Grass Roots Opinion
NEW EGYPT, N. J. PRESS—
“The othef day I read what J.
Edgar Hoover, Director of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation,
states is his creed of life. It is so
good, honest, and so definitely
what all Americans should follow
that we gave it here: “Believe in
God and the inherent dignity of
man. Trust in our democratic prin
ciples, and be confident that truth
will overcome the menace of dic
tatorship which today seeks to
destroy our freedoms. Strive al
ways to do your best. Make your
life purposeful. If each of us in
a spirit of self-dedication, will do
his. share, we can create a better
world. That must be the spirit
of 1954—the spirit of love, humil
ity and justice.”

Meeting Called To Discuss
Future Of Blood Program
PROBATE COURT
HANDLES ESTATE
OF OVER $200,000
Records of Probate Judge
Maxcy Stone show that the
largest estate to be processed
within the past year for New
berry County was that of the
late Frank Z. Wilson. The
estate appraisal reveals that the
total value of the assets is in
excess of two hundred fifty thou
sand dollars.
Executor for the estate of Mr.
Wilson is Douglas Featherstone
of Greenwood and the entire
estate goes to Mrs. Louise W.
Kerr, daughter of the decedent.
The estate of Mr. Wilson was
the 537th estate to be processed
through the Probate Judges of
fice since Jan. 1, 1946. One year
is the minimum amount of time
required to complete the admini
stration of estates and more
than ninety per cent of the
estates opened are completed at
the close of one year from the
date of opening.
| A county-wide meeting is eaR-
' ed for Friday night at the count>
! court house to take up the matt' r
I of the blood-donor ;c-ogrcm c
another year. The local chapter ot
the Red Cross must decid* ^oon
whether to attempt to me* t Red
Cross requirements in blcoL or
abandon the work altogether. Some
difficulty has been experien ■( b in
the past in securing blood qm'ias
and for this reason those behind
the movement here would lik‘* a
large turn on* Friday night so as
to get the reaction of the people.
If sentiment, seems to run in
favor of continuance the commit-
te is willing to put in sufficient
time and effort to put it across;
if there is much indifference they
feel it might as well stop the work
now.
Mrs. F. B. Purcell will mod* ate
the meeting in place of H-m-a hel
Kemper who resigned as Red
Cross chairman.
