 Last winter the study club lent valua-
 ble assistance to all of the patriotic campaigns. furnished enjoyable twilight concerts at Camp Mcclellan every week, cooperating with the council of defense, committees from the club visited the
 base hospital weekly, carrying dainties, magazines and flowers, and all of the members did Red Cross work.
 For several years the Wednesday
 Study club has supported a night school at the Addie Weaver nome. where men and women who work during the day have been able to secure advantages that otherwise they would never have had Some of the boys who made fine rec ords as soldiers during the war were educated at this night school. Letters Of appreciation for what these advan- tages have meant to these soldiers were constantly received by the Addie Weav- CT home teachers throughout the period of the war The school will be continued during the coming season. To defray
 the expenses of the night school ths club members will soon give their an- nual rummage sale and will bring to Anniston a lecturer of note. Last win ter Champ Clark lectured under the aus
 pices of the Wednesday Study club.
 The study club takes an active part in all educational projects. having re- gently taken an active part in the illit- eracy campaign.

 Mrs. Richard H. Stickney, chairman of the Calhoun County Red Cross chapter, last week issued letter explaining the splendid peace programme to be cerried out by the county chapter. In addition to service 10 the returned soldiers and their families, the Calhoun County Red Cross will, in common with most of the Red Cross chapters in the State, embark on programme of service to the civil ian population as well. Any person in sickness, sorrow, distress or in need ot helpful advice may claim the services ot the Red Cross.
 This means that for the first time Cal-s houn county has sound. well organized society for community welfare, working on a countrywide basis. Among other things, Mrs. Stickney says in her letter: ''The watchwords of the Red Cross are mercy and service. In changing from an emergency war organization to per- manent peace organization it's one object is to serve. We are attempting to utilize the splendid spirit of self-sacrifice and patriotism engendered by the war for the benefit of our own community, now that we are at peace. We urge your interest and cooperation. We invite your in- spection and criticism. It is not our Red Cross It is yours, and we ask you to help us live up to our great motto, For All Humanity and to carry forward into our peace time lives the precious lesson of loyalty sacrifice and devotion to duty taught us by our heroic dead who lie on the battlefelds of Europe"
