vi wednesday evening Cle Ndlley
county chapter Of the American Red
Cross held it's annual meeting in the
court room Of the court house. The
attendance was not as large as might
have been expected, undoubtedly due
to the fact that war time activities
are a thing of the past and many feel
their obligations to the Red Cross
have been fulfilled. In this, however,
they are in a measure mistaken, as
the peace time program as mapped
out by the officers of the organiza-
tion is vastly important, and the big
gest program of it's kind yet under
taken.
One of the most important features
of the annual meeting was the election,
by ballot, of the executive board, which
took place after the reading of the
various reports by the heads Of the
different departments. 1t resulted as
follows: F. B. Gillette, Hinsdale; Mrs.
A. Torkelson, Nashua; V. R. Hail.,
Opheim; Mrs. B. B. Delay, Lismas;
Carl Ackerman, J. L. Slattery, R. M.
Lewis, Mrs. D. S. Williams, Mrs. G
H. Roberts, Mrs. S. L. Rugg, L. E.
Jones, Peter West, and Mrs. A. N.
Peterson of Glasgow. This executive
board will in turn elect the chairman
and other officers of the chapter.
Owing to an unavoidable delay, E.
]. Ecklund, Montana field representa-
tive of the Red Cross, was not pres
ent to deliver the address of the eve
ming. However, the splendid reports
given at this time were of vital in
terest and laid before the members
the possibilities of the future, through
review of the accomplishments of
the past.
The meeting was called to order by
President Carl H. Alderman. j. L.
Slattery, chairman of the executive
board, was called upon, and in few
words outlined the roll call drive which
is to be made the week of November
2 to IL. He urged the need of the
drive, and his remarks called atten.
tion to the fact that all current mem.
berships expired on the 31st of De.
cember.
Mrs. Ruth Deveny then gave the sec
retary's report from the time she as
summed the duties of that office W
to the present. 1t was a most credit
able report and was unanimously &C
cepted.
