Angel Surpasses Quota of 150 When Truck Arrives . MX. ANGEL Among the 200 ML Angel people who volunteered to donate a pint of blood to the American Red Cross mobile blood donor service were J20 religious men from Mt "Angel college and seminary. The monks were among the 150, maximum number that could be handled in the four-hour space allotted, whose blood ; was taken Friday, July SO, at St Mary's school. The staff of doc tors and nurses who came with the blood truck began work, at 9:30 a. m. , . The college has always come to the fore in all the drives for serv ice to men and country, whether it was money or labor that was asked, nor did they shirk at glv ing their own blood. . When ML Angel was notified that blood donors were wanted by the Red Cross, the request was to have people come to Salenx and give their: blood there. Because of travel difficulties and the nat urally busy season, in a farming community, it was suggested that the blood truck be brought to ML AngeL The Red i Cross readily agreed, provided 120 people prom ised to. donate blood. A quota of 150. was then set and surpassed. Sylvester Schmitt, Red Cross chairman; was" general --chairman. Registration' of the donors ' was held at the Farmers Union Ware house, with Miss : Marie Meduna in charge, and at Fisher's phar macy, where Leonard Fisher took care .of the registering, v - Mrs. Frank . Aman headed the committee of women who were at the school Friday serving coffee and refreshments to the donors and - Mrs.. Sylvester Schmitt was in charge of the registration com mittee. - - .

Born In Sterling, I1L, August 3, j 1853,; Mrs. Bray's life has spanned the beginning and end of three wars, and is now witnessing ; an other, the end of" which the aged woman prays for daily. .. , Mrs. . Bray's ancestors came to the United States from Holland and "settled in. New York, where they took up land, later laying out the ' city ofhnectady. One of these brothers was" the father of Nicholas; Jacob Vrooman, who in turn s became the- father of the woman of this sketch, - Nickoias Vrooman married Julia Lewis, a native of Pennsylvania. . They moved to Illinois following their marriage and It was there that Emeline "was born, and was named, for her mother's twin sis ter. Her mother, died when she was very young. - ' It was while on a visit to the home of a brother, in Iowa that she met John Bray and Became engaged to him. They were mar ried 1 in ; Clarence, Mo, . to which city her father had moved. For several years I afterwards : they lived In Clarence, then decided to come to Oregon, The trip west was made in 1888. In the party were Mr. and Mrs; Bray, their" family and Mrs. Bray's father. Nickoias Vrooman, who had . re married, and who .had two step daughters, . Mrs.' Ann - Richards and Mrs. Mary Brink, living In Albany. ', , Since thai, Mrs. Bray has made her j home - continuously 1 In this city. Her father has long, since been dead, as also Mr. Bray, both step-sisters, , and her own wo daughters. In talking abeat war, la which Mrs. Bray takes a strong Interest, she recalled how dar ing the Civil war. she walked dwa tewa with her father who went daily to the post office, which In those days waa a gen. era! place for gettiag news, and f saying to her father. Ta. they always have to have warf" and her father replied. "Little girt, always, somewhere, there Is war." . . ; - In speaking of war, Mrs. Bray says she. has really done Red Cross work in each of the wars. Although very young at the time of the Civil war, she told how the older: women of the community would get calico, or as they called It, "prints- and would tear it in squares. : Then these squares were given the girls the age of Mrs. Bray, or a little older, to hem. because in that long-ago day, small - girls - learned . while very young, to pot-only sew, but to do many other ' household tasks. La ter . these squares of prints were sent to the boys in blue to be used for handkerchiefs. '-. Then came the Spanish-Ameri can war during which Mrs. Bray knit sox for the boys in the serv ice.' Next was world war one, when the Red Cros not only knit sox, but scarves, and caps for the soldiers., Now she Is still working for the Red Cross, and two after- i noons a wee kflnds her la the ; Write for t pedal Uterafure on Lt- CXIAT WESTISrl ftfYltlOM fiti bcv? c;::::xt totxwxnr ' SSAl IZXCt.

She not only walks te the f Red Cross sewing rooms from, her home, a distance of .four blocks, bat climbs a steep stair way to the rooms. While she usually carries " a cane, "because' she says, "some times she gets a trifle dizzy," she does not depend upon its use to any great extent Seldom during the past winter has she missed an afternoon .at the sewing rooms, even when Inclement Weather kept many of the younger work ers away. - . At the age of 17. years, Mrs., Bray joined the Methodist church,' although her father told her It was not necessary as she had been cristened when a baby. But she told him she could .not remember that and she wanted to be sure. Since then she has taken an active part In the work of the church. She has for many years also been an-active member in the La dies of the Grand Army, but since the present war she does not attend so often due to their meet ings being held on a Tuesday af ternoon which interferes with her- work for the Red Cross. She is also a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Bray's husband served during the Civil war, being In an Illinois company. Now she has a grandson, Richard Bray, in the. present war. . Asked what her chief hobby was, Mrs. Bray said she had sev eral,, among them crochet, tatting, and applique, the latter! being used on quilts. Of these, she has made a : good many. She made blocks enough and gave the Red Cross, also has made several for other purposes,' the emergency ci vilian hospital, and the Methodist church missionary society, and for each of her grandchildren. Mrs. Bray makes her home with her . son, Claude, and de lights in having visitors. She has many pictures, books and other keepsakes of her early life, which she enjoys : showing and telling about to friends. Her husband died a number of years ago, as' did her daughter. Miss : Ethel Bray, who was a - teacher In the Albany schools and schools of Linn coun ty for. many years. Another daughter, Mollie, died after the family came to Albany, and two other children, a boy and a girl, died in Missouri in infancy. Mrs. Bray has two grandchildren liv ing and two great grandchildren. .
