Fr. Bernard Chairman
Red Cross Roll Call
Rev. Fl. Bernard Heads Fort Yates
Red Cross Roll Call Week Of
December 18th 20 23rd

Rev. Father Bernard has been
appointed chairman for the Fort
Yates district for the Red Cross
Christmas Roll Call week of Dec.
enber 1923.
The Red Cross Christmas Roll
Call is for the purpose Of securing re.
newals of membership for the year
1919, and also enroll everyone who
are not members. 1t is the pur.
pose to enroll in the Red Cross
membership every man, woman
and child il the United States. The
membership fee is one dollar. A 81
membership includes years's sub
scription to the Red Cross Maca-
zine.
Fr, Bernard has appointed a
committee Of the following ladies to
secure renewals and new members:
Mrs. j. B. Kitch, Mrs. N. Scip.
pei, Mrs. NJ. A. Berg and Mrs.
Jones. This committee will try to
call on everyone in the city. But
should they miss anyone the pa-ty
can save the committee time and
annoyance by paying the member
ship fee to Fr. Bernard either in
person or by mail.
Now since the war has closed
there is much work for the Red
Cross. The European countries en.
gagged in the late conflict, will need
material assistance in the way Of
food, clothes, medical supplies and
relief work. This can best be done
through the. agency OF the Red
Cross. Remember Roll Call Christ
mas and donate your dollar or two.
The list Of memberss will be pub
lished later in the Pioneer.

railroad station canteen service, and
Ethe big canteens with the writing
rooms and showers and libraries, and
lounges where a fellow can rest q
while, but the boys who have beeR
there insist that they love the little
rolling canteens that just naturally
spring up where you least expect them,
most Of all.
Many well known names are on the
lists Of canteen workers, for Amerl.
can women were quick to seize the op-
Cportunity for service. The poorest
|sosdier on his leave may be served by
ian American woman whose hospitality
was formerly dealt out by her maids
land buffers and whose guest lists In
cluded only the most fashionable
names In the social register. Now It
is she who hands over the pie with
her own hands and then gathers up
the dishes-ycs, and oftentilmes washes
them when help is scarce, for they
have to be washed and made ready
for the next lot of soldiers-and one
cannot disappoint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the cali
of duty.
| Another part of the canteen service
is the "store," where the soldiers are
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat Of
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
led out, razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes, all sorts of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages Of cigar
;ettes. y.
Taking It all in all, the canteen does
far more than all the stomachs Of the
men-it puts something worth while
into their hearts.

Although Germany, while yet

make war on us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us protesting loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this IS
not our war and appear unable to real
iZe that the defeat of the boche is as
vital to us Americans as was the VIC
tory of 1776.
Then We declared for independence;
now we fight TO maintain It,
II is not merely that we fight In
answer to indignity and material In
Jury done US through attack on our
rights as nation and on the lives
of our citizens-not merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
nles-that we are at war: but literally
for our self preservation as republic.
To muzZle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arns-that the
world shall be safe for the frecmen OF

The world cannot rest in peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other

The world cannot live in peace with
a people that commits, or permits her

One doctrine or the other must pre-

WHAT the VICTORY on

Germany's victory would mean all
,hat the alarmists have said-:he set
back of humanity, democracy, civillZa'
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for victories-a record rs
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains It's
old form-even as beaten ring cham

 Welfare work is carried on at Bordesu. St. Nazaire, Tours. Brest and Langres. Two welfare launches and 50 autos are kept in constant use by the workers in France. With in the last five months Christian Scientists have raised and spent TOT relieF work, without making any appeal, over one million dollars according to an article War Work and Christian Science" published in the september issue of the Touch stone (New York;.
 The war work of the Christian Science women is like the work or any other of the organizations churches, or clubs, scattered over the nation. Socks, sweaters, helmet wrisilets, gaunltets and comfort kits are mad and sent overseas to bring comfort and warmth to the Christla Science soldiers in the trenches. Sey eral hundred comforts forwarding committees have been established with headquarters at Boston.
 The New York women alone com pIeted between twelve and fifteen hundred garments weekly for refu- gees. Hundreds of sheets, pillows pillow cases, stretcher slings, knitted articles, and refugee garments have been made and shipped where need ed.s
 It is all volunteer work. Word was sent out to the Bub-committeeS that money, garments, knitted articl an+ comfort kits were needed and immediately the finished articles Dega to pour in to the Boston head quarte CTS.

WAR WORKERS
 AID REFUGEES

The Help Wanted" sign used to be found only in the advertising columns of the daily papers. It was read with interest only by the house wiz, in search of a maid, or the business man on the look out for an office boy. Today the phrase occu- pies a pretty large amount Of space in the press and in the minds of the people, only it isn't always written in black and white and it doesn't run in columns. It is inscribed over the devastated countries of Europe; il springs uU in the path of the re treating Hun. And every organlza- tion here at home is answering it's call as fast as the knitting need les can drop the rows of yarn, ana tn. thimoled fingers can Sew the yards and yards of seams that make up t'e needed garments.
 tQn Christian Science women have been hard at work in war relief ac- tivities, but so very quietly that the majority of people have no idea Of just how much has really been ac- comp,ished by this organization.
 The forwarding committee of Cor doYe has just completed a splendid contribution and the shipment has beer made to the main comforts forwarding committee at Boston. The box comprises over 70 garments for refugees and p pairs Of socks fo the soldiers. The garments in clude dresses ana underwear for girl. of 12 years, woolen hoods hand towels and boxes of thread. The articles are all new and well made. The material was cut at the home of Mrs. A. J. Adams and the women finished the garments at home
