RED CROSS
I. Kaplan, general chairman of
the IhO.'t Red Cross drive, tells
me “1 had some publicity material
about the Red Cross, but I would
n’t bring’ it to you. ’ hen I asked
why, he said "A ell, 1 might a.-
well tell you the truth. it was
something President Kennedy had
to say about the Red Cross arid I
didn’t think you’u be interested in
ANYTH 1XC he had to say!
Mr. Kaplan was about right 1
am very intere.-ted in the Red
Cros'. but not in what Mr. K-n-
nedy has to say about it. I am
more interested in what w going
on with the Red Cross locally, and
some of this information will he
found elsewhere in this issue.
My principal interest in the Red
(*r>i~~is its blood program, al
though I roalize that the organi
zation does many important things
besides. Since* I have had major
suigery four times in the past ten
years and have had to have Mood
once or more each time, it is
comforting to know that t n e
blood will be there, even for those
of us who have a rare type blood.
Did you know that the local hos
pital keeps a list of those with
rare blood types, in case none is
available from the blood bank
when needed? Those who contri
bute blood directly to the hospital
are given credit for the donation
on the county’s quota. This, of
course, is a hospital service, but
it works directly with the Red
Cross blood program. An exper
ience I had is a good example of
the closeness of this program.
While I was in the hospital last
fall the doctor thought I could
use a little extra blood. There was
no O-negative blood available at
the hospital and a check of the
blood hank in Columbia revealed
there was only one pint which
they didn’t wash to release unless
there was a dire emergency.
One of the hospital laboratory
technicians, Mrs. Blanche Felker,
that same afternoon happened to
see an O-negative donor down
town, who informed her that he
was going to give blood during the
Bloodmobile visit the next day.
She aske<3 him to go to the hos
pital to give it instead. He didt
Newberry got credit for that pint
on the Bloodmobile visit; and
soon I was feeling much better
with an extra pint of blood.
Had I been in dire need of the
blood and none was available from
the blood bank, this man, and
others on the O-negative hst
would have been called upon to
make a direct donation. This is
one of the ways in which the Red
Cross, working with the hospital,
serves you.
There are many other ways: we
hope you will never witness disas
ter calling for Red Cross aid. I
am sure it would suit all of us to
contribute to help wherever dis
aster occurs—and we would be
content with the blood program,
the Red Cross swimming and first
aid instruction; the help to vet
erans, civilians and servicemen on
an individual basis.
I hope you will respond gener
ously when the Red Cross volun
teer worker seeks your donation.

DID IT RAIN!
I heard oji WKDK Wednesday
morning that the rainfall for the
past three days amounted to 3.33
inches. This is quite a shower but
I’m sure most of us who turn taxi
cab operators at school let-out
time are convinced that at least
three inches of that 3.33 poured
just as school was letting out.
I like the sound of rain while
I’m going to sleep, or if I don’t
have to be out in it; but after all,
enough is enough! Seriously, we
can be happy we don’t have the
flood conditions being experienced
in so many states.

Newberry County is $1558.04 an
nually. plus approximately $125
for canteen expense for blood do
nors on trips of the Bloodmobile.
Blood is available, when needed, to
all Newberry county residents.
Not only is it used locally, but
much of the blood donated here is
sent to other hospitals, to be used
for Newberry patients hospitaliz
ed in other hospitals in this and
other states.
Most of the local work, other
than the blood program, of the
Red Cross goes unheralded. During
the past 12 months, Mrs. Hannah
Pool, executive secretary of the lo
cal chapter, handled 389 cases of
various kinds, according to Law
rence Richardson, chairman of the
Newberry County Red Cross Chap-
ter. Some of these cases involved
helping veterans with claims to
the Veterans Administration. A
number of civilians receivetTTielp
of different kinds and most cases
involve active servicemen.
“Many young people of Newber
ry County have been taught to
swim and have received Red Cross
swimming certificates, issued by
the local Chapter,” Mr. Richard
son said. The swimming classes
were conducted by certified Red
Cross instructors. Several people in
the county received First Aid in
structor courses.
The Red Cross is always on hand
in case of tragedy and disaster.
While Newberrians can he thank
ful not to have had any disasters
of major projortion, they have the
satisfaction of knowing that should
one occur, the Red Cross will be
there to give aid and assistance.
One recent example of this aid in
South Carolina was the emergency
assistance given by the Pickens
County Red Cross Chapter when
a dormitoiy at Central Wesleyan
College was burned last December.
The chapter assisted 39 students
with tdd amounting to more than
$4,000 in the form of clothing,
books and other school supplies for
some of the girls, linens for rooms
in another dormitory, and help
with transportation and burial ex
penses involving one of the two
girls who died in the fire.
On a larger scale, a 1902 activi
ties report prepared by Regional
Manager James R. Hickey of At
lanta reported 50,000 pints of
Flood donated, whole blood and de
rivatives supplied to local hospi
tals and gamma globulin to county
health departments, all at no
charge for the product.
“Only our donations will assure
the continuation of this fine pro
gram of service,” Mr. Kaplan said,
“and I know the people of New
berry will respond again this year,
as they have in the past, to this
wo7'thwhile cause.”
in a fall from a bridge under con

His body hit the ground 30

were ready and anxious to be ad
mitted to such a home.
The committee felt that the mat
ter of need should he followed up
by contacting the Newberry Conn
ty Ministerial Association and its
members to solicit their assistance
in determining just how many per
sons would lie served by a nursing
home. It was felt that in this
way, the committee could arrive
at some conclusion as to what size
home should he recommended.
J. N. Beard reported on t li c
question of financing such a pro
ject. His report revealed that S. J.
Ulmer of the S. C. State Board of
Health recommends that Hill-
Burton funds he used for the con
struction, and that the home be
leased by the county to any non
profit organization or could be op
erated by a hoard or branch of
county government. Mr. Ulmer,
being familiar with the nursing
home in Greenville county, the one
under construction in Union, and
many others which have been built
and are now being constructed, of
fered to come to Newberry, ana
meet with this committee and give
any advice which was needed. Mr.
Beard suggested that Mr. Ulmer
be asked to visit as soon as Mr.
Merrick and his committee have
completed their investigation as
to need.
The committee learned that
many other counties in South
Carolina have already established
nursing homes and other counties
are now in the process. The com
mittee agreed that a tour of some
of these nursing homes should be
arranged and the members should
go and see just what is being done
by other counties.
Chairman Bedenbaugh informed
the committee that the county
nursing homes were self-support
ing and that the experience o f
other counties had been that they
were not a hut-den on the taxpay
ers but were an asset to the coun
ty.
