TEN MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, Sep. 5, 1944 SPAIN WAR VEIS DONATE $300 FOR AT ASHLAND FOR The Bum of $300, netted by members of the Col. Sargent Auxiliary No. 13 to the United Spanish War Veterans from the last sale of McKinley carnations, has been donated to the Jackson County chapter of the American Red Cross to be used for the blood plasma program, accord ing to an announcement by Mrs. Bertha Bonney, president of the auxiliary. In a letter of appreciation for the check, forwarded to the area office at San Francisco, Scth M. Bullis, chairman of the chapter, wrote: "You are fully aware of the large number of lives of sol diers and sailors saved by the availability of plasma, and aware of the continued demand for the precious fluid. Unfortu nately, Jackson county, by reason nf its geographical location, is unable to participate In the ac tual blood donor program. Your generous contribution, however, will permit recognition of the county, and of your auxiliary, in the program. "We are forwarding your check Intact to the area office at San Francisco for their use in the manner you designate. Our thanks to your organization will be echoed by the service men who receive the ultimate bene fit." Commenting on the blood plasma gift Mrs. Bonney stated, "For quite some time we labored with the idea of buying an iron lung, but after due investigation, we found it not available. Blood plasma is needed every moment of the day and night and we feel those of you who so kindly paid your dime for a carnntion will feel fully repaid In the knowl edge it is at this moment being used to save the lives of our serv ice men wherever they are. "We also offer a vote of thanks and appreciation to Scth M. Bullis, chairman of Jackson County Chapter, American Red Cross, for his kind acknowledge ment of the gift."
