JOIN RED CROSS
Tazewell Men and Women Rally
to the Call and Enlist For
Seryice-Meeting to be Held
at Richlands Today.

Our town is rather late falling into
line in Red Cross work, but now that
n start has been made, Tazewell will
not only do her part, but more than
her part, as she has always done
when the time comes for real service
About six weeks ago Miss Mayola
Gillespie called meeting of such
persons as were interested in Red
Cross work and the subject of Il
Tazewell Chapter or Auxiliary was
discussed. A temporary organization
with Miss Gillespie, chairman, Mrs
lP. D. Johnston, Treasurer; and Mrs
B. w. Stras, jr., Secretary went to
work to secure members and arrange
with headquarters for permanent
organization and active relief work
during the time of war. On Tuesday
canvass of the county was made,
and much interest is being manifest
cd in the cause.
Two rooms in the court house have
been rendered the organization, and
in a few days they will be furnished
and made ready for Red Cross ac-
tivities. Material, patterns, etc, have
been ordered and from now on the
Red Cross rooms will be an impor-
tant part of our civic life. Several
ladies who have been at work in 9TH
er places. will act as instructors, and
it is to l;c"noped that everybody will
lend helping hand.
Funds must be had for purchasing
the material, and every man who
does not go to war should help in
this necessary part of his country's
fight. President Wilson first called
for 100000 new members of the
Red Cross, but an effort is being
made to double that number. Any
one wishing to add his or her name
to the list can send it, with the an
nual dues, S1.O0, to either Of the
Committees in charge.
