oI the American Red Cross:
 Junior Red Cross.
 The Junior Red Cross, AIr. Schuller. chairman, had to be curtailed by the epidemic of influenza, but in spite of this, there are seventeen organizations in the Central Arizona chapter. All of the allotments given the chapter school committee have been recalled. Some 200 bedside tables are now being made and will soon be shipped.
 The soldiers at Roosevelt and Granite Reef Dam have been supplied with books and other reading matter from time to time. The Mesa Branch sent Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. to the boys and also have rest room and seven free beds for the men when they come to Mesa. This room also contains books, magazines and other 1 literature.
 When the influenza situation became 1 serious in the northern part of the ! state, appeals were made to the Red | Cross for assistance. Special relief was | absolutely essential and immediately | the Chapter arranged to take care Of ! the expense of sending nurses and doc l tors to the points where help was most ! needed. The Chapter advanced the i fares and money for expenses for l dozen or more medical men and about | twenty nurses. Supplies were also sant on request. The supplies included hos pital garments. pneumonia jackets, sur geons gowns, flu masks and other nec- essary equipment. The Chapter took early action on the influenza situation in Phoenix, calling same to the attention of the city offl- cials and urging census ot cases and conditions. The chairman of the chap ter was appointed by the committee ] to represent the county in establishing 1 q temporary hospital. The chairman ! was also appointed to represent the { city in making arrangements for the temporary hospital. At the request of the chapter the Sisters Hospital hur riedly completed the new wing. and ' fitted same up to accommodate influ- enza patients. The survey of the city as suggested by the chapter, was not undertaken. the city officials believing the same was unnecessary at the time ! the suggestion was made. A large supply of hospital garments for local use. as well as great quan- tity of masks were prepared by the production department of the chapter. , and cases requiring attention were looked after by chapter officials and members. Several sections of the state have called upon the chapter in turn for assistance in handling the in fluenza situation in their respective To- calities: especially in the matter of supplying of necessary hospital equip ment, and clothing for influenza pa tients
