A conference was held at the office
of David Anderson in Paw Paw on

determining the amount of money
that would be needed by the War
Board for war activities of Van

1919. Those present at the confer
ence were:-David Anderson, Chair

chasino Committee of the Red Cross

ings Department would call for about

mands for local Civilian Relief. equip
ment, printing, etc. The conference
decided that the County will need for
the period aforementioned the sum
Of $4,000. The conference directed

SCHOOL NOTES

Two more victories were added to
this years winning column last week
when the high school defeated Hart
ford 21 to 3 and Allegan 9 to z.
The first was a championship game
and the first with Hartford this year
while the Allegan victory was the
second over that team thus far this
season. Both contests were featured
by heavy hitting, and as whole the
team looked far stronger than at any
previous time. Dow and Poole fur
nished the battery during the Allegan
game and throughout the greater
share of the Hartford game though
Bills and Ferguson both did part of
the hurting against the county boys.
Poole's catching is improving with
each game and by the end of the
season he will be a worthy battery
mate for Dow.
Wood, who pitched for Hartford
has a peculiar delivery and with
better support would have kept the
score down.
mostly of freshmen and in year or
two should be contender for county
honors.
Bills who was relieved by Ferguson
in the ninth was not taken out for
fear of slaughter but to allow Fer
guson a little practice.
Holcomb replaced Manning at first
during part of the Allegan game and
filed the position with credit.
Nit didn't work until the ninth
against Allegan but just lobbed them
over owing to a sore arm. When
Allegan threatened however in the
last inning, he settled down and put
them back in one, two and three
order.
Poole's catching at Allegan was
highly commendable. He pegged
three men out who tried to steal and
in the last part of the game had
them stopped still.

SURGICAL DRESSING NOTES

The following ladies received cross
es the past week.-Mrs.. George
Pugsley, for 80 hours service. Mrs
B. l.. Sowle for ~ hours service.
Mrs. Boyd Clapper for 80 hours SER
vice and Mrs. j. G.. Boess for 32 hours
service.
BY brand new arrangement, work
will be handled hereafter only in
quotas. For this reason our quotas
will be larger. The present month";
quota has not yet arrived, but work
ers will be urgently needed on Friday
and Saturday of this week, when a
part of our delayed work will be on
hand. We have now a great plenty
of gauZe.
The Government has taken over
the output of most of the gauze in
this country for the purpose of get
ting the material at a uniform price.
Bruce d. Smith, Manager Central
Division Headquarters, says: "There
is absolutely no intention of the
American Red Cross to transfer the
making of surgical dressings to the
other side of the Atlantic. The work
ers are here and the supply of gauze
is assured"
Mrs. Clapper is the first lady from
the East-of-Town club to earn her
cross, and it is especially commend
able in that, her automobile was out
of commission, she twice walked to
town, four miles in the midst of this
busy grape-tying season, rather than
fail her pledged time. The example
of this patriotic woman is reproach
to those Of us who can get to the
rooms so much more easily.
There have been many questions
and some misunderstanding about
the wearing of crosses. To settle
these we print the following from
the Central Division Bulletin from
Chicago Headquarters: "Aprons
should be worn in all workrooms, and
in Surgical Dressings workrooms, the
head must be covered. The express
sion "sign up for definite hours"
simply means that in order to earn
the right to wear the emblem. women
must promise definite time and not
merely come to the rooms when they
have nothing else to do. This applies
to workers in workrooms. There
are many faithful workers doing
splendid work outside of the work
rooms who truly merit reward for
service, but this branch of the work
presents too many difficulties to be
satisfactorily solved as yet. AS soon
as we have any authority to give
crosses for work done outside we will
be very glad to do so."
The following extract from the
Central Division Bulletin is very
much to the point at this time:
"Be a True Red Cross Soldier
"The time is near at hand when all
Of us must show that we are good
Red Cross Soldiers especially those
who are actively engaged in the pro-
duction of supplies. AS you all know
there have been complications in
supplying raw materials which the
workers turn into various campleted
articles. These complications have
been unavoidable and there will like
w be more unavoidable ones in the
future. 1t behooves every chapter
and every worker to do his or her
best to minimize the disadvantages
Of these complications to the last de-
gree. How? BY following orders
with true, faithful. military precision
Do the work that is called for and in
the way it is called for, and do moth
ing else. You will then be a genuine
and effective worker, helping the
army and the navy and your country.
