Dear friend:
Have few moments to spare and
was thinking of home and you. Would
like to be where / could have a talk
with you, but our work keeps us over
here, so l guess little letter is the
best we can do. How are you and
what are the politics this year? We
over here are getting along very fine
am not with my old company. Was
transferred to the regular army short
ly after landing, but the biggest part
OF the prlvates are in the same divi-
sion that l am in and 1 see them quite
OFTEN. They are all in good health.
Of course we have lost few of
them and they fought like tigers.
You may tell the parents of the men
that fell in battle for me, that they
did their bit and did it well, and
they laid down their lives for freedom
and liberty of mankind, and that now
they are on the roll of the U. s.
heroes of France.
We are in beautiful part of France.
me country is rolling with fine green
valleys dotted here and there with a
little village and the weather is fine.
Best regards to all.

RED CROSS NOTES

More workers needed at once at the
Red Cross rooms, especially for sur-
gical dressings. All those who have
little time should spend it at the
headquarters, and those who haven't
time, should try and take little lust
the same. Let us all do our share
in this work.
The f. r. A. organization sent a
check to the headquarters the past
week for $104.20, the proceeds from
the Red Cross benefit vaudeville pro-
gram given last Tuesday evening.
The Mary Poor Memorial Bible class
made quilt for the Red Cross. which
was sold at auction, and brought the
nice sum of $1,000 for the local chan
ter
Boxes OF finished articles continue
arriving at the headquarters here from
branches all over the county. The
women are doing splendid work and
accomplishing great deal.
A Red Cross WOmen's Motor Brigade
will be organized in this city, and Mrs.
ID. Z. Everest has been appointed
commander. 1t is expected meetings
will be held this week and plans made
for organizing.
Mrs. R. e. Puchner has resigned
as chairman of the work committee of
the Junior Red Cross, and Miss Susan
underwood has been named her sue
cessor.
Little Elizabeth Zimmerman and 9TH
er children sent $1.51 to the local Red
Cross rooms, the proceeds of a club
and a collection taken up for this pur-
pose.
The various Red Cross CHAPTERS
throughout the country are receiv-
ing much help from the Junior Red
Cross members during the summer,
although the Junior members are q
little harder to get in touch with dur
ing the vacation period. While in
school the members are easily reached
and much work is accomplished by
them. During the summer MANY of
the chapters have called upon the
Junior workers to assist in getting or
ders filled for knitted articles, comfort
bags and hospital supplies. The local
Junior Red Cross finished it's work at
the close of the school year, and
nothing has been done during the
summer months. They will commence
active work again in the fall with
the opening of another school year.
AT Unity the Junior Red Cross mem
bers have been doing work all summer
under the direction of Miss Lueloss.
