RED CROSS AND SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS FAMILIES

Many Of us think of the Red Cross
solely as means of the giving comfort
to the soldier and help to the wounded.
Right here in Gardiner there is another
branch about which little is known. as
will be seen by the following: The war
risk insurance act, which allows com
pensation on death or disability, does
not bring benefits to the families of the
soldiers and sailors automatically, for
the application must be made in order
to have the benefits they provide. Fore
seeing that but few of the citizens would
familiarize themselves with this act.

most urgent demand is for big
horses. and most of these are sold for
farming purposes, with quite a de-
mand for fresh horses for the log

this lack was more than filled by tho
