The election of Board of Direc-
tors and officers for the Morrow
County Chapter American Red Cross
was held at Masonic Building on
Tuesday evening. The attendance
at the meeting was not large but
Notwithstanding, the interest was
good and lively meeting resulted.
Little difficulty was encountered in
the election Of the Board of Direc-
tors, but when it came to getting
a chairman and secretary, it was IA
different story.
For almost two years past, the
important posts of chairman and
secretary have been filled by Mrs.
Phil Cohn and Mrs. A. M. Phelps.
1t has been a time Of strenuous
work and these two ladies felt that
they could not accept the positions
again, though earnestly urged to do
so. They have fully demonstrated
their ability and the work they had
in charge has been we'll done and is
fully appreciated by all workers Of
the Red Cross. Showing the appre-
citation and esteem in which Mrs.
Cohn and Mrs. Phelps are held, a
rising vote of thanks was extended
them and many regrets were ex-
pressed that they were compelled to
step down and out for the coming
year.
Passing the compliments around,
the post of chairman was offered to
nearly every member present al, the
meeting, and only courtesy to those
not in attendance kept the honor
from being passed up to them also.
After much discussion and per-
suasion, the craftsmanship was
placed upon Mrs. S. w. Spencer and
Miss Mary Farnsworth was duly
elected secretary. NJ d. Clark was
chosen vice-president and H. E.
Storm, treasurer.
The following constitute the Board
of Directors; S. e. Notson, Mrs. j.
A. Patterson, Mrs. F. N. Frye, Mrs.

While it is not expected that
there will be an excessive amount Of
work to be attended to, now that
peace is on the way, yet there Is
much in prospect for the Red Cross,
The general work of relief that fol-
lows in the wake of wars ravages
will have to be looked after and there
will also be the returning soldiers
whose problems the Red Cross Will
have to assist in solving in every
local community. The work of the
Red Cross, from National Head
quarters down has been largely i'm
proved by the experience passed
through the past two years and 1t
is now well systematized and greatly
simplytied.
