The Nashville Red Cross, besides
the local work, finds time TO go about
over the country and organize other
auXiliaries and put them to work.
Tuesday afternoon ten ladies from
Marshville went to KNOXVILLE and or
ganized with thirty-eight members.
Mrs. w. o. Harrell, vice-chairman,

work.

which was organized two weeks ago
has completed almost a dozen suits
and had an ice cream supper TO make
money for more material. Plainly,
there are no slackers in the Marsh
vile Red Cross bunch. All this Is
being done despite the fact that this
