Interest of the volunteers Is di vided among the Red Cross blood program, first aid, water safely, nursing services. Junior Red Cross, home service, disaster work aqd chapter administration.) By JOHN ZUMWALT My Interest In the Red Cross was aroused by the need for blood hi our community. During the four years I served with the Navy in the South Pacific I had taken the Red Cross blood program for XT?,- ,-' . ... . ... m J I ? fir i -if-, -Jit v J JOHN ZUMWALT granted; like many servicemen I listened to rumors about the or ganization and was quick to criti cize any shortcomings. Since I had lived In Klamath Palls all my life, I returned here to establish myself as a civilian. In 1951 I was called to the hospi tal as a walking blood donor, and the patient's doctor explained to me the lifesaving possibilities of an adequate supply of blood, al ways available for use. That first donation of blood convinced me I could share my good health with 4-H Leader Meeting Planned Four-H leaders and Junior lead ers will meet at 7:30 p.m. Mon day.

Since then I have been a regular donor lo the Red Cross, through which our community's need for blood and blood products Is met. In 1955 I was elected to serve on the Red Cross Board of Direc tors. This gave me the chance to learn the scope of the organiza tion's programs and some of the problems that confront any organi zation that has a big Job to do, plus the recognition that an organ ization can have a fine program but is still dependent on human beings to execute it. From the viewpoint of a vet eran I can says that the Red Cross organization bears acquain tance well; the more I learn of its operation the more convinced I am of the need for Red Cross service and programs In our com munity, and that Is why I serve as a volunteer. I am commander of VFW Peli can Post No. 1383, of the Red Cross Board of Directors, president of Uie Gallon Donor Club, mem ber of the Jaycees and past presi dent of the Allied Veterans Coun cil. I have a wife Ruth Zumwalt and a son Gary, 13 years old. My occupation is that of a dry cleaner. Supervisors Set Bill Collection YREKA The Siskiyou County board of supervisors has instructed Jess O'Roke, county administrator, to start collecting all delinquent bills due from pay patiems who have been hospitalized in the Sis kiyou Counly Hospital. Use of the county hospital as the only facility in Northern Siskiyou County Is not limited to county patterns. Outstanding accounts have long been a sore point when county hospital costs have come up at board meetings. Robert McKean, hospital admini strator, was told this week to turn over to O Ro.:e all bills he deems delinquent. O'Roke was authorized to ask the Northern Credit Bureau to collect bills he cannot collect or refer them to the board of su pervisors if legal action seems advisable.
