Bloodmobile At Covington Church Next Thursday
Donors Urgently Needed
The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will visit Cov
ington again on Thursday, September 26th. They will be
accepting donations of blood from 12 p. m. to 6 p. m. at the
First Baptist Church.
“We as a county have been en
joying the security of knowing
that, should the need arise, our
blood needs would be furnished
free of charge (for the blood it
self) by the Red Cross. We paid
for this security by our excellent
response to the call for donations
on June 20th. At that time our
goal was 200 pints of blood and
198 pints were collected from the
242 donors who responded,” a
local Blood official stated.
In order to keep our counties’
blood needs covered we must
send at least 150 pints of blood to
the Center in Atlanta with each
of the 3 visits that the Mobile
makes to Covington. Since about
one out of every five people who
offer to give blood at collection
time must be refused for their own
safety, we need well over 150
potential donors to come to each
visit. A person can safely donate
blood every eight weeks," the of
ficial added.
A donation of blood is different
from any other donation you can
give. Money can and does many
wonderful things to help those
in need. However, a donation of
blood is the gift of life itself to
someone like the baby who needs
a complete exchange of its unheal
thy blood for healthy blood, a mo
ther who hemorrhages in child
birth, a child who is badly burn
ed. a father who is injured at
work, a whole family who has an
accident in their car while vaca
tioning. or any one of hundreds of
other instances when one pint of
blood stands between life and
death. The Red Cross will take
care of collecting, storing (Whole
blood must be used within 21
days, and refining (after 21 days)
the blood is separated into its
component parts to make:
Serum albumin — used as
emergency treatment for shock,
replacement of lost protein as in
kidney and liver diseases.
Gamma globulin — used in pre
vention and modification of meas
les and hepatitis.
Fibrinogen — used in hemor
rhaging in certain complications
of childbirth.
Vaccinia immune globulin —

E. G. Lassiter, Jr., General
Manager stated that White's
welcomes “the opportunity to
express our sincere apprecia
tion for the business relation
ship you have made it our pri
vilege to enjoy, having recently
ended another great year of
sales in the history of the com
pany and for this outstanding
record each of the 45 employ
ees are humbly grateful to the
citizens of Newton and sur
rounding counties for it goes
without saying we could not
have reached our size without
the customer loyalty and con
fidence it has been our privi
lege to experience—as we re
view our 41 years of progress
, we are also humble.”
“We are aware of the re
spons i b i 1 i t i e s the past has
placed upon us. We are aware
of the obligations we have to
you our customers. As we face
another year, we dedicate our
selves anew to the principles
that have withstood the tests
of time.” he added.
“White’s strives at all times
to have a staff of service mind
, ed, civic and Christian men
and women to serve you, our
customer, the most important
person ever to enter our stores.
' We believe that credit should
function to the customer’s ad
vantage. That’s why White's
liberal attitude about credit is
talked about far and wide.
"We believe that prices at
; ! White's must be as low or low
er than any in town. That’s
why White's has comparison'
shoppers shopping the town.
They look. They’ compare. They
check to see that quality for
I quality White’s is not under
sold.
“We believe that high qual
ity is maintained at lower
i prices because of the tremend
ous buying power that White's
has established throughout the
country in 41 years of store
keeping. This buying power en
; ables White's to pass the sav
ings on to the customer. We
believe that the customer is
always right. We believe that
no transaction is complete un
til you’re satisfied, be it price,
quality, selection, service, or
a friendly smile.
“Looking forward, the 45
strong citizens of White's En
terprises reaffirm to our fel
low citizens to offer you, our
