CHAPTER TREAsURERs.
Miss Lucy slpe.


Miss Lucy sipe served as chapter
treasurer from the time of its organ
ization upon July Goth, 1916, until
September Srd, 1917, when her resig-
nation was received and accepted.
Miss Sipe was intensely interested
in Red Cross work, and only retired
from office because Of physical inabil-
ity to handle the increased volume OF
duties incidental to war demands.
She is member of one Of the city's
most influential families, and though
practically an invalid, takes absorbed
interest in all public affairs. During
her term of service she gave to the
chapter, greatly appreciated and ex-
ceptional work, and 1t was with
regret that her resignation was an
nounced,

large headquarters in the City Build
ing was prodigious, too much empha-
sis cannot be laid upon that executed
by the auxiliaries and circles labor
ing elsewhere. To the faithful auxil-
iary chairmen who came and went
with enormous bundles OF sewing, who
rallied their forces to meet each de-
mand laid upon them, and who cheer
fully and nobly did all that they hao
strength and time to perform be-
I longs a great proportion OF the chap
ter's claim to success.
The Chapter Production was under
the supergissorship of Mrs. Harry
Williamson, thoroughly efficient ana
able director, The work moved along
with smoothness and harmony, and
the rooms at headquarters were. not
only the scenes of whirlwind labor,
but of friendly sociability, as well.
During the period extending from
October list, 1917, to September Slst,
1918, the chapter expended for work
room supplies of all classes, $22,s5O' :
! 43. this included knitting wool, So
Isl SO, gauze, etc, for surgical dress
iings. $1,51S.51, muslin, outing and
other cloth, $7,95S. SO, sewing ma
chimes, and motors, $91 go, cloth cut
ter. s1O5. 90, regimental flag and
small supplies, s21O.7 comfort Kits
$3.50. 2S, miscellaneous, 1888. 56
In the report submitted to the pub
Ilic September Sst, 1918, list Of fin
lished articles was prepared, and
value shown by taking the cost OF
the raw material, and adding fair
amount for labor and other charges
in such manner as followed by any
business firm in computing price
on finished product. This value, which
lin no instance was exaggerated
amounted to the sum Of $67,941 .2S.
Practically 60 percent of the total
money expended by the chapter dur
ing the year 1917-1s1S was for work
room materials, which when turned
out as a finished product had a value
of almost 200 percent in excess OF the
raw product.
Supplies, we're peculiarly fitted fol

chairman of the committee, and had

The organization of Fairmont
Chapter, A. R. c.. was effected July
10th, 1916, at a meeting held for the
purpose In the Christ Episcopal Parish
House at 1O:SO A. NJ, called by Miss
Helen O. Miller. The necessity for
such action became more apparent as
time passed and thS war clouds thick
ened; the urgency grew until the call
could no longer go UNDECIDED.
Through the efforts of Miss Mil
Ter, authorization to organize was
secured from e. A. Moore Director
of the Atlantic Division, and the
following persons were granted au-
thority to establish the Chapter:
| Mrs. C. w. Watson, Hon. C. w.
Watson, Miss Lucy Watson, Mr.
Walton Miller, Hon. A. B.. Fleming,
/ Mr.. NJ. l.. Hutchinson, Mr.. Glenn F.
Barns, Mrs. Nina Miller Thum, and
Miss Helen Miller
Due publicity was given the first
meeting, the citizens of the commun-
ity were urged to foster the movement,
and at the assembly seventy-five
members were secured and the or
ganization effected satisfactorily. The
meeting resulted in the election OF
the following officers: Mrs, Duncan
! Sinclair, Chairman; Miss Helen @.
Miller, 1st. Vice Chairman; Miss
Mary Ellen Henry, 2nd Vice-Chair-
man; Mrs. T. l. Brett, Secretary;
Miss Ethel Heintzelman, Assistant
Secretary; Miss Lucy Stpe, Treas
urer. Before the second meeting was
/ called the resignation of Mrs. Sin
clair as chairman was submitted and
1 Miss Virginia Watson Fleming was
! elected to serve as Chapter Chairman.
Work was at once begun on sur
/ gical dressings and one day each
week was given over to their making.

ed by the chapter was that OF aid ex-

SURGICAL DRESSINGS DEPART
MENT.

Immediately upon organization in
July 1916, the chapter started. work
on surgical dressings. No accurate
count Of the dressings made during
the pre-war period is available, but
several hundred we're on hands at the
time OF systemizing the production TO
meet war demands.
The first fulfilling Of allotment was
that Of supplying complete assort-
ment of dressings for battleship
The work was emergency work. and
a large order for unaccustomed
fingers, but was successfully executed.
Only Eastern chapters were asked
for tbs especial work, because Of
their proximity to the coast. The
chapter chose the Wyoming" to rece-
i've the dressings made, because her
state lag SO far westward that no
chapter organized there could supply
her and 1t was the wish Of The mem
bershlp that this ship Should be
promptly and completely QUILTED
The outfit consisted Of 1,272 assorted
dressings, and was completed and
shipped In seven days.
In November 1917, Miss Loyejoy
came to- the chapter to give instrpc-
tons in the making Of dressings. She
had a Class Of twenty-four members
six of whom were from the chapter
auxillaries, and five from other near
BY chapters. These women finished
the course given by Miss Loyeiog, on
February 18TH. 1918. Miss Ruth Helm

Mrs. o. G. Wilson, wife of Profess

CHAPTER PRODUCTION.

Fairmont Chapter has every reason
t be proud beyond measure Of the
three departments which operated
under that branch Of the work known
as Chapter Production. These three
departments are surgical dressings
hospital garments and knitting. During
the entire period Of war activity the
chapter never failed TO accept and
fulfill each and every allotment as
signed from the Division Headquar-
tiers.
While the work carried on in the

Never IN the history OF the world
has there been any action taken by or
ganized labor, or even one nation to-
wards another, that was 50 entirely
revolutionary and tyrannical as the de-
mands made by the four heads of or
ganiZed labor recently.
Organized labor represents only tit-
teen percent of the population OF the
United States and it seems beyond all
thought that the other eighty five per
cent will permit itself to be made
slaves of oy that fifteen percent.
What Germany proposed to do to us,
had they won the war,was no compare
son to what this labor quartette IS de-
manding. Are the people willing to be
made slaves by such Bolsheviki pow
err? We think not and the labor or
panizations will find it out when 1t
comes to the show down. The very
extlstance of the nation IS a republic
is at stake and when the people become
fully infomed of the true situation the
laborers themselves will repldlate
their leaders.

that the last demand of the railroad
