RED CROSS NOTES

What the future is going to hold for
the Red Cross is now becoming more
evident in its broader aspects The war
program did not end with the armistice,
nor has ii ended with the signing of the
treaty of peace 1t viii merge gradually
into the peace program, A part of our
army is still in Europe and, while France
is rapidly assuming the responsibilities
within her own borders, our work there
cannot be terminated abruptly. The
calls from Poland, the Balkans, Mace
donna and Russia have forced the send
ing Of new commissions to those coun-
tries to carry, in the name of the Amer
lean people, that emergency relief in
sickness and suffering which only the
Red Cross is organized to carry.
Our immediate obligation is clear: to
carry through to an effective end at
home and abroad the war program I'M
dertaken in the name of the American
people and endorsed by them. There
then remains the inspiring future in
which the new spirit of service born of
the war and symbolized by the American
Red Cross shall be turned TO the proven
ton of disease, the relief of hunger and
suffering, and the improvement of the
conditions under which we live.
Mrs. r. NJ. Saltonstall, acting director
of the New England division bureau of
chapter production, is making an APP,
peal to knitters. She says:
"There is enough knitting to be done
to keep every Red Cross worker busy
all through the summer, There is no
quota because there is no apparent limit
TO the number Of knitted garments need
ed. We cannot begin to meet the actual
demand, but we can do something to pre-
vent the terrible suffering that these
practically naked children will have to
endure the coming winter unless we help
provide them with warm clothing. The
order to stack needles should be forgot
ten. 1t was rescinded long ago. when
the signing of the armistiee and the ees-
sation of fighting gave Red Cross repre-
scntatves overseas an opportunity to
ascertain the actual conditions existing
in eastern Europe.

THE PARCEL POST
BY Carl Philo Brockway

By Carl Philo Brockway
We used to think the parcel post
Was one great enterprise
1t stretched across from coast to
coast
And grew to wonderous size;
1t reached each burg and hamlet by
A network DER the Land
And when we mailed a package, why
1t soon would come to hand.
The farmer'd mail bale of hay
To some far-distant town,
And there in just about day
That hay would be laid down.
The stored post him box of tea,
And crackers. with a bunch
That they would be delivered free
In ample time for lunch.
/ Before AL Burleson was known
We'd ante up our kale,
And then we'd figure out the zone
And order things by mail;
Good Service" was the watchword
then.
And speed thing to boast,
We didn't have to write again
To get a thing by post.
But now the p M. G. is on
The job-which makes 1t late,
The bright word in his lexicon
Must be procrastinate;
For army chow we pay our bills,
For bacon, prunes and pears.
And then we write 1t in our wills,
And leave it to our heirs.
