RED CROSS


Usually gathering Of any kind
loses something in a postponement.
I me Red Cross Conference proved an
exception to this rule. however. as
the all day session, held Friday at
Christ church parish house, was
| largely attended. and the complete
program given as planned. One
could but feel thrill of pride in the
ladies of Gardiner and vicinity and
the magnificent war work that they
are doing. 1t seems as though all
the branches OF Red Cross work in
the city and SURF ounding towns are
being skillfully and efficiently handled.
Mrs. Z. Fl. Gray and many of the
other workers are giving practically
all their time to the work. At the
meeting not only was the Gardiner
Chapter and the Randolph Unit wei
represented. but the branches as well,
many coming fo4' long distances over
muddy roads in order that they might
learn to make their work more eff
cient. Both morning and afternoon
sessions We're intensely interesting, a
daily lunch being served at noon.
Al the forenoon session the War
Funo campaign vas clearly outlined
~ the Chapter chairman, Mrs.
Charies II. Gray and the War Fund
Chairman. J. Walter Robinson. The
problem OF Home service was dealt
upon at length bH Mrs. Bickford and
Hon. r. l.. GooGSpeed The latter be
ing the chairman of the Bureau Of
information on Home Service. Fun
Information regarding the family al
IotmeRt, war risk insurance was Civ
en- and the branches instructed as 10
their duties in giving information to
me iamllles Of drafted men. DR.. Ger
trude Heath gave an address on First
Ald and made a fervent appeal for
ked Cross nurses.
After the serving of lunch, Rev.
NJ. G. Folsom showed upon the screen
pictures Of the ruined cities and
churches of France and Belgium. r

iliary and the enrolment in rho
