Red Cross Program
Under McIntire Will
Provide Free Blood
BY the Associofed Press

The new National Blood Pro-
gram" of the American Red Cross,
which plans to provide blood and
its derivatives without charge to
the entire Nation, will be headed by
Vice Admiral Ross T. McIntire, war
time Navy Surgeon General.
The appointment was announced
today by President Basil o OConnor Of
the Red Gross.
The blood program, patterned on
methods employed during the war
to procure blood donations for the
armed forces, was approved by the
Red Cross board of governors at q
meeting in Cleveland last month.
Available to ALI.
Requiring blood donations by the
American people - approximately
100000 annually at the peak of the
program-the plan is designed ito
furnish blood, blood plasma, and all
of its derivatives to all the people
Of this country irrespective of race,
creed, color or financial ability to
pay"
The Red Cross announcement
quoted recorded scientific and
medical opinion" that there is no
difference in human blood based
on race or color, and said "the
plan does not require segregation
Of blood"
1t added, however, that whenever
necessary to insure the success OF
the plan chapters will collect
and hold blood in such manner as
to give the physician and the patient
the right of selection at the time
of administration"
Need For Blood Continues.
"The only charge ever made to
any patient" the Red Cross said,
will be a reasonable one by the
physician or hospital for profess
sional services in administering the
material. The Red Cross will make
no charge
THE need for blood" said Mr..
O'Connor, "is continuing day-by-
day emergency, involving costs be-
yond the ability of the vast majority
of people to meet. Moreover In
time of national emergency the pro-
gram would be functioning immedl-
ately to meet the needs of national
defense, both military and civilian" !"
The Red Cross said the plan calls
for the collection of blood at strate-
gic centers throughout the country
as well as by mobile units operating
in rural areas. 1t also will entail
typing of whole blood, processing
of certain blood supplies into plasma
and other fractions, and distribution
to hospitals.
Still another phase will be the
supplying of blood and its fractions
to research centers for further in
vestigation of the uses to which the
material may be put for the service
of man.
Contributions to Be Sought.
THE program" Red Cross state
ment said, will be financed through
contributions made by the American
people. Each year the Red Cross
fund campaign will take into con-
sideration the amount necessary to
carry on this important new service.
"The cost for the first year may be
between 100000 and $5,0O0,O00
The cost of operation of the centers
will be shared on an equitable basis
between the national organization
and the chapters"

was White House physician, is ma

Scientists Freeze Natural Gas,
Reduce Storage Space $685.

could be employed in conservation
of natural gas from oil fields. AT
present millions of cubic feet OF
natural gas Is burned as 1t escapes
from oil fields because no practical
method of storing 1t has been avail
able.
Mr.. Stutzman and Mr.. Brown
said that in seven months of re-
search they had stored 800 cubic
feet of natural gas in / cubic foot
Of space.
The scientists reduced the tenn
perature Of natural gas to $50 de-
grees below zero Fahrenheit by
bringing it into contact with liquid
nitrogen at temperature of $40
degrees below zero.
The gas, stored at very low tenn
perature, can be released by re-
ducing refrigeration.
The scientists said their storage
method permits separation of nat
ural gas into its components:
Ethane, methane, butane and pro-
pane after distillation.
Ethane is used in preparation of
ethly alcohol and other organic
compounds. Propane is employed in
making dyes, alcohol and explosives.
Methane is used in dyes, and butane
is an ingredient of synthetic rubber.

posal to the London Company to
send one hundred young maids
as wives for the inhabitants. He
suggested that those of the maids
who married public farmers be
sent at the expense of the Com
pany that employed them but if
any were married to others that
those who took them to wife
should pay their travel expenses.
The plan proved extremely sue
cessful and the Company even
tually granted the adventures
who subscribed to the expenses
of shipping the maids q ratable
proportion of land, according to
the number of maids sent. The
lands were to be laid off together
and formed into town to be call
ed MaidstoWn.
It was stipulated that the maids
were to be married to freemen of
their own choice who could sup
port them handsomely. AS was
inevitable, marriage ceremonies
began taking place followed by
the traditional dances and soon

Virginia promenaded majesti-
cally into history, but except for
an Indian queen named Pochhon-
tas, il, didn't have woman to its
name! r4~
The frs permanent settlement
became bachelor kingdom and,
much to the }chagrin of the bache-
lors, there was little indication
that Virginia soil would ever nur
ture women and children of its
own other than the savages that
constantly lurked in the dark
places of the Blue Ridge and Apa
lachian country.
The intrepid adventures who
first touched the land were bold
and faraway men but they were
lonely. They had fought great
battles, had conquered tempestu-
GUS oceans and blood thirsty say
ages but when a moment of peace
finally fell over the Shenandoah
the men sang lost and hungry
chanteys of the sea and dreamed
of another land where women
smiled and children laughed. But

they also waited and listened and
through the Virginia hills, down
the long valley that is the Shen-
andoah and across the wide East
ern Shore they heard another
song. 1t was the melody of new
land, of rolling blue hills, of
green-checkered fields against
the sky, of climbing wild roses
that crowded the honeysuckle, of
cool mountain streams; they
heard the rustic of oak leaves and
the whispering of pine trees. It
was the melody of Virginia, the
song of home.
EARLY in 1908, Thomas Forrest
seated himself beside his huge
fireplace and decided, much to
his amazement, that he needed a
helpmeet to make his happiness
compile.
"Aye, George" he later confid
ed to a friend, mans earthly par
adise is only where woman
dwells."
Soon thereafter the first white
woman to reach the colony, a
Mrs. Thomas Forrest, arrived
with her maid, Anne Burrus.
Anne lost no time in marrying a
gentleman by the name of Thorn
as Layton who had preceded her
to Virginia in 1907. Two years
later their first daughter, Vir-
ginia, was born and baptized at
Jamestown. 1t was indeed a gala
event and in 1882 the colony
made gift of five hundred acres
of land to John Layton, situated
in Elizabeth City county, in Off
cial recognition of the birth of
the first white child on Virginia
soil.
Perhaps the most romantic fig
ure in Virginia history was Sir
George Yeardley, governor of Vir
ginia. who arrived in 1919. Sir
George surveyed his Womanless
