Cross Chapters

The following letters have just
been received by the local Red
Cross.
"To all chapters: A plan has been
perfected whereby the final mailing
date for Christmas parcels for SOL
oilers overseas has been extended to
Novmber 80. The plan also includes
Ia provision for furnishing Christmas
labels to individuals who have not
received labels from soldiers in the
American Expeditionary Forces upon
the receipt of signed application
stating that the applicant is the
nearest of kin in the United States,
that no label has been received from
abroad and that should one subse-
quently be received it will not be
used The application must also
state that to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief only one Christ
mas parcel will be sent to the pro-
posed recipient.
"This arrangement has been made
at the request of the war department
to prevent DISAPPOINTMENT to those
who have rot received labels from
abroad and is intended to insure the
delivery of one parcel to each man
Yours very truly, Edmund D. Brooks. -

who has not yet received an address
label from boys overseas.
ITO Minnesota chapters: The
generosity of the Minnesota chapters
in supplying clothing for the people
suffering from the forest fires has
been so great that all present needs
have been met.
Chapters or Junior auxiliaries hav-
ing supplies of such clothing on hand
are requested to hold the same until
it can be determined by the fire re-
lief commission whether a further
quantity is needed. If the clothing
cannot be used to advantage in
Northern Minnesota it is probable
that it can be sent to Belgium, where
the need is very great.-F. F. Hef-
felfnger. division manager"

FOR DECEMBER
First Sunday in Month Is to Be
Known As Conservation
Day; Notes

The new sugar allotment allowing
an increase to four pounds per cap
tia for household use and four pounds
for every ninety meals for the public

where the supply is sufficient, that
allotment can be made approximating
normal use until such time as the
new Cuban crop of raw sugar is in
plentiful supply.
