Mrs. Frisbie adds that many of the dressings are made in particular sizes needed for specific patients, and are not available com mercially. No charge is ever made for them, but families who are financially able and wish to do so, are asked to contribute to the Society. In most cases, she says, patients have already undergone sur gery and families are unable to bear any further expense during prolonged treatment. Some patients with excessive drainage of wounds or hem morhage may require several changes each day. . Distribution of the dress ings is made through the htalth department at the county courthouse, and sup plies are stored there. Miss Lenore Estes, laboratory tech nician, sterilizes all of the dressings after they are com pleted, and Mrs. C. A.

Groups now active in mak ing dressings are Alpha Beta chapter, Beta Sigma Phi; a group at the Presbyterian church in Medford; Sacred Heart Catholic church; Osteo pathic Wives; Job's Daughters, Bethel 55; Kiwanian Dames; a group in Talent; the "ODO club" in Ashland; and the Ashland Unit of the American Cancer society.

The smaller articles are kept at the courthouse, and the beds are stored without charge by Davis Transfer and Storage company. As many as nine 'patients have been supplied with dress ings at one time recently, Mrs. Frisbie reports. A total of 21 patients have used the serv ice during the past four years. They estimate 11,400 dress ings have been made and dis tributed.
