ly acknowledged. This same club is
now busily engaged In knitting wool
en- articles so much In demand.
Now, as 10 why this patriotic body
of,women has not chosen TO work un-
der the direction OF the Red Cross,
that is another story. They. doubt.
less have good and sufficient reasons
for not doing so. The important fact
is. however. that they are truly serv-
ing their country in it's hour OF need.
The local Red Cross undoubtedly
has in it's membership women whose
patriotism cannot be impeached, bu.
mere membership in that organiza-
ton does not carry with II the license
to belittle the work OF other women
who are as nobly serving their coan
try in some other organization.
Though as yet the local has for
warded no supplies. aside from the
so-called comfort kits or bags, yet
hundreds Of dollars worth OF mater
ial has been purchased through the
county chapter. and is being made up
into articles so badly needed at the
front.
Working with other branches OF the
county chapter there has been com
pleted one hundred thirty sweate IS
two hundred mufflers and large
number of socks. and OF this the local
branch has about done It's share.
These together with the surgical
dressings will soon be forwarded 10
their destination in France.
Were it possible for every patriotic
woman in the city to do her war work
under the auspices of the Red Cross,
Il would be a thing much to be de-
sired The important-th vital ques-
ton is however, not WHERE are the
women of the city working, but ARE
they working at all
And finally II admist OF no argu-
ment when we affirm thai there ought
to be no place in any of these organ
izations for war work for anyone
whose sympathies are not earnestly
and entirely with the government In
its gigantic--its laudable task OF maxi
ing the world safe for Democracy.
