er in the Columbia school. This
coming fall other auxiliaries will
be formed among the schools of
the county. The zeal shown by
the Junior members Of the Red
Cross should be a stimulus to
their elders. They have taken
deep interest in their work and
have contributed to the supplies
sent out in no mean degree.
The Goldfield Junior organiza-
ton, among other things, under
took to supply every enlisted and
volunteer soldier with a soldiers
kit" which was greatly appreci-
ated by the recipient. The Juniors
supplied all the money needed for
their supplies; in fact, through
their entertainments and other ac-
tivities they turned into the chap
ter treasury more money than
they requisitioned for supplies.
Mrs. Harry Moon was the chair
man of the Junior Red Cross adj
visory COMMITTEES; she had organ
lied and conducted a Junior or
g%anization with great success, be-
fore the schools took hold, and
under her management the Juniors
will continue during the summer,
the school board having supplied
working quarters at the high
school for their purposes.
I wish to give testimony to the
valuable services of Secretary w.
E. Zoebel, who has so efficiently
and cordially served the chapter
during the past year. Notwith-
standing the pressing duties of
his occupation. he has kept the
records in a truly professional
manner, has looked after the in
Vulnerable details of the organi-
cation, and withall has been so
gracious and exceeding patient.
The affliction that came to him
only last month touched the heart
of every member of our chapter
and drew out our deepest sympa-
thy.
Only within the past week Mr..
Zoebel found 1t necessary to re-
sign as secretary, as a death in
the office force where he is m
ployed multiplied his duties so
that he could not possibly take
charge of our work further. Mr..
w. Bert Ward was appointed to
fill the position, pending an cleo
ton.
Mrs. Aspland left Goldfield
about a month ago, to remain dur
ing the summer or longer, and
Mrs. l.. l.. Patrick has been filling
her place very acceptably since.
Mention should be made of the
highly efficient services rendered
the Red Cross in the last War
Drive by Mr.. w. S. Phillips. who,
with his secretary, Mr.. Bert Ward,
organized the work so we'll and
gave of their time and energies
so unstintingly, that they exceed
ed in results anything that posi-
bly, could have been expected.
With the beginning of a new
year we are facing graver war con-
ditions than ever; where we have
had less than a half million of
our troops abroad the past year,
we will have millions the coming
year. The demands upon the Red
Cross, therefore. will be doubled
and trebled, and we must start
the year with the determination
to do our part, whatever the de-
mands made upon us, and not
weary in well-doing."
We must have more workers.
more sewers, knitters and workers
in the surgical departments. A
few cannot be expected to carry
on the work, however devoted
they may be to the cause. The
men, of course, cannot work in
these departments, but they will
do their part in marshalling the
necessary finances.
In conclusion, I wish to con-
graduate the chapter upon the
harmony that has existed through
out the year. and upon the patri-
otto zeal and enthusiasm proven in
a substantial and unmistakable
way, which gives promise of a sue
cessful year to come.
May God bring us victory and
speedy and lasting peace.
