A plea for more involve- ment by the churches and voluntary service organizations was the theme of the organiza- tional meeting of the Back Mountain Blood Council held on March 14. The meeting was well at- tended by representatives of many of the churches and the volunteer executive council. The council examined what it had achieved in the past 18 months and looked for the direction to go in the future; the main directing factor is that the requirement for blood has almost doubled in the last year with a similar in- crease expected in the Blood Council does its part in trying to fill that need in this area. Members were in- formed that for the last drive, many last minute calls had had to be made 693-2820 LOWEST PRICES Edna M. Kiefer Mrs. Edna M. Kiefer, 77, Country Club Apart- by half a dozen members, (about 200 calls each) as the hoped-for teams of callers had not materialized. Once again there is a great need for more members to serve on the council to lighten the load ' of existing members. June Shellhammer, Red Cross representative, stated that in order for callers to come forward, the churches of.the area should be urged to make a strong commitment. There are more than enough members of congregations to make the task a light one. If each church were to undertake to provide a team even once a year, 11 people at a time calling 20 names it would help. The other area where ments, Dallas, died Thursday, March 24 at General Hospital. Surviving are daughters, Mrs. Lois K. Trowbridge, Manhasset, N.Y.; Ida Mae McClary, Yorktown Heights, N.Y.; son, A.P. Kiefer, at home; five grandchildren; sisters, Mrs. Evelyn Conlon and Elinor Boyle, both of Wilkes-Barre. help should be forth- coming is youth and voluntary service organizations. In other areas, the meeting was informed, scouts often undertake to run a blood- mobile as the public service ‘part ‘of ‘award schemes; surely this would be an opportunity for enterprising young- sters. Voluntary service organizations are often already committed to ser- vice projects, but the help needed is really not very much. It’s all a question of spreading the load. Half a dozen men could easily distribute 300 posters on a Saturday morning. Paul Hodges, acting co- chairman for the evening, stated that certificates of appreciation were being awarded to St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Frucksville United Methodist Church and the Gate of Heaven Church for their help, and that the Dallas Junior Woman's Club had already received one. More will be awarded to those other organiza- tions who are helping. & So once again a plea to the community at large; @ this. does and. can. affect each and every one. Many people in this area as in every other have and will be helped by life-saving gifts of blood. The blood- mobiles are arranged indirectly to benefit us all and that puts a responsi- bility on each one of us to help in some small way to ensure that blood is there when it is needed. BY TRICTIA .CAVANAUGH Anyone who has read the Dallas Post is certain to remember Jessica Morgan, a one-time popular writer for this paper. Recently, Morgan filled a Public Relations assistantship by serving as liaison between the commerce and finance department and the college’s public relations office. She also aided in the preparation of a brochure for the depart- ment. In addition to Morgan, four other graduate assistants in the Wilkes College commerce and finance department are nearing completion of duties, which gave them practical experience while allowing them to earn graduate credits ® toward their M.B.A. degree. Employed for the academic year of 1982-83, the assistants taught undergraduate business courses; worked in the teaching laboratories; graded and proctored exams; and assisted in all areas of the business department. \_ Dallas Memoria Highway Cross Valley Expressway ’ Wilkes-Barre \ Northeast « Turnpike Extension J
