complished since il was organizec
But 1t seems that finis is TO be writ
ten upon It's records, and flourish

Client history just at a time when.
throush It's parent organization. il
would be better prepared than ever
before To be benefit to the COM
munity However those who in the
past iahored for the success of the
Marshrille Red Cross have the con-
ISOLATION OF knowing that il did good
WORK before il came TO an untimely
end through lack of interest and SUP
port since the close OF the war.

said III the officers can't do il
themselves get out and let someone
in who can. We can IMAGINE what
Or, McAllister's opinion would be OF
officers who not only did not find the
source Of the whiskey themselves. bur
do rot even hire a detective TO do it
for them. The drinking in this sec
ton has been very noticeable of late.
but We have not heard of anything
being done about IL. What effect does
