IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT
ENLIST IN THE
RED CROSS
Make Your Time And Your
Dollars Count For The
Boys Over There

i All of the Branches in the county
will be at work during the week of
June the 23nd.. The Drive is suppos-
ed to be completed by the 25th so
that it will not interfere with the
w. S. S. National week.
| Miss Cortelyou has sent to each of
the Chairmen in the county letter
j of instructions regarding the drive
In cases where the members were en-
rolled in September or later they will
not be expected to renew until the
time their membership has expired,
although it would be great help with
the bookkeeping if we could have all
of our members in the county renew
at this time. 1t would be an act of
patriotism if those who joined in the
fall would disregard the few inter
vening months and renew at this
time.
We hope to make a record break
ing drive of this one, and to at the
very least, double the membership in
the county. Just think what the dol
lar you give to be member of the
Red Cross will do. You give dol
lar and it helps to keep warm and
we'll the boys who are fighting for
all of us. You give a dollar and it
helps to bandage the wounds that
our boys are willing to bear that our
homes. our women, our children and
our old people may be spared the hor-
rors of the war on our own land.
/ Isn't a dollar as little as we can do?
1.-The membership in the Red Cross
does not mean that you will have to
do a single thing more. All work
and service of every kind is absolute
ly voluntary. 1t would seem that
this is statement necessary for the
officers of the Cobb county Chapter
to make again and again, as we are
so often asked, eff / join the Red
Cross, will / have to go to France or
will | have to nurse the soldier"
Of course we tell such inquirers that
to nurse in a Red Cross Hospital,
requires that the nurse must be
registered graduate nurse who has
had certain training.
Red Cross Nurses
There is a great need for addition
al nurses and request has come
from headquarters for the registra-
ton of all graduate nurses. All the
graduate nurses in the county are
requested to register with Miss Cor
telyou. A committee on nurses VIII
be announced next week, but IN the
meantime Miss Cortelyou will receive
the registration. There will be
need Off nurses in their own commu-
nity for those who are so situated
that they cannot volunteer for active
service, in this way a nurse who can
not serve her country at the front,
can release some other nurse who can
do active work.
Next Surgical Dressings Class
Register at the work room for the
next class in Surgical Dressings by
the 18th of June. 1t requires week
to receive permission from headquar-
ters for the starting of new class.
Roll of Honor

Dressings, $500. Miss Lottie Lou
Murray's Sunday School class to Sur
gical Dressings, $1,000.
The Surgical Dressings rooms VIII
be opened at a O'Clock during the hot
weather. Remember that the boys
are fighting even if the weather is
hot. and that Surgical Dressings are
needed as much if not more during
the hot weather. Unless the women
who have learned to make the dress
ings, come to the work room regular
". the allotment for the month of
