Regent Reports
On War Projects
Of D.A.R. Units
Projects end accomplishments
of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution were reviewed
this week by Mrs. Bert B.
Lowry, Medford, state regent of
Oregon, who selected the peak
period of the Fifth War Loan
d lve for the statement since the
efforts of the Daughters have
been largely directed to war
loans, the blood donor service of
the American Red Cross and
similar work during the war.
Purchases of war bonds by
the various units of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution
have now passed the million dol
lar mark, the state regent re
ports. This figure does not rep
resent the individual purchases
of members, but purchases of
cnapters, state units and the
national organization.
Also considered outstanding is
the contribution of more than
$330,000 by the Daughters to
the blood donor service of the
American Red Cross, Mrs.
Lowry reports. Part of this fund
was spent to purchase equip
ment for the Red Cross blood
plasma center in Portland, and
for centers in other parts ot the
nation. In all, the Daughters
have purchased 38 mobile units,
equipment for 18 blood donor
centers, 19 station wagons for
use by the Red Cross, five
sedans, one ambulance truck,
three other trucks, two mobile
canteens, one sterilizer and one
heater.
In addition the Daughters
themselves have volunteered by
the hundreds as blood donors,
the regent states, and are
"repeaters", donating blood on
a regular scheduls.
Projects of the tumor mem
bers of the D.A.R. are the pur
chase of "seeing eye dogs for
the blind and the purchase of
Berman "metal locaters". These
locaters, the regent explained,
are appliances used by doctors
to locate pieces of shrapnel and
other metal In battle victims.
The locaters were first tried
after the disaster of Pearl Har
bor and are now widely used by
service doctors In battle nrcas,

Music Association
Meeting Delayed;
Smith Here Later
The June meeting of the
Jackson County Civic Music as
sociation board has been de
layed because of the inability
of Franklyn Smith, Civic Con
cert representative from New
York, to be in Medford at the
time planned. According to
Seth Bullis, president of the as
sociation, Smith Is now in the
state of Washington and before
coming to Medford for a meet
ing with the board must spend
some time in Eugene working
out the preliminary details of
a Joint town and university as
sociation. Many Interesting artists and
attractions will be available for
Medford next year according to
the correspondence with Smith.
At the time of his meeting with
the board, the date will be de
termined for tho annual mem
bership week in the fall.
From Its successful first year,
plus the general satisfaction
with the five concerts presented-last
year, it Is apparent that
the Jackson County Civic Music
association has more than ade
quately filled a community
need, Mr. Bullis states. The as
sociation will enter its second
year with a small cash surplus,
which Mr. Bullis says speaks
well for the plan that makes
concerts possible on a self-supporting,
financially sound basis..
