T.It. 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. - - .
The 20 cots needed for the pa
tients were donated by the col
lege.

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 ;

sewing rooms where she has a
task of sewing on buttons and .
tapes, aad other of the easier,
tasks. 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

other purposes,' the emergency ci
vilian hospital, and the Methodist
church missionary society, and for
