No one would accuse the Red Cross
women of Ellsworth OF being slackers,
and yet, possibly because of the armistice
and an impression that the urgent need is
over, the Red Cross is finding difficulty in
getting out enough workers to take care
OF the work in hand. The work is just as
urgent now as ever. The hospitals in
France are full of wounded men, and
many are now being brought to this
country. We still have a big force OF
men in France, and an army OF occupa-
tion must be kept there for come time
yet. The Red Cross must not fail them
now. Turn out and work, everyone who
can sew. Comfortable, heated work
rooms are open at the court house every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from
1.30 TO 5 p. m. One hundred salts of paja-
mas are needed by January 1. This is
but one item of many articles needed.
Everyone who can sew is invited to help.
Ernest l.. Haynes died Monday at his
home on the Surry road, after short i'll
ness. Mr.. Haynes, who recently had been
employed as delivery clerk by Austin H.
Joy, had been feeling ill for a week, suf-
fering, it is believed now, from influenza.
1t was not until Friday, however, that he
went to a physician for some medicine,
but even then he persisted in going to
work Sat urday, and worked until Satur-
day evening. Not until Monday morning
was his condition considered critical, and
at noon he passed away. He had been
suffering from dia betes for some time,
and this, it is believed, hastened the end.
Mr.. Haynes was forty-four years OF age.
He leaves three brothers, George of Bos-
ton, Fred q. and Harry OF Ellsworth, and
one sister, Mrs.W. o. Emery OF Ellsworth.
Another brother, John P, died OF
influenza on September 80. The funeral
