Blood Donor Unit

The mobile blood donor unit will
be in Elkton, in the basement of the
Catholic Church, on Monday and
Tuesday, August FL and %.
The daily increase in war casual
ties on all the fighting fronts over
seas calls for greater cooperation on
the part of the folks at home. Never
in the history of the world has the
demand for blood-givers been so ur-
gent Let us not turn a deaf ear to
the calls of the boys overseas This
is not the time to let them down.
Science, in experimenting with the
plasma, has found several new uses
for the precious substance not hither-
to known. Skin grating has been
greatly benefited; and through a
newly developed process of separa-
ton, a derivative from blood, called
gamma globulin, makes available a
processing residue not heretofore
utilized, for the prevention OF
measles.
Use of this substance does not in
any way reduce the amount of blood
plasma or serum albumin required
for treatment of wounded service
men. The Armed Forces are now US
ing this derivative extensively in
measles control and the surplus, if
any, after the needs of the army and
navy are met, will go back to the
general public who donated the blood
originally.
So-Come on, let's help. DonE
say, II gave my son; let somebody
else give the blood to keep him
alive"
Anybody interested should get in
touch with Miss Louisa Wallis, North

Academy Sum-
mer Session Has
Record Enrolment

Fifty boys are enrolled in the West
Nottingham Academy Summer School
and Camp, which opened July 3rd
and will end August 23rd. In the
group are boys from California, Nor
way and Austria. Most of them are
doing academic work for credit, es-
pecially the older boys who are an
xious to complete requirements for
secondary school diploma before in
duction into the Army or Navy.
Special camp and social activities
have included a three-day camp at
Carpenters Point; two dances, one
at Happy Valley Camp and one at
West Nottingham; a trip to Balm
bridge to see a baseball game the
Naval Training Station team and
the Boston Braves; three-day boat
trip on the Chesapeake Bay to Rock
Hall; and the closing day activities,
including Patterson soft ball game,
a horse show, water carnival, ban
quet and the award of certificates
and prizes, and a dramatic produc-
ton.
From an advertisement which APP
peared in the first issue of the Bal
timore Sun in 1892 it is known that
West Nottingham Academy had a
summer session more than one hum
dred years ago. The present series
was begun in 1888 with an enroll
ment of nine boys.
The beautiful setting at West Not
tingkam with the lake and extern
sive campus and woodlands make 1t
an ideal location for summer pro-
gram which combines camp activities
with some academic work.

dered removed to Pittsburgh where
she is wanted on charge of wear
ing an Army uniform with intent
to defraud Pittsburgh hotel. The
order was signed by District Court
Justice James M. Proctor
Miss Brown, who the FBI said
had been convicted several times Of
passing bad checks, was held for
removal yesterday by United States
Commissioner Needham G. Turn
age after she pleaded guilty to the
Pittsburgh charge.
A chance meeting Monday night
with an Army captain, whom the

bad check, led to her arrest. The
captain saw her in the Mayfiower
