ORGANIZATION
RED CROSS
(By Mrs. e. s. Wharton }

The Covington Auxiliary of the
American Red Cross has been doing
splendid work for many months past
but without any formal organization.
This of itself has proved the strong
motive power OF those interested in
this great work. The one and only
thought has been, to make as many
bandages as possible, knit as many
sweaters as possible, and sew as
many garments as possible, for the
need is great.
Under the guide of the parish Of
ficers, assisted by some few other
women, these efforts have been car
ried on, until pursuant to orders re-
ceived from the New Orleans Chap
ter, it was deemed advisable and
necessary to organize the Covington
workers into an independent Aux
iliary with officers and captains for
the different branches of work.
During the period of unorganized
effort a great. deal of the work OF
leadership devolved upon Mrs. j.. II.
Warner, as chairman of supplies.
Now, that the Auxiliary is duly or
sanized Mrs. Warner will have more
time and opportunity to devolp he1
own particular line of work. which
touches all of the Auxiliaries OF the
parish.
Oh Friday last, at the NJ. c. B
l.ihngA meeting was held al which
| time the following officers were eject
ed: Mrs. E. A. Rennie, chairman
Mrs. S. Hartwig, vice-chairman: Mrs
E. s. Wharton, secretary; Mrs F. }
Martindale, treasurer; nrs. Chas
Sheffield, chairman of supplies; Mrs
N. H. FitzSimons, captain of gauzf
work; Mrs. F. C. Talmage, captaiJ
of knitting; Mrs. A. A. Mackie, cap

The Auxiliary counts itself mcr'

| complete and attractive one and i
ideally located for the work. Her

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
have been reading in your valu-
able paper Of what the boys from
Cbvington are doing in camp. So
far, have not read anything from
the boys who are in the Navy, so l
thought l would write few lines.
We have been lover here" for
quite a while. So far we have not
seen any action. We arrived lover
here" after going through one of
the worst storms that our Captain
said he had ever been in. We came
through all o. K.
Not much to see here. We have
been having some mighty cold
weather.
l think the navy is the best branch
of the service one could go into.
did not like it at first, but think diff
ferent now.
The package from the Social Ser
vice Club was received 0. K, and
appreciate it very much. Wish
could tell you more, but the censor
won't allow it.
Hoping we will see quick end OF
the war, I remain.

NO CHANGES IN
THROUGH TRAINS
Transcontinental Schedules
to Remain Same, Says
Garrett King.

There will be no change in the
schedules OF transcontinental passen-
ger trains. as proposed recently.
This is the statement made by Gar
nett King. general passenger agent
OF the FL Paso and Southwestern
railway. Mr.. King had just returned
to FL Paso from a conference Of rep
resentatives of all the great trans
continental lines at San Francisco.
The conference was originally sug-
gested by the passenger heads of
several railways as 4 means Of aiding
the government administration in its
efforts to curtaI passenger traffic.
The schedule maintained BY the mail
carrying lines calls for 6S5s hours
between Chicago and Los Angeles.
II was planned to lengthen this
schedule and make 1t - or IS hours.
This change would allow the trans
continental trains TO make more
stops en- route, and would relieve the
lines OF the necessity for operating
many trains on local runs. Mr.. King
said.
No Need For Change.
The railroad representatives de-
cided that there was no immediate
need for changes in schedules, and
that in some cases they would not be
feasible.
A number Of changes in the man
agement OF the passenger service
have been made by Individual lines,
however. with a view to cutting down
unnecessary haulage. Mr.. King
stated that all observation and club
cars on the Golden State and Cali
fornian Limited trains had been taken
off, and in their places had been
put ten section observation sleerers.
