Here Are Some Answers To
Red Cress Blood Questions
Everytime the Red Cross
Bloodmobile visits Newton
County there are several ques
tions that pop up. Here is the
answer to many of those ques
tions:
What does the Greater At
lanta Red Cross Regional Blood
Program Do?
1. It supplies the blood mo
dern medical practice requires
for patients in the 65 Civilian
and Government hospitals in the
Greater Atlanta Region. . . al
most 50,000 pints yearly, . .
at NO CHARGE for the blood
itself. (Blood is automatically
available to all hospitals, how
ever, at Crawford Long, Ga.
Baptist, Grady Memorial, and
certain other hospitals outside
Atlanta, blood supplied by Red
Cross must be requested by the
patient or his family.)
2. It replaces blood received
by residents of the Greater At
lanta Region in many hospitals
throughout the United States.
How Is This Done?
The total amount of blood,
50,000 pints yearly, is given by
residents of the Greater At
lanta Region at about 400 mo
bile unit visits and at the Red
Cross Blood Center. Red Cross
Chapters assisted by Employee
groups, Service Clubs, College
Groups, Military Installations,
Veterans Organizations and
other Community Groups re
cruit volunteer donors. After
typing and testing at the Red
Cross Blood Center, this blood
is shipped to hospitals ready for
instant use if- you, your family,
or friends should need it.
A specially trained staff, assist
ed by volunteers, makes giving
blood a safe and pleasant ex
perience.
Who May Give Blood?
Any healthy person between
the ages of 18 and 59 inclusive.
Unmarried minors (under 21)
must present written parental
permission for each donation,
unless in military service. Don
ors are permitted to give blood
only once every eight weeks,
but no oftener than 5 times in
any 12 month period.
Is There A Charge For Blood?
No charge is EVER made for
Red Cross blood itself, since it
is given by volunteer donors.
If you require a blood transfu
sion, a charge will be made by
your hospital to cover the nec
essary typing, “crossmatching”,
and other laboratory tests safe
guarding the transfusion. This
charge varies and is set by the
hospital. The Red Cross and
the hospitals in the region have
recently negotiated an agree
ment wherein the hospitals will
pay a part of the cost of collect
ing, processing and transport
ing the blood they require.
Does Georgia Compare?
EIGHT-STATE TAX SURVEY
BY GTRF TO TELL RESULTS
The Georgia Tax Research Foundation, Inc.. Fri
day, wiß announce the results of its first research proj
ect—a comprehensive study of the tax structures of
eight southeastern states.
G. Everett Millican, foundation
chairman, said the project will
poinpomt Georgia’* position, tax
wiae, in the running competition
among area states for industrial
expansion.
Mil bean said the study wiH be
presented at
noon to the
foundation’s
16 trustees and
made public
immediately
afterward.
Five months
of staff work
went into pre
paring the
analysis, he
wk
MILLICAN
•aid.
The research foundation, which
grew out of a tax committee of
the Associated Industries of
Georgia and is still closely allied
with the AIG, began forming in
February and has been at work
for the past 90 days. Olan Rich
ardson, AIG president, and Clif
ford M. Clarke, AIG executive
▼ ice president, both are members
•f the foundation’s board of
trustees.
The GTRF was established,'
Millican said, to probe “in depth,
ail tax matters that affect the
industrial economy of Georgia—
The Covington Enterprise, Established in 1864 — The Covington Star, Established in 1874 and The Citizen-Observer, Established in 1953
There is no charge for the blood
itself and the hospital’s share of
the expenses involved is $3.00
a pint. This kind of agree
ment was initiated in 1954, and
is now in effect in 45 of t h e
Nation’s Red Cross blood cen
ters. It enables the Red Cross
to continue its truly vital pro
gram of supplying blood.
Is Blood Ever Wasted?
NEVER. Blood not used in 21
days, is processed into rare
and valuable blood derivatives.
Suppose I Need Blood Out
side The Atlanta Region?
This program will attempt to
replace blood you receive in any
United States hospital. The only
requirements are that you be a
resident of the Greater Atlan
ta Region, that the hospital be
willing to accept replacements
and that you notify your Red
Cross, giving full details re
garding the name and address
of the hospital, the dates when
the transfusions were received,
and the type of blood supplied.
However, the major emphasis
will be to meet the needs of
hospitals within the Region.
Replacement will be made on
the basis of one pint for each
pint transfused.
What Does The Red Cross
Blood Program Mean To Me?
Because the Greater Atlanta
Region collects almost 50,000
pints of blood each year, it
means availability of large
quantities of blood. . .which in
turn means availability of
specific types of blood. (Only
one person in two hundred has
AB negative blood) It means
no charge for the blood itself.
It means that replacement is
on the basis of moral respon
sibility. (Many hospitals where
there is no Red Cross Program
demand a two for one replace
ment.) It provides you with an
opportunity, as a regular do
nor, to be a valuable member of
a truly worthwhile community
project.
Senior Tri-Hi-Y
Holds First
Meeting of Year
The first meeting of the Sen
ior Tri-Hi-Y of Newton Coun
ty High School for the school
year 1960-61, was held Sep
tember 7.
Jackie Latham, president,
called the meeting to order and
Helen Masten gave the treasur
er’s report.
Sandra Tussle gave a very
inspiring devotional. Lanelle
Hudson led the members in a
discussion on going steady. The
meeting was closed with the
singing of songs led by Sandra

Martha Jane House.

The foundation official said the
, GTRF sees it principal note as
that of a data-gathering agency
, on tax proposals and public ex
penditures. And then to educate
Ute general public when GTRF
research indicates that the most
is not being realized from publie
funds.
“The foundation has three
goals,” Millican said:
“To see an equitable applica
tion of the taxing power.
“To use its influence to help
obtain an economic expenditure
of tax money.
“And to get a fair distribution
of government services and bene
fits."
To accomplish these aims, Mil
lican said the GTRF will carry its
case “to the general public, state
legiealtors and officiate charged
with administering state and lo
cal government."
The foundation’s approach,
however, will be “absolutely non
partisan and non-political,” Milli
can said. “We hope to see our re
• search projects produce fact and
information that can be accepted
as authoritative by the public and
those in positions of leadership.”

Newlon County
Fair Opening
Set Sept. 26th
Extensive plans are being
made for the 1960 Newton
County Fair the week of Sep
tember 26 through Saturday,
October 1 at Legion Field in
Covington.
One of the innovations sche
duled for the fair this year is
that opening night (Monday)
has been designated as Ladies
Night and all women will be
admitted free to the grounds,
according to an announcement
by American Legion Command
er C. T. Bohanan.
Officials of Post 32 Ameri
can Legion have also announc
ed that they have obtained the
“cleanest and best” carnival on
the road for the midway at the
fair this year.
It is the World’s Fair Show,
under ownership of James H.
Drew. It‘s a return engagement
for the show, which played at
the fair last year.
No stranger in this area is
the advance representative,
Frank J. Lee, a newspaperman
from Texas, whose father was a
former Wisconsin publisher.
Lee is one of the few who
hasn’t become encompassed in
the modern trend of being call
ed a public relations man. He’s
very insistent that he’s a press
agent for James H. Drew’s
World’s Fair Shows that’ll be
setting down on the fair
grounds.
Although comfortably en
sconed in “San Antone” (that’s
the way he says it), Lee has
about all he can do as a personal
emissary of his city, Chamber
of Commerce publicity man,
promoter of the Ice Follies, City
Symphony and others in his
stable for press agentry, but
he can’t resist the call of the
calliope, and the chant of t h e
midway barker when show sea
son rolls around. He left his fa
ther’s newspaper office in Mil
waukee 50 years ago hit the
tan bark trail, and he’s still go
ing strong.
Well, anyway, Lee is back in
town, getting everything set for
the big opening of the midway
at the fair.
He promises nothing of an ob
jectionable character in t h e
midway, but does promise more
than 40 attractions and high
speed rides for young in heart
and young in years.
New to fairgoers of Newton
County will be a 60-foot at
traction known as the “para
trooper.”
Neon - lighted in red, white
and blue colors, Lee says “it’s a
thriller,” and one of 17 rides to
be offered.
A second ride which made its
debut at the 1959 edition of the
fair will also be in evidence.
The rock-o-plane evoked much
comment during its initial ap
pearance last year.
Taffy apples, cotton eandy
popcorn, peanuts and carnival
atmosphere will permeate the
midway during the week-long
fair.
Coach McLaney
Speaker At
Gamma Tri-Hi-Y
The Gamma - Tri -Hi - Y of
Newton County High School
held its first meeting Septem
ber 7. After the meeting was
called to order by the new
president, Joyce Hudspeth, the
guest speaker was Coach Mc-
Laney, football coach.
He gave a very interesting
and informational talk on foot
ball. Since this is football sea
son we wanted to know all the
rules, techniques and techni
cal names of a football game.
Carol Hitchcock then gave
a very inspirational devotion
al. It dealt with a text from one
of Peter Marshall’s sermons.
The usual business was then
carried on with reports of the
officers. It was announced by
Elizabeth Ann Greer that (or
one of our projects old maga
zines would be sent to the
county jail and state hospital.
A song ended the first meet
ing of the Gamma-Tri-Hi-Y
for the year 1960-61.
