CITY LEADS IN "
REDCR0SS WORK

You may say that Grand Forks
has the outstanding Red Cross chap
ter IN the state" said Mrs. A, J. Cum.
ming to a Herald reporter today, in
an interview regarding. the status of
the local organization among the
chapters of the northern division. Mrs.
Cumming, director of. publicity of the.
northern division. was in the city to-
day, comforting with Red Cross off,
Gals on the question of publicity. Con-
ditions here are most favorable, she
reports.
Having just returned from a trip
throughout Montana. where she in
vestigated chapter publicity conditions
there, Mrs. Cumming said that the
Red Cross has outlined a definite
peace program and publicity of its
work is particularly DESTROYS to make
the service most effective. Among,
the problems which will be met by
the home service department of the
Red Cross is the care Of all soldiers
in every county in the division, who
have suffered any physical debility.
What proved to be one Of the most
effective means of enlisting renewed
interest in the after wa work of the
Red Cross, is The plan of conducting
the regional conferences in various
sections throughout the district. This
idea originated with the Grand Forks
chapter. Mrs. Cumming said today,
and 90 much, cannot be said for the
help that such conferences have been
to h divisional workers. The region
al conference held in Grand Forks
this past March was the beginning Of
the series of conferences which since
then have been held in every section
in Montana. and a number of sections
in Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota. Thousands of people
have participated in these meetings,
and renewed interest in Red Cross ac-
tivity has resulted. &'AE ~.
Mrs. Cumming left this noon for
Minneapolis. where she will fesume
her work at the division headquarters

The fact that the NC 4 was the
first of the three planes to zach the
Azores drew. comment from naval Of
ficers here.
This ship was the lame duck Of
the division. Three Of the four Lib
erty motors which drove the ship to
the Azores were installed after it left
Rockaway Beach because Of trouble
with the original motors.
Commander Read was forced to
land at Chatham Light Mass, on the
first leg Of his flight to Newfound-
land. He again was forced to make
a landing on the way from Halifax;
to Trepassey to make repairs and at
sTrepassey another new motor was put
in the plane beorey It started over
seas. Despite theseJhandicaps the N
CA led the way to the Azores prac-
tically all night.

distinction of being first to cross the

METHOOISTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an Inspiration Says
Or. Fisher.

DR.. Fred Fisher of New York, who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary OF the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
ton to the job of modifying Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July IL.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman OF
the Methodist Church. he says: I'VE
must stress four things. First, this
will be a big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists of the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any 10 previous years of their ex-
istence Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory
In the second place. this Is an OPP
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities or
which they have been talking for the
oast year but of which they have no
personal knowledge. OF these $4,000
men, only a negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity Of going
abroad. AL the celebration they can
get the trip around the world/at their
convenience
Third. this Is the time to finish
the Job, to gather inspiration and in
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important OF all.
il the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back of it hold.
it must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. AS
we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter
prises that can be measured only in
terms of another century. We must,
in a word, weld ourselves together in
great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR. Fisher indicated that $50 train
ed executives in addition to the 49,
900 volunteer workers. will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.
