tional headquarters soon realized that
the efficiency of the Chapters was
handicapped by having to write the
National department for all informa-
ton, which at that critical time was
so badly needed. 1t then began its
great standardization, which has
been the keynote to the Red Cross
wonderful success.
+. This decentralization began in di-
viding the United States into Divi-
sons, with the city having the best
shipping facilities as the Division of
flee. The next logical step was to
form County Chapters, all towns hav-
ing an organization being known as u
Branch, and the Branches having com
munity organizations known as Aux
illiaries.
AS most of the local Chapters of
this county were organized before the
decentralization was begun there was
no County Chapter formed until sew
eral weeks ago, at which our Chapter
was changed to a Branch.
Some Chapters in this county had
many Auxilliaries large enough to
have been branches of a county chap
ter and thereby would have received
individual credit for the work done

LEAvENWORTH BRANCH
AMERICAN RED CROSS
New Organization Is Formed Which Is
Here Observation-Disclosures Elected
For the Ensuing Year

TO those interested in the proceed
ings of the Red Cross meeting of the
4th of April, and to the AuXilliaries,
the new organization wishes to eX-
plain why the Leavenworth Chapter
was changed to Leavenworth Branch
American Red Cross, under the super
vision of Bert Adams of the Division
office.
When this Chapter was first organ
lied there was no Northwestern Di-
vision to go to for advice as to the
proper steps to take to proceed with
organization, consequently permission
was obtained either from the office at
San Francisco, or the National head
quarters at Washington, d. c., and
our chapter was organized.
After the work was started in the
various parts of the country the Ma

rather than the chapters. All chap
tiers organized after the organization
of the division were county chapters
with the towns in the county as
branches of the county chapter, thus
for example quotas for work would
come from the county instead of the
division office. Our county has or
ganized into what is known as the
Chelan- Okanogan County Chapter,
with headquarters at Wenatchee. This
should not be confused with what was
Wenatchee Chapter, now known as the
Wenatchee Branch, as the latter is a
local organization. The Leavenworth
Branch elected the following officers
to serve until the regular annual cleo
ton in October.
Mrs. A. B. Wescott, chairman; Mr..
L. r. Hart, treasurer; w. F. Bickel,
chairman Home Service Section and
executive secretary. Executive COM
mittee of five members: Mrs. Wes-
colt, Mrs. Eckhart, Mrs. Mcintosh,
Mrs. Wettstein, Mr. Bickel.
Former Auxilliaries of Leavenworth
Chapter will remain Auxilliaries of

Cross.

Many eastern states manufacturers

As result. when the United States

They adde that after the casters
