Relief ASSOCIATION women were in
Glyndon, Mimi, Friday. selling scrub
brushes made by French soldiers
permanently blinded I'm battle, at the
regular monthly meeting Of the Glyn-
don Red Cross workers. The meeting
was held in the room devoted to that
purpose, and was attended by 30 or
more Glyndon residents.
One of the Fargo delegation, Mrs.
II. L. Bolley, gave a highly interest =
ing talk at this meeting, on Red
Cross work in France and Italy. She
told particularly of the work in Italy,
with which she is familiar to Il great
extent through letters from cousin,
Miss Georgia Sheldon. The latter,
when Italy entered the world war,
turned over her beautiful residence
property in the city of Florence, for
a Red Cross hospital, of which she
has the management and for her
loyal service to the cause was pre-
sented some time ago by the King OF
Italy, with the Cross de Guerre. At
the time of the Italian retreat Miss
Sheldon expanded her activities in
aid of the Red Cross by renting a
hotel building in Florence and plac-
ing there 200 additional beds for the
wounded Italians. Several of her
American friends, interested in the
noble work she is doing, have been
sending her money for this Red
Cross work in Italy, from time to
time.
The Fargo women also had on sale
at Glyndon Friday copies Of the book
entitled, Only a Dog, which was pub
lished in the interest of agitation for
re- education of the blinded soldiers.
The scrub brushes above mentioned
bear the names of the soldiers who
made them, and indicate the battles
in which they received their wounds.
