and it’s
entirely conceivable that the
blood one gives might also
come home and be used by
members of the donor’s family.
I like the catchy phrase ‘give so
someone may live’. Blood is the
supreme gif t and when we have
given it we have done our
best.”
The Bloodmobile will be at
the National Guard Armory on
Franklin Street on Monday,
April 2nd, from 1-5:30 p.m.
John Billy Long, blood recruit
ment chairman, states that the
county will be in serious
trouble if it fails to meet its 138
pint quota on that date. He
urges all who will to make
plans to donate blood and help
maintain eligibility on the free
whole blood program for Butts
County.

White Male,
Afoot, Robs
Biles Station
A bold white male about six
feet tall with sandy hair
strolled casually into the
Standard Service Station,
owned and operated by
Maurice Biles, on West Third
Street, and asked could he use
the restroom. Permission was
granted by Keith Rogers,
son-in-law of Mr. Biles, who
was working on a car outside
the station about 1:20 o’clock.
He saw the young man going
toward the restroom and come
back inside the station for a
very short minute, then
emerge and walk down Third
Street toward town. This on
Friday afternoon about 1:30
o’clock.
Avery short time later,
probably about five minutes, a
gas customer drove up with
Rogers going into the station to
make change when he noticed
that all money was missing
from the cash register.
Rogers said that the young
man was wearing a blue
uniform and a brown felt hat
but when police were advised
of the robbery an all-out search
in Jackson failed to turn up the
suspected subject.
Monday morning no arrest
had been made in the robbery
but investigation was con
tinuing.
“Inflation is what makes
balloons bigger and candy
bars smaller.” (Changing
Times)
BOND SALES
ARE OFF TO
GOOD START
Mrs. Elizabeth H. Watkins,
Chairman of the Butts County
U.S. Savings Bonds Committee
reports that the citizens of
Butts County placed $5,388 in
Savings Bonds during January.
Marvin L. Summers, State
Director for Georgia, an
nounced that Georgians placed
$7,034,422 in Savings Bonds for
January. This compares with
$6,428,079 for January, 1972.
Nationally, sales of E & H
Bonds (at issue price) amount
ed to $561 million, 8 percent
above sales for January, 1972
and a 17-year peak. Bond sales
exceeded redemptions at Cost
Price, for the 28th consecutive
month. The cash value of
Series E and H Bonds and
Freedom Shares outstanding
reached an all time high of
$58.4 billion.
Mrs. Watkins reminds the
citizens that dollars that would
have been spent had they not
been saved through Payroll
Savings or the Bond-a-Month
Plan at our bank cannot, very
logically, lose value through
inflation. In other words these
savings are a plus -and, they
provide every American with a
weapon in our fight against
inflation.
