Christmas For Our Bows

Boxes to be sent the boys in France as
Xmas gifts must be sent at once, so it nee
esssry that parcels to be sent by the Red
Cross be packed right away. 1t is hoped
that the ladies will spond in a large num-
Der for the Thursday and Friday meetings
as preparations will be made to send the
Xmas boxes beginning this week. Please
bring Xmas seals left over from last year,
colored tissue paper and Irvine and any
thing that will make the Yuletide boxes
more attractive, also bring Nabisco and
other tin boxes, filled with candy, fruit
cake or other goodies recommended in
Red Cross list OF gifts. Bring your empty
tin boxes to be used in packing. 1t is sug-
gested that the mixture for homemade
candy be cooked rather hard and poured
into tin boxes, rather than cut in squares
and then packed in box.
The local Red Cross feels especially in
debted to the bank directors for their
kindness in giving the chapter the use of
the rooms over the bank for meeting
place, as well as heating them.

The following letters received by Mrs.

how much our soldiers appreciate the
sweaters and other articles sent by the
local Red Cross and it would seem after
reading them that all would have faith in
the great work the chapters all over the
country are doing for our boys. In prac-
tlcally all cases it has been found upon
tracing the rumors in circulation that
they have been started with a determin-
alton to harm the Red Cross, and that
such stories soon lose their identity and
are right in line with the Pro- German
