The people of Slidell are proud of
the splendid work done by the ladies
of the Local Branch, and we would
be glad to see all the ladies in town
enrolled as members and workers,
and while we hope the war will not
be long in terminating it is possible
that America will eventually have to
win 1t by her own efforts, alone, and
every resource will be required to
meet the strain, and the work of
preparation done now will he re-
garded as an inspiration from Prov
dence, and we should do NOW all
that can possibly be done, as even
though the war ends shortly, enorm-
GUS demands will be made for these
articles by those already MANNED or
wounded who are not now receiving
proper attention, and for those rea-
sons all Slidell ladies are invited to
join the Local Red Cross Auxiliary.
We meet every Tuesday and Friday,
and would like to show anyone in
terested in the work what We are
doing.
