MAIL TRIBUNE, Medforo. Oregon, Sunday, November 23, 1938 Ten County Residents to Donate Blood for Open Heart Surqerv Ten Jackson county resi-1 solution, for use in the heart- dents Tuesday will donate AB Rh negative blood to be used in open heart surgery "Wednes day at the University of Ore gon medical school hospital in Portland, the Red Cross has announced. Medford is one of five places from which 23 units needed for the operation will be collected. Others are Klam ath Falls, Grants Pass, Coos Bay and Roseburg. All the blood will be collected Tues day since blood used in open heart surgeries must be less than 24 hours old. The surgery Wednesday will be on a 12-year-old south ern Oregon girl. After blood is drawn from the five communities, the Civ il Air Patrol will fly it to Portland, where a volunteer driver from the Portland-Mult-nomah County Red Cross chapter will deliver it to the University of Oregon medical school hospital.

Main MEDFORD, OREGON We Give SAH Greea Stamps lung machine which oxygen ates and circulates blood through the patient's body while the heart defect is being repaired. Some blood, however, will be drawn in the usual ACD so lution in the regular bottles for use in direct transfusion during or after surgery, if necessary. On the morning of surgery, the heparinized blood is placed in a warm bath to bring its temperature up to normal body heat. This must be done slowly so as not to destroy the cells, and takes about IVz hours. Preliminary Phases During the preliminary phases of the surgery, the heart-lung machine is assenv bled, the pump primed with the heparinized blood, now at body temperature, and a test run of the machine on a closed circuit is made, after which two tubes from the machine are attached to veins in the patient's heart. A third tube is attached to the femoral ar tery in the groin. After the machine is started, the aorta is clamped off, shut ting off the blood supply and a paralyzing agent is injected to stop heart action. Then the machine takes over while sur geons open up the stilled heart and repair the defect. When the incision in the heart itself has been closed, the clamp is removed from the aorta, the rush of blood quickly washes out the par alyzing agent, and the heart once again commences its beat. However, the machine may be turned back on sev eral times for a brief moment before the surgical team is sat isfied that a sufficiently nor mal rhythm has been estab lished. Important Factor Unfluctuating blood volume is an important factor in the success of open heart surgery. Blood loss is measured throughout the operation and even a slight loss is quickly re plenished by direct transfu sion. Standby units of ACD blood are always on handin the operating-room. Open heart surgeries have been performed at the Univer sity of Oregon medical school at the rate of almost one a week since last April. - Those serving on the blood collection operation here in clude Dr. Ralph D. O'Dell, Mrs. Geary Garrett and Mrs. David Bertstrom, attending nurses; Mrs. Ralph Barnes, Gray Lady; Mrs. Grace Fierro, Mrs. Roy V. Rickard, canteen; Mrs. Lolita Shepherd, motor service; Mrs. J. W.

Bolt succeeds Harry Cum mings, Portland. One of the state's most ac tive tourist promoters from southern Oregon, Bolt told delegates at the convention that their greatest opportuni ties are ahead. He pointed out that what they say and do, and what accommodations they offer, will have a lasting effect on the millions of guests from outside the state who will help Oregon celebrate its 100th year. Urged To Take Lead He urged that all operators of public accommodations take the lead in preparing unlimit ed hospitality for the extra influx of visitors, whose opin ions and memories of Oregon will depend upon the attitude of every citizen in the state. Ted Hallock, state coordina tor for the Oregon Centennial commission, challenged motel operators from all parts of the state with the task of being gracious hosts to the 8 million visitors expected in 1959. Hallock pointed out that the mere provision of facilities and the physical acts of han dling the number of people expected to require the best efforts of everyone engaged in the business of housing and serving them. Other sessions of the con vention were concerned with problems of handling Oregon's guests, including credit card service, advance room reser vations, swimming pools and adequate furnishings. Interest Booming In History Books Concerning State As Oregon prepares this year to roll out the red car pet for its centennial anniver sary in 1959, interest is boom ing in books about its his tory, according to Miss Helen Websterj director of the Jack son County library. "Oregon became the na tion's 33rd state a century ago as a result of some of the world's toughest pioneering wagon trains cutting through snow - covered passes, ships hazarding the mouth of the mighty Columbia, settlers struggling for, wilderness sur vival." So Nancy Bedingfield reminds us in the foreword to her compliation, "Oregon's 100 Years in Pictures." The latest book on Oregon history to be added to the Jackson County library, this is a collection of early en gravings and photographs be ginning with a portrait of Capt. James Cook who sighted the Oregon coast in 1778 and continuing its illustration of scenes and events in Oregon up to the present day. Other Books A number of other books on Oregon were added to the library during the past few weeks. David Lavender's "Land of Giants," based on in tensive research, tells the story of the Pacific Northwest from its first discoveries to the present day. It is a long and complicated tale of brav ery, corruption, and greed for fur, fame, glory, gold, and souls. The story of "John Mc Loughlin, Father of Oregon," as told by Robert C. Johnson also has an authentic back ground to make it a story of the entire Oregon country, not only a biography. Robert Stuart's journey of discovery is related in Kenneth Spauld- Grange News Eagle Point Grange Exemplification of the first and second degrees was fea tured at the Nov. 18 meeting of the Eagle Point Grange.
