aiming Tuesday evening when a
zen or more well-known business
nen and girls assembled in the
AK room for business. All the
9ternoon Mrs. Holtzendorff and sew
erai efficient workers were cutting
and planning work for this meeting
IN order that it might be a success
from the beginning. Mrs. T. s. Will

those less gifted with the needle.
a portion of the address of Henry

council of the American Red Cross.
is ~recailed just here, when he told
thousands of Georgia people in the
atlanta auditorium last week that
service is the keynote of this war"
Position in society in the future"
he said, will be measured not by
wealth, power commercial suprem-
acy or birth, but by service rendered
daring the war"
No person now living, he said pre-
yiously, would ever outlive the effects
OF the war, and the service every
American could render through the
Red Cross would help save lives, help
shorten the conflict and aid in the
making of a better peace.
What you are now doing and what
you are going to do through the
American Red Cross" he said, us
going to make you and your children
, and you children's children proud Of
t;eing Americans"
Efficiency the Keynote of Service
Just here is warning to all classes
of workers in the Red Cross, young
, or old. 1t is not given to every wo-
man to be efficient with the needle
If such be your case, by all means
seek other kinds of work and save
your chairman or supervisor the UNI
pleasant task OF condemning your
work 1t has been reported that
Atlanta womeA spend much time do
ing over the work sent in by smaller
towns. Fitzgerald has efficient work
s and the work sent out should re-
fact, no. criticism, SO be quite sure
work is neatly done and up to
tirD standard. Learn to knit snip, or
wen make scrap books, anything but
unsightly machine or woodwork.
The Mission of the Red Cross
The Red Cross has mission in
Fitzgerald, which can be traced to
its embleni, the cross with four
points. 1t has been SID OF Fitzger-
aid that her people cannot get to-
gether on any one thing. At last,
there is something on which every
inhabitant, old or young, rich or
poor, gay or solemn, can unite in
doing, Fitzgeralds four corners can
concentrate in that beautiful emblem
originally shown as a white cross in
a red field FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Let us Be Thankful
Tomorrow is the nations day to
give thanks. An exchange says, Let
: us ever be thankgul that we can help
those over there" And we are send
ing our best, our bright young life
% help those over there. More than
one hundred tables in Ben Hill coun-
ty will have one or more vacant
chairs around the festive board to-
morrow, and in spite of the one
1 pound of turkey and other good
things allotted each American soldier
by Uncle Sam, we know that when
that lad sits down to the feast tomor-
row his heart win yearn for the home
table with its shining circle OF loved
ones about it.
