New War Projects
Are Announced By
D.A.R. President
Three new war projects of the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution are to be rushed to com
pletion with all possible speed
according to an announcement
received this past week by Mrs.
Bert B. Lowry, Medford, regent
of the Oregon chapter. The new
projects were approved at the
recent meeting of the D.A.R.
National board.
One of the projects, which the
announcement states is heartily
endorsed by the army surgeon
general, is a wired program dis
tribution system, costing $60,000,
for patients in the great Mayo
general army hospital at Gales-
burg, 111. When installed this
latest miracle of radio will pro
vide head phones beside every
bed of the hospital which has a
2,000 to 2,900 bed capacity. The
patients will have a choice of
five programs, including the
main speaker system of the hos
pital. ,
The other two projects con
cern the navy. One of them will
provide mobile x-ray units for
six new hospital ships, each unit
to cost $15,000. The units can
be moved to 'various parts of
the ship and can also be taken
ashore for use in isolated places
such as small islands or beaches.
Third of the war projects will
provide another type of portable
x-ray unit for use on navy hos
pital ships. This type can be
moved to any place in the wards
and private rooms of the ships
to make x-ray examinations.
Each of the units cost $900. They
will be installed on the seven
navy hospital ships now in serv
ice, as well as on the six new
ships now built or building.
"These three new war pro
jects are really needed and they
will help our soldiers and sailors
In their fight for health" ac
cording to Mrs. Julius Y. Tal
madge, president general of the
D.A.R. "Funds for the projects
are raised by voluntary dona
tions. We raised over $350,000
for our blod plasma mobile
units and will continue to con
tribute to projects which will
help those who are wounded and
sick. The surgeon general of the
army and the surgeon general
of the navy told us of the need
for these three projects and we
are glad to adopt them and in
clude them in our war activities
program."
