making things interesting for farm

JUNIORS ARE ASKED TO HELP
ELDERS IN SUMMER WORK
Special Assignments For Younger
Red Cross Workers Will BE
Announced Later

At the Junior Membership confer
ence held in Washington, D. c., the
last week in June, many plans were
outlined. We all realize the neces-
sity of making these plans as definite
as possible and getting them into the
hands of the Chapter School commit
tee at an early date. Many commit
teemen have already written the
Northern Division asking for an out
line of next years work, and we ap-
preciate this forethought and hope
to comply with their request.
The National Junior Membership
department now has a committee on
girls work and on boys work. The
government has given the Junior Red
Cross orders of considerable size.
These consist of manual training work
along reconstruction lines.
Until more definite instructions are
received, let US remind the Chapter
School committees to make nothing
which is not given in the Senior allot-
ment which comes to the county
Chapter. If the Chapter cannot give
the Juniors sufficient work, or if the
allotment is not suitable, interest the
chairman in such activities as are sug-
gested in Miss Justine Cooks "Vaca-
ton Activities" recently sent out to
all chairmen of School committees.
Encourage the children to arrange ex-
hibits of their completed work in
sewing, knitting, woodwork, canning.
cooking, corn growing, etc. The sum-
mer is a good season for their plays,
pageants and carnivals in order to
earn money for financing their work
next year. The program for next
year will need any amount that can

Nv Dear Mrs. French:
We are forwarding you a letter
written by one of the Red Cross hos
pital visitors in France with news OF
your son. As you see by her mes
sage he is not seriously i'll and there
is no occasion for you to worry. The
war department does not send out
notices to the family where the i'll
ness is of such slight nature so you
will not be surprised that you have
not been informed before. Knowing
what excellent care is given to our
men in the hospitals abroad, I can
assure you that everything is done
to make him comfortable and happy
during his illness. We are returning
in the letter check on the Guarantee
Trust Co. of New York No. 1852.
Hoping that you will call on US at
any time, we can be of service, be-
lieve me
