Fireman Gives Blood and Skin; Saves Lives of Five Philadelphia, Sept. 3.—Ambrose M. Sherman, a city fireman recently returned from France, is now re covering from his fourth blood trans fusion operation. Mrs. Catherine White is in the University of Pennsylvania Hospital and will regain her health, the doc tors say, aB a result of Sherman's sacrifice. Two other women and a child already owe their lives to sim ilar actions of Sherman. The last operation took place yesterday. "It wasn't much to do to save a persons lite,' the fire fighter said, a little pale and weak, but seem ingly not otherwise bothered by the loss of almost a quart and a half of blood. Anybody Could Do It "Why, anybody in good physical condition could do the same thing," he continued. "How could I refuse? A friend asked me if I would sub mit to the operation. Mrs. White, he toid me, would die unless some one volunteered for the work. "I wasn't in exactly the best of condition," he said, smiling wanly, because of his self-sacrificing per- France, where myself and others of the north bombing squadron of the • Naval Aviation Department had a pretty tough time of it. But the doctors examined me and passed me, so here I am." * The fireman did not mention that because of his self-scarificlng per sonality he had a "tougher" time than most other members of his outfit. He didn't tell of digging back a wounded comrade in the face of a galling artillery barrage, and then offering his blood to save his com rade's life. "It's all in the day's work in the Navy," he said, when reminded of those things.
