RED CROSS NOTES

Further Instructions regarding the is
suing Of Services Badges have been re-
ceived from the National Committee on
Awards at Washington.
The Service Badge is to indicate that
the recipient has rendered faithful self
sacrificing service on behalf of the Am
erican Red Cross The minimum SER
vice for which badge suspended from
blue ribbon can be slven is eight hun
dred hours. dating from April 1917.
Many inquiries have been received by
the National Committee citing cases
where women. through no fault of their
own, have not served minimum per-
iod of eight hundred hours, and yet
have done exceptional work at great
personal sacrifice. Realizing that injus-
tice would be done in not recognizing
these cases. the National Committee on
Awards has decided that service certi-
ficates and badges may be granted to
women who have rendered a minimum
of FOUR HUNDRED HOURS service,
the opportunity for longer service. hav-
ing been impossible. These badges will
be attached to a different colored rib
bon from that used on the regular Ser
vice Badge. This ribbon will be stand
ardized throughout the country.
1t is the intention and desire of the
American National Red Cross to have
these certificates and service badges
represent an absolute standard of ser
vice.

character of the ore is identical with

years and was full of water when the
present operators took hod.s 1t is

the shaft, where the ore now being
mined was uncovered.
The Fairfield was located by Judge
Michael Klein half century ago and
has always been a producer OF high
grade ore. He took out ore that ran
as high as 10 ozs. gold to the ton and
later sorted the dump and this ore
went 20 ozs. to the ton.
