Blood Donors Sought Accident victims who have required many units of blood, coupled with patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments in area hospitals, have prompted the American Red Cross officials to encourage all eligible donors to donate blood. \Last week, t o serious car accidents injured two Central New Yorkers—one injured driver required over 120 units of O positive blood for transfusion, and another used 15 units of A negative blood. We have to insure that blood, in whatever amount maybe needed by accident victims, will be available for them at all times,\ states Thomas A. Indovina, Administrator for the 15-county Blood Services Syracuse Region. \We are encouraging all eligible donors—students home from college who regularly donate at their campus bloodmobiles; people on vacation this week—to make an extra special effort to donate blood, particularly if their blood type is O positive or A negative,\ Indovina said. The American Red Cross is the sole provider of blood to 41 hospitals in Central New York. \When hospitals need blood, they call the Red Cross, and we need to have the blood available. Our volunteer blood donors make that happen, and we need them to donate this week,\ he added. There will be a bloodmobile at the American Legion Hall, Richland Road, Pulaski on August 12. Additional information will be available in next week's paper. Mexico Messages by Mildred Schenck The New York Agricultural Teachers Association recently held their annual conference at Lake George.

Guild Formed A Snowbelt Songwriters' Guild has been formed for area songwriters and aspiring tunesters to further their creative efforts and to promote the marketability of their work. Its long-range goal is to establish the Snowbelt region as a major recording center for New York State. There is no geographical limitation to the Snowbelt arealfor membership. Current guilders include residents of Cayuga, Oswego and Jefferson counties. Technical musical background is not a prerequisite to join the guild. Lyricists (those who write the words to a song) as well as com- posers (those who write the music) and people who write both lyrics and melody may belong. An associate, non-voting membership is being established for individuals who do not write or compose but are interested in promoting songwriting as a creative art. As its first function, the guild sponsored a first annual Summer Songwriting Fest in Oswego in early July at which some members recorded their work on demo tapes for presentation to major song publishers. As future events the guild hopes to hold songwriting clinics and benefit performances among other fund-raisers. Anyone interested in further information should contact Carolyn Gunther, 343-8693; Lynda Fontana, 343-550; or Elaine Sheckler, 626-6823.

These funds represent the first of three yearly payments designed to enable the weather station, located at the high school, to extend its coverage of local wind and climate patterns over the summer months. The original grant, made five years ago by the foundation, supported the installation of a seven variable weather station. Under the supervision of William J. Besaw, Science Department Chairman, over 3,000 students have utilized data recorded by the meteorological instruments. In addition, the general public has access to local weather information displayed at the school entrance, The Pulaski weather station is a unique learning tool: its value has been recognized and utilized by Niagara Mohawk, Cornell University, New York State Departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation and local radio and TV stations. National Register Nominations In The Town Of Sandy Creek \THE LITTLE HOUSE\ NO. 12 This small dwelling just east of the Lashomb Block was built by Captain James Thompson, to serve as his dwelling, as the larger block served to house his blacksmithing and farm implement business. Captain Thompson and his wife, the former Betsey Hadley were married in 1849, and that year may well be that of \The Little House's\ construction. (It is indicated on an 1854 map of Washingtonville.) Its size puts it in the \cottage\ category, representing the typical workingman's dwelling of the mid-1800s. Many of the older homes in our villages and the farmlands surrounding them, started as such simple one-story houses, and grew into full-sized, two-story homes through later additions. This is especially true of the oldest farmhouses. (One area farmhome was known to have grown from a hewn-timber cabin in 1826, to a typical Greek Revival upright and wing by 1860, which was expanded further in 1883, to become a two-family structure.) \The Little House\ has not changed very much at all since its construction, though it was enlarged by a late-19th century addition in the rear, and a porch and scalloped shingles in the gable were added in the early 20th century. The decorative shingles are a \Queen Ann\ touch, but the graceful little cornice returns on the gable and the pedimented window frames - the latter a detail shared with the Lashomb Block - are Greek Revival characteristics Most recently the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Harvey, and before that, the home of Mina Chrisman Blood for many years, the Little House has also been used as a doctor's office (Dr. Allen L. Thompson, in the Civil War era. No relation to Captain Thompson), and at least twice as a shoe repair business. The inclusion of this^seemingly unimportant building in the Sandy Creek Historic District, underscores that fact that ar- chitectural integrity can outweigh size or condition when it comes to National Register material. Perhaps this is also a good time to mention two important facts. 1) Not all buildings or districts nominated to the National Register of Historic Places make it onto that august listing on the first try. 2) Once a Multiple Resource Historical Nomination such as the local one - made up initially of a small historic district and fourteen individual buildings - is approved, totally or in part, the way is clared for further nominations within that same locality. In the case of the Twin Villages and the Town of Sandy Creek, this will mean doing our own homework and financing thereof, for future nominations* This initial project has been funded by the St. Lawrence-Eastern Ontario Commission, with the development of the necessary paperwork accomplished under contract by JoAnn Diet?
