(Press Committee)

m (PreSS COmm1ttee)
Although the armistice has been sign
ed it should not be inferred by Red
Cross workers that their services are
no longer needed. It is true the de-
mand for surgical and hospital sup
plies is not as great at this time but
there is another almost as important
problem that must be dealt with. That
is the supplying of garments to the
large number of refugees in Europe.
Since the signing Of the armistice a
much larger territory has been opened
up to the Red Cross which must be
taken care Of NOW. By the prompt
response Of all workers many lives can
be saved and conditions made better
which are now pitiful.
Morrison county's allotment is $50
pairs of boys underdrawers, $50 pairs
boys undershirts, all to be finished by
January l, 1919; 100 girls underskirts
to be finished by January 10.

Dec. 18th the following report was rem
dered and accepted from the influenza
Committees:
The Influenza Committee submits the
following report on work done during
the epidemic ...
We had at different times three
nurses aids, from the State Board OF
Health, and fourteen practical nurses
and nurse g aids working under the
direction of Miss Mettel, who devoted
all her time to the work, visiting both
in town mad country districts.
During the month Of October Miss
Mettel called on ninety-one different
patients and from November first to
December first she called on three hund-
red thirty two different patients. Many
Of these patients she called on daily
for several days. There were also fifty
calls made by members of the Home
Service Committee on those who were
not i'll enough to require a nurse, but
needed attention and care.
The Committee on automobiles I'M
der Mr.. Koslosky and Mr.. J. w. Step
henson furnished cars for Miss Mettel
and other nurses, collected and dis
tributed soup, bread, etc.
Under the direction the food commit
tee soup, bread, jelly, rice were prepar-
ed and sent to families needing same.
The Northwestern Milling Company do
mated flour for bread and most Of the
other materials were furnished by those
donating supplies.
Whenever possible special nurses were
+c 20 1o1
for them. Of course this was not al
ways possible, as at the time we need
ed nurses the worst it was impossible
to get more nurses or nurses aids from
the Health Board or locality
Nurses were sent out with the under
standing that the families having them
were to pay the expense if possible.
If they could not afford to pay, the
Red Cross paid the bill.
For nearly two weeks the work room
and surgical dressings workers devoted
their time to the making of masks.
About eco were given out.
Wehave paid out for salary and
carfare of nurses ......... $244.99
Hotel bill for nurses aids 1910
Meat for soup and groceries 1000
Material for masks 65.OC
Telephone bill 1000
Total 10000
We have received from persons hav'
ing nurses $4,000. This leaves a total
spent up to date of $3l8.O9.
There will be about $1,000 more paid
into this fund by parties who have had
nurses and expect to pay for their ser
vices, but have not yet done SO.
The Committee greatly appreciate{
the cooperation Of the public and wish
to thank the women who volunteered
to nurse; the men and women wh<
furnished and drove the cars; thu
Northwestern Milling Company for thu
flour; the women who furnished food
| the workers who made the masks ant
the Telephone operators who with
force depleted by sickness always pu
through the sick calls for the tow1
and country in manner greatly ap
preciated by those in charge.
