1t is very gratifying to the chapter
TO have such a remarkable enrolment
to the Red Cross for 1919. 1t was an
ticipated that there would be quite a
falling off in 1919 enrolment, in view
Of the fact that the war was over and
since everybody had SO generously
given to the United War Drive and
Liberty loans. Even though the war
has ceased the work of the Red Cross
must continue for some tine, to as
sist the war devastated districts Of
Belgium. France, Italy and other al
lied countries.
The chairman of the Red Cross
drive, Francis E. Storer, has express
ed his thanks to all those who so gem
| crously gave of their time and ener-
gy in assisting him to make the drive
a success. The drive in this terri
| tory netted almost double the per-
Centage evidenced in other parts of
the country. The town of Killingly
