Upon the call of Mrs. McClurg, the
President Of the Woman's Club Of

the meeting to order and explained it's
object to be the organization of a
branch of the American Red Cross
Society, whose working she explained
by residing a letter from Miss Gober,
of Jackson, and a communication with
regard to the one in Memphis, which
places have within the past week or
ganized for work in this great Society,
the Greenwood Mississippi Chapter of
the American Red Cross Society was
organized with seventy members. The
following officers were elected:
Mrs. T. R. Henderson, Chairman;
Miss Blanche Hall, Rec. Sec'y;
Mrs. E?ssie Pepper, Treasurer.
1t was decided to divide the mem
bership into, branches for work and
study, each branch to elect it's own
leader. These different lines are for
the study of the following subjects:
First Aid (for men and women) 10
lessons.
Elementary Hygiene and Home Care
Of the sick (for women) Is lessons.
Home Dietetics( for women) Is les
sons.
Preparations of Surgical Dressings
flor women) 8 lessons.
And the Membership branch to build
up the membership.

ton in times such as We are entering
upon, is that it gives every individual
citizen, old and young, men and wom-
en-, an opportunity to serve. It s
