c, R. NUTTER
SPEAKER ON
RED CROSS WORK

About a hundred people, among
whom were a few men. attended the
lecture Wednesday evening al the
Unitarian church, given by Charles K.
Eutter, head of the New England
Branch of the National Red Cross. The
speaker was introduced by Hon. Fred
eric E. Boothby. chairman of the To-
cal chapter. who spoke of the origin
of the Red Cross by an Italian in the
early wars.
Mr.. Nutter urged the need Of mem
bership for the Red Cross. The ma
jority of people he claimed know moth
ing about this movement at all. and
his purpose is to educate along this
line. In the West and South the mem
bership and interest has been stimu-
lated greatly and Mr.. Nutter hopes
that New England will soon take her
place in line.
Mr.. Nutter pointed out four great
mistakes that people have been think
ing In regard to the work: Cd That
the work is for women. The work is
as much for men as for women. ca
That it is an organization for nurses;
this is not true. 90 People think that
there is an obligation to serve If they
join the Red Cross; no one is under
any obligation to do single thing a.
That dues so to Germany, or other
foreign nations. No dues go to war
ring countries. Mr.. Nutter says that
tt is up to the people to furnish the
money to keep the wheels of this great
machinery turning if we wish to have
our soldiers given the comforts they
need. He pointed out some work for
the local chapter to do at the pres
ent time. such as comfort bags for
the National Guard. hospital supplies
dressings and other necessities.
