The first meeting of the Red Cross ladies, under the new regime,

 Those present at the meeting were Mesdames M. J. Cooney, R. J. Diven, Alex Fowler, s. E. Ivey,

 The meetings for the purpose
 of making garments for the Bel gians are held every Friday after noon at the Nenana club rooms, which have been kindly placed at the disposal of the local Red Cross
 branch by the club membership. The meetings commence at 1 80 in the afternoon and as there is much work to be accomplished for the
 needy Belgians, it is to be hoped that Nenana ladies, who have at all times been foremost in matters of patriotic endeavor, will respond as heartily as before.
