In County This Month
Every 20 seconds last year some hospital patient re
ceived transfusion of blood supplies by his fellow Americans
through the Red Cross, M. H. Waggoner, blood program
chairman of the Newton Chapter, reported here this week.
"And if the country’s ill and injured are to continue to be
provided with the blood they ।
j will require this year,” he said, i
। “one of every 20 persons between
■ the ages of 18 and 60 will need
ito make at least one blood do-
I nation in 1954”.
| During 1953, Waggoner re-I
ported, Red Cross collected blood ।
for civilian use at the rate of i
145,000 pints a month. The or- ■
ganization also provided blood j
j for defense purposes at the rate ।
of 167,000 pints a month, in- j
eluding approximately 30,000
pints collected monthly by com
munity blood banks, which co
operated through August 31 in
the defense collection program.
Red Cross blood is made availa
ble without charge for the pro
duct. Patients have only to ask
their doctors to use Red Cross
blood, Waggoner stated.
In addition, the Red Cross pro
vided the Office of Defense Mo
bilization with more than 9,000,-
000 cc’s of gamma globulin dur
ing 1953 to be used in the treat
ment of measles and infectious
jaundice, and as a weapon a
gainst paralysis from polio.
The entire Red Cross Blood
Program is costing $17,071,800 in
the current fiscal year, Waggoner
stated. For the 1954-55 fiscal year
—for which funds are pow being
collected—sl4,6o7,6oo is budget
ed.
Every minute around the
clock, Waggoner said, 36 patients
check into the nation’s hospitals.
One in five needs a pint of
blood. Os an estimated 4,000,000
pints of blood used for this
purpose, the Red Cross last year
supplied about 40 nercent. The
remainder was provided by in
dividual hospital and other blood
banks.
In emphasizing urgent need
for blood for civilian use, Wag
goner pointed out that last year
ninety times as many Americans
suffered accidental injuries as
were wounded in three years
; of the Korean war. Wounded in
K0rea—103,492: injured in acci
| dents—9,6oo.ooo.
One person was injured in a
motor vehicle accident every 23
I seconds: one suffered occupation
al injury every 16 seconds; and
! one was injured in a home acci
dent every 7 seconds.
“As the nation's largest blood
collecting agency,” Waggoner
j stated, “the Red Cross has major
responsibility for meeting the
I blood need reulting from this
accident toll and from the wide
use of whole blood in general
medical and surgical practice.
• “To accomplish this, we have
redoubled our donor recruitment
efforts; we have encouraged |
more economic use of blood
through research; and we have
opened the way for more Red
Cross chapters to participate ac
tively in the blood program.
“By these efforts, and with
continued support of the medical
profession and blood-donating
public, we feel confident that
every blood need will be met in
the year ahead.”
The campaign for American
Red Cross membership and funds
in Newton County in presently
underway. This phase of the
program is under the direction
of Herbet Katz in Newton Coun
ty, John Fuller, chapter chair
man said.
Waggoner said that the Blood
mobile will be in Newton County
on April 19 (Porterdale) and
April 20 (Covington).

World Day of Prayer Observed
Friday by Representative Group
PORTERDALE — A repre
| sentative group • of Christians
from many churches in Newton
County observed the World Day
of Prayer with an impressive
service at the First Methodist
Church in Covington on Fri :
day morning, March 5, at ten
o'clock. The sanctuary was light
ed by candelabras and soft
! strains of organ music were ren
j dered by Mrs. M. E. Goode, as
■ the group assembled.
Mrs. Walter Murphy gave the
call to Worship and invited each
> one to share in singing the hymn,
“We Gather Together.” The Rev.
I M. B. Dendy led the invocation.
I Words of welcome were beauti
fully expressed by Mrs. H. G.
Smith who is the president of
the Newton County Council of
Church Women.
' The congregation once again
lifted their voices together in
’ singing “Praise to the Lord.”
A very reverent meditation
period with the theme “That
They Might Have Life” was led
by Mrs. W. C. Wiley in which
she reminded the assemblage
that a similar service of prayer
was being observed in 18 coun
tries and in 19,000 communities
in America. Mrs., Wiley led in
a prayer.
The purpose of the World Day
of Prayer was presented by j
Mrs. Walter Murphy who then i
was the narrator for a dramati-1
zation entitled “These Others.” I
Those participating in the dra-'
matization were: Mrs. Aubra
Sherwood, Mrs. Fred Adams,
Mrs. Fred Hays, Mrs. Jack
Banks, Mrs. Virgil Eady, Mrs.
Cecil Allgood. Mrs. Robert Fowl
er Jr., Mrs. Hamby Barton, Mrs.

Mrs. Brooks Pennington, Jr., the j
Rev. Ralph Hawkins, the Rev. j
Walter Murphy, Mr. Jack Banks, I
George Barton, Meg Adams, |
Suzanne Adams, Byron Hays, j
and Bonnie Knight. Mrs. Doyle I
Smith and Mrs. Harold Adams
supervised the lights. This dra
matization impressed upon the
1 minds of all the needs for the
, sharing of Christ and the prac
tice of Christian principles in
I our relationships with other citi
: zens of our world.
An offering was received to

■ The scout executive praised the
adult leadership of the scouting
program in the Newton-Rockdale
' District and attributed much of I
the outstanding success made by
Scouts here to the leadership. He:
pointed out that he believes there
is no delinquent youth, but de-'
linquent parents or neighbors are
the explanation for so-called
juvenile delinquency.
Other adult scouters who were
at the meeting as guests are: C.
D. Ramsey Jr., chairman of the
Newton-Rockdale District; Harry
' Maner, district scout executive;
Carlos Meyer, camping and ac
tivies chairman for the district;

6,000 puonds of milke per cow

production rate at which dairy

assist with projects sponsored
by the World Day of Prayer of
fering. These projects include the
teaching of migrants, Indians,
and foreign students and the
provision of Christian literature
and literary material for use in
a number of foreign countries.
The congregation joined in
singing the Doxology and the
Rev. Walter Murphy led in a
prayer of dedication.
Every person prayed silently
for a few moments and the Rev.
Ralph Hawkins prayed the ben
ediction.
Christians left the church with
a new awareness of the world's
; needs and a new consciousness of
I how God can give “these others”
| life through our sharing for
; Him.
Mrs. James Knight and the
Rev. and Mrs. Walter Murphy
prepared the service.
