JUNIOR RED CROSS NOTES.

The Junior Red Cross in Crawford
county is becoming pretty we'll organ.
lied. The children are enthusiastic
and anxious to get busy doing things
for Uncle Sam, his boys at the front
and suffering humanity all over the
world.
Here is an example of the work that
has been done by one school auxiliary
which now has thirteen school units
under it's direction. Most of this work
was done when the auxiliary had but
about half that number of units so
we are expecting even greater re-
suits when all get busy at work. This
auxiliary is at Charter Oak, includes
seven rooms in the city schools and
six rural schools. The report came to
us April IS so it does not include all
the work done to date by this one
auxiliary.
This auxiliary has made 10000 gun
wipes, 14O wash cloths, u sweaters, a
couple hundred surgical dressings, a
lot of comfort pillows. Then they
have bought lot of thrift stamps and
baby bonds. A great number Of the
pupils have made war gardens Of their
own, while many others are giving
their parents special help along this
line.
This is fine We expect to have
many more reports like this from 9TH
er school auxiliaries OF our county.
Report blanks will be sent out from
time to time to the several auxiliary
officers.
We want every graded school and
every rural school to become part
of school auxiliary right away and
begin to work.
Get in communication with the chair
man OF your school committee and
he will tell you how to proceed All
should get organized this spring even
though the time is short, because the
children will do much this summer II
rightly started now. Besides we shall
save month or two this fall which
would be needed to organize il we
neglect it this spring.
