Contributions to this column are

The secretary of the kingstree
chapter calls attention to the follow
ing rules and requests that all secre-
taries throughout the county adhere
strictly to them: The names and
addresses of all members with the
full amount of membership dues,
should be forwarded the fifteenth
(not later than the twenty-fifth) of

and not to the division directors.
All donations of money received by

counted for to the Chapter and ny
the Chapter to the Central Commit

branches to retain donations for local
purposes, provided these are proper
Red Cross activities. Such donations
shall be accounted for to the Chapter.
The Junior League of the Kings
tree School is hard at work. They
have hemmed fifty wash cloths, half
dozen dust cloths; have made two
comfort pillows, stuffed with scrap,
and have three quilts in making. The
Juniors under the direction of Miss
Erckmann on Tuesdays and Miss
Heape on Thursdays, are sewing at
the Red Cross work room and have
undertaken to make twenty four pin
azores for refugee children.
The Furman University Glee Club
will give a concert in Kingstree on
March the 18th under the auspices
of the Parent Teachers association
for the benefit of the Junior Red
Cross League, Prices will be zoe
and 35c.
A small number of attractively en-
ameled Red Cross buttons have been
ordered by the local chapter and will
be sold for Csc apiece. More will be
ordered if the demand is sufficient.
1t is to be regretted that so few
women are sewing at the Red Cross
work room. There are very few In
town who are not members of the as
sociation, and one morning or one af-
ternoon each week is very small
amount to give of ones time to such
a cause. Our country is at war, and
war means sacrifice. We do not
know how much longer the war may
last, nor how many more of our loved
ones we may be called on to give up.
1t is the Red Cross that looks after
the comfort of the men, and the Red
Cross is made up of individuals. The
efficiency of the organization as
whole is affected by the work OF each
individual member. The women OF
Kingstree should not let it be said
that the organization has suffered
neglect through them. The work
room is open Monday, Wednesday
and Friday from 1000 until 600
O'Clock. Work is progressing very
slowly. Let every one determine that
better results will be accomplished
during the next two weeks.
