Jones. visited the different sections
of the county yesterday TO organize
some branches of the Red Cross
Chapter of Dorchester, and also to
see the different Sub-chairmen and
get them started on the fall work.
They left by automobile at 9 O'Clock
and covered most of the upper part
of the county, and returned at $50,
feeling much gratitied by the recep-
tion they received everywhere.
The first stop was at Airey,W where
d sub-chairman, Mrs. Guy Windsor,
was appointed. \ meeting is to be
arranged for them in the near fu-
ture. explaining to the people OF
Airey the needs. and, in fact, the de
mands for garments for our soldiers
and sailors. Next East New Market
was visited. and Mrs. White was APP
pointed sub-chairman, and meeting
arranged for Monday afternoon, in
tl,. sci3o .nou,c. Here the commit
Il" vas met with hearty co-opera-
tion. and was assured that all that
was necessary was. material 10 Work
W, 4 ,"nat many of the women OF
that section having expressed them
selves as feeling they had been ne
gIecting their duty. From there they
went to Eldorado. and from Eldora-
do to GaleStoWn. where Mrs. Ray
Loadrine was appointed Sub-chalr-
man. Here also the committee was
met half way in all they proposed.
/ They then proceeded to Vienna, where
a few taps on the school bell brought
a great many of the ladies of the
! town to the building. They met in
| the assembly room and organized, ap-
pointing a new temporary chairman,
Miss Susie A. Hitch, in place of the
present chairman, who is away on
prolonged stay. The Vienna ladies
were most enthusiastic, ordered more
wool from Mrs. Woolford, and are to
| arrange for big public meeting to
be held soon.
The next stop was at Williams
burg, and arrangements We're made
here Tor carrying On the OIh.
Altogether, the days work was
most gratifying. Everywhere the
committee was met half way, and
the women all wanted material and
some one to start things for them.
Next week a big public meeting
will be held at the Woman's Club
Rooms, Cambridge, Wednesday, Oct.
"a. at O'Clock. when Mrs. Hubbard,
chairman of the Maryland Navy Lea
que. will address the people on the
work of the Navy League. a big
meeting is requested. Everybody
should come out, as matter of du
ty, and give Mrs. Hubbard a recep
tion worthy of a woman who leaves
her private life and duties for such
cause. Mrs. Hubbard intends to
take a whole week for this work and
surely the women of Cambridge can
set aside their own private affairs for
an hour or two to greet a woman
who gives all her time, without mo-
ney and without price.
Tonight there will be a meeting at
8 O'Clock at the Woman'S Club
Rooms, the headquarters of the De-
fense Council, and a speaker from
the Hoover Food Conservation Lea
que will address the meeting. 1t is
matter of patriotism that these
meetings be attended, and every wo-
man should make an effort to do so.
