Women Are Asked To Make Surgical
Dressings, To Honor Fallen Heroes
Jerry Jerome, chairman of the
Transylvania county Red Cross
chapter, has designated the month
of February as a month for honor
ing Transylvania county boys who
have died in service in World War
2 and has requested the surgical
dressing rooms to pay tribute to
these fallen heroes by making and
shipping on or before the 29th
17,500 surgical dressings which are
so badly needed.
There are six who have paid the
supreme price and they are Rich
ard Enloe, Chas. A. Mull, Hinton
McLeod, Lewis Earl Jackson, K. I.
Smith and Lewis Sims, Jr.
“Making this large number of
surgical dressings seems to be
very appropriate way of honoring
these boys and I urge the women
of Brevard and the county to co
operate to the fullest possible ex
tent,” Mr. Jerome said.
When the quota of 17,500 band
ages is reached, a flag will be
raised at the courthouse as a sa
lute to the boys.
“We are going to do this in order
that every one will know that our
memory of these young men is a
living one and that we are com
memorating their memory and ser
vice by doing all we can to prevent
a shortage of surgical dressings.
“Perhaps this quota of 17,500
seems a little high, but in what
greater way could we commemo
rate the memory of these Transyl
vania sons than to assure protec
tion from infection for wounded
on the front today?”
“W i t h earnest, though sad
thoughts, we take up their quarrel
with the foe and as we hold close
about us the memory of these boys
we are inspired by their sacrifice
and are urged onward by the im
mortal words of John McRae:
Take up our quarrel with the
foe:
To you from failing hands we
throw
The torch; be yours to hold it
high.
If ye break faith with us who
die
We shall not sleep.
