~ HE WOmen's work along patriot,
lines has advanced merrily al
week. In fact this week has
reached the zenith of the var1o~e &C
tivities, women are carrying on to al
leviate world suffering. Red Cross work
has been continually in the foreground
On Tuesday, when so many people, in.
cluding out-Of- town guests, throngcd the
streets the Red Cross auxiliaries, by
many clever schemes and hard, faith
full work succeeded in raising large
nmount Of money which is needed to
maintain this vast work.
That women are working sincerely for
the sake of the cause and not in obedi-
enee to any mere whim is evidenced
by the heart and energy so many of
them all over Salem arc showing in
their work.
One of the most recent activities is
that of starting an organization in Sa-
lem of the National league for Wom
an Is service. AS yet the Salem branch
of the organization has not been per.
feeted and the officers are not chosen
But as some women felt that the summer
ought not to slip by without efforts to
preserve fruit for use in the army hos.
pitals, they have been taking charge
of this work even though the teehni
cal organization is not finished.
The National League for Woman IS
service is an independent body which
aids the noblest causes in whatever way
1t can. As it is not so highly involved
rs some organizations il renders its aid
in quick and effective manner.
As long as there is fruit donated for
canning the women will meet in the do
nestle science rooms of the high school
on Thursday mornings
A message from one of the Oregon
girls who is doing Red Cross nursing
shows how much this kind of work is
appreciated She says:

in the Red Cross in all ways. Urge
everyone to keep on. l know the cnor-
nous amount Of things we use in our

patients is homemade preserves. / Of.

ferent units at home, who sent them,,
how the boys enjoyed them"
