RED CROSS NOTES

The Memphis Red Cross canteen will
make a merry Christmas for every SOL
der who happens to be passing through
the city on Christmas day. There will
be many who will miss connection with
trains or who will not quite reach home
on this day.
They are passing through now at the
rate Of 1000 a day, an average OF 200
detached and troop train loads a day.
Mrs. w. s. Myrick, with members Of
her committee, have with a great deal
OF pleasure and love ror the work,
planned for Christmas day. Each can
teen room will be brightly and artis-
tically decorated in holly and cedar,
where long tables are TO be arranged
which will be laden with good things
prepared in the canteen kitchens under
the, supervision of the committee. Huge
turkeys will grace the board and a
soldier boy will be asked to sit at the
mead and carve. A nomelike atmos-
phere will envelope the rooms. A tree
IN each canteen will beat a gift for
each man who enters from his train
and passes the day or part of 1t there.
p This department Is very busy and will
continue so until all the men return
home from overseas. 4
Wednesday 10 from overseas passed
through Memphis and were shown over
the city during time between trains.
by the motor corps OF the chapter.
Anticipating the JOY and gladness
that they could extend to the men
would not be able to spend Christmas
at home, members of the committee
have been very active in making a
special collection Of old auto tires in
Court square, where II is convenient
for every one to drive by and cast into
the pile the contribution Of an old
tire, The pile there now is valued at
81, 800. The committee hopes to in
crease the number OF tires to the value
of 81, 900 by Monday wnen competitive
bids will be held, This sum will be
used toward the Christmas entertain
ment of the soldiers and sailors above
mentioned and the routine attention
daily.
Each month the canteen committee
receives the praise o. chapter officials
for the wonderful way II meets over
th~ree-fourths of It's expenses from the
sale OF tin foil. old tires and other
sources. During November It's expenses
were $1,070.SS and $TS9.55 of this
amount was made thus, only the $2S0.S3
paid from the chapter treasury.
Help these energetic women to. raise
this So, 900 by contributing an old tire.
One day this week two express wagons
came In from patriotic people OF Mis-
sissippi towns, Help the pile grow by
Monday to the value of $1,000. r
