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

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,

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.

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

the assistants taught
undergraduate business
courses; worked in the
teaching laboratories;
graded and proctored
