Now that the Liberty Loan, tho War
Savings Stamps and even the REQ
Cross sewing must make way for the
big Red Cross War Fund drive, the
Red Cross Headquarters is a trans
formed place. Saturday officials of
the local chapter, masculine ones and
Boy Scouts in uniform, thronged the
place. It's real help these khaki
clad youngsters are. To-Day 1t Ii head
quarters Cor the big war fund drive.
The task before them Saturday was
to remove all the Liberty Loan posters
and to put up in their stead, Red Cross
War Furd ones. Not that 1t makes q
do. They help in innumerable ways.
One was sorting buttons as quietly and
patiently as could be, and they run
errands, and make themselves indis-
pensable. They certainly have the
right spirit.
There's a boy in Dudley. IL years
old, who has sent in the finest sort OF
q sweater, that he knit himself. It
really is knitted splendidly. Not just
lplendid!y for boy, but one Of the
very finest that has ever come into
this chapter Of the Red Cross. And
that's pretty good record.
FARsoN HAS SOME kNITTERs TOO
Harry Henry. brother OF DR.. c. A.
Henry, the chairman of the splendid
busy Farscn branch Of the Red Cross,
has knitted two sweaters in one week,
besides tending to the switchboard.
Mrs. Hasty of Nrson has knitted
five sweaters and thirty-four pairs OF
socks in three months, and that surely
is going some.
THE RED CROSS HAS BUT TO ASK
Just day or so ago The Courier re-
quested in behalf of the Red Cross a
lambs wool carriage robe, to- complete
an aviators jacket. OF course, those
robes were forthcoming Immediately
Two beauties were proudly displayed
this morning.
