A phone call is made, a few words spoken. No.t many hours later, a truck makes an unscheduled stop in a small sleeping town, and a box bearing the symbol of the American Red Cross is lifted into a waiting automobile which hurries it on its mission of mercy to the hospital where the waiting doctor and nurses use the pint of whole human blood to help save a life. Is sounds like a story of happenings in plages faraway, and of little concern to us here in Duchesne. As little concern in fact, as what was shown by most people during the recent canvassing of the city for contributions to the Red Cross. Atcually, the story is very real, and clojser to home than you may realize. How wonderful it is that the American Red Cross came through with such prompt and efficient haste when someone in Duchesne County needed aid. How much more wondeiful it seems when we learn that in the fund drive, not enough money was collected to have even paid for that one pint of blood, if it had been for sale. Im sure that we all realize the importance of our contributions, just as Im sure that everyone would like to contribute to such a great organization. But somehow, when the solicitors came around, the money just wasnt given. It would be too bad if just because of our indifference we lost our standing as a Chapter of the Red Cross. What then, if some emergency should arise, like the recent need for a pint of blood? Oh yes, Red Cross would come through as always with aid, but could we, as a city, feel as though we really deserved the help? Couldnt we, as adult citizens realize our responsibility and be as willing to offer our help with cash contributions as were our high school Jr. Red Cross members to offer their time to help gather them? It was quite inspirational to see the enthusiasm these young people put into their volunteer labors. I should like to thank Julia Firth, Arlene Hadden, Cheryl Merrill, Laura Mae Olsen, Lou Ann Cole, David Bates, Elmon Clement, Jessup Johnsen and Winton White for taking time out from their bus schedules to help in the Red Cross drive, under the able direction of Resa Simpson. As fund drive chairman, I rather hesitate to send them out again to face the indifference shown on their previous visits. Wont you please try to make.it a little more worth their while? Wed like to keep our Red Cross Chapter active, wouldnt we? After all, the next person in need of Red Cross aid could be any of us. It would be nice to know that our contributions helped someone, as they will, even though, if we are lucky, it wont be you or I. Virginia W. Miller, Duchesne City fund chairman. Mrc. D.U.P.
