JOTTINGS FROM 522

Regular meeting called to order
and the routine of business dis
patched. All officers were present
except Bro. Siegel.
After all business was concluded
the Local was declared an open meet
ing in honor of Joe McKenna. The
committee had certainly not over
looked anything that was needed to
help along a good time. The members
were all formed in line at the kit
chen door, where each one was handed
his plate of eatables and a bottle of
pop or a glass of suds (mostly suds).
At the conclusion of round one the
address of welcome was given, after
which Earl Phenis and Walter Hum
mel entertained the gathering with an
up to date duet. Harold Johnson,
who was serving as kitchen mechanic,
managed to escape long enough to
assist Ray Pryor in fancy dancing,
after which he served round two
(more suds). The acrobatic song and
dance that was to have been put on
by Clyde Weber and Curtis Fry did
not materialize, as Curtis failed to
appear, so the pipe shop glee club
was called on to officiate in their place
Bro. Parr, of the round house, finger
ed the ivory like an old timer, while
the melodious voice of w. D. Jones,
the leader, brought tears to the eyes
of some and hearty applause from
others. Bro. Harold Sullivan, who
was acting as host, called up on yours
truly to act as POSTMASTER and say
something nice about Joe. Of course
We could not refuse, SO after we had
done our best (Which was none too
good) and had taken Joe by the hand,
smokes were announced. Round three
was then served, ice cream and cake,
to all but Bruce Mallonee who called
for more suds, and as everybody had
left their hammer and maui at home
and the president had taken the
handle out of his gavel there was no
chance to make a knock although
Bruce brought quart glass from
home with him. The euchre table
was never idle, soon as any one be-
came tired some one was always
ready to fill the vacancy. Bro. Fred
Skinner was declared champion, and
of course won the prize. There was
to have been a solo by Carol Siegle,
"There will be no Hebrew sailors
where the river Shannon flows" and
as Carl has very sweet voice (for
ice cream) we certainly missed him.
Clyde Stephens, who was to have
taken a flash light picture of 522
failed to be there. Some say he has
got the auto bug (poor Clyde).
The members of 522 had rattle
box made to order as a present to
Bro. Watts for his infant daughter,
and as Bro. Watts was not present it
was presented TO him the next morn.

that he has in his power the success

that violations of the law will be

REFUGEES IN NEED OF
ALL KINDS OF GARMENTS

Every kind of garment, for all
ages and both sexes, is urgently
needed. In addition, piece goods,
light, warm canton flannel and
other kinds of cloth from which to
make garments for newborn babies,
ticking, sheeting, and blankets,
wooden goods Of any kind-and
shoes of every size are asked for.
Scrap leather 10 needed for repair
ing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subject
ed to the hardest kind of wear, only
garments of strong and durable ma
teriaIs should be sent. 1t is useless
to offer to any afflicted population
garments Of fIimsy material. Make
the gifts practical. =
Garments need not be in perfect
condition. Many thousand Gesti-
tute women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn small livelihood
by repairing gift clothing and max
ing new garments adapted to needs
with which they are familiar.

During hos.iIities the refugees
were driven from their homes by
German bombardment, or, if they
attempted to remain In the path of
the Huns advance, they were made
civilian prisoners and deported to
Germany to work in the Boches
fields and factories. With the ar
mistice their thoughts and amb
tions turned toward the places they
once knew as home, and following
the irresistible call Of their hearts
they came back to find nothing but
desoIation and ruin.
All over that immense waste Of
territory known as the devastated
and liberated areas, they can be
found today living m dugouts that
served as shell shelters for the con-
tending armies, in rudely construct
ed shacks and dark cellars.
WHY DO THEY STAY?
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY
PLACE THEY CAN CALL HOME!

which important and desperate strug.

including 1900 persons, were aided
with distributions Of clothing in few
weeks.
In Voges, a badly destroyed village
a few miles from Laon, thirty refu.
gees returned directly after the arms
tice, just about the time winter set in.
A few bags, three wheelbarrows, two
baby carriages and a quantity of sugar
beets was the sum total Of their pos,
sessions. They sat about fires, which
were fed by the wrecked furniture and
timbers Of their homes, eating the
beets. They were unable to venture
far from the glow of the fires because
of lack of proper clothing. This the
Red Cross felt that it must supply

imately 100000 refugees unable to re
turn to their homes before spring. One
of the main reasons why they could
not go back Immediately to begin work
OF reconstructing their wrecked homes
and commence life anew was because
they lacked the proper clothing to
withstand the rigors of winter.
Commenting on the situation, a re-
port of the Red Cross says: There

novels of Paris, living in compact
masses, in overcrowded quarters,

That the principal sufferers from
lack of clothing among the refugee
population are the women and chill
dren, is shown from the report of one
Red Gross clothing dispensary in
Paris, covering the months of Septem-
Der, October, November and Decem-
Der last 1t aided 7,76S refugees, dis
tributing among them 40,817 garments.
OF the number aided 6,112 were wo-
men and children and 1,775 were men,
Up to September 1 of last year the
Red Cross had distributed nearly half
"a million articles of clothing to refu-
gees in the Paris district alone.
An Illustration of the increasing de-
mand for clothing among the refugees
of France can be seen in a report on
the western district of the country. In
September the number aided was 49,
943; in October it increased to 1883,

All efforts to locate the man
from Ell Paso have failed and
the general opinion is that he is
amyth. His existance was first
suggested by the remarks of
Reed when he was asked if he
had any suspicion as to who
might have committed the
crime. Reed then said his wife
told him there was man here
whom she had known in I'll
Paso, and She did not care to go
ON the streets for fear of meet
ing him. He then spoke of the
time when she was lit in tie
head with a billy by a man in
that city. Reed said he had not
asked his wife for the mans
name.

What a Savings Account

A Savings Account en-
Courages thrift, economy

master and overcome the
temptations to yield to those
petty appetites and passions
of our human nature which
dissipate our earnings. 1t

rightness of conduct, and
adds an endearing charm to
our homestead which we

Food and cIothes! Just the bare
necessities for keeping the flame of
life burning in the human body.
That is the appeal more than one
million people in Northern France
and Belgium are making to the
more fortunate people Of their Al
lies.
Men, women and children Of all
ages raise their voices in the cry.
Most of them are refugees-the
people who were unfortunate
enough to fave settled in the re-
gions of Europe which were over
run by the invading army OF the
Germans. They were no more to
blame for their misfortunes than
the comfortable citizens of Kansas
or Pennsylvania. Vet they have
suffered untold miseries in this

When they were driven from their

hordes they took with them only
the clothes they had on their backs.
In returning to their homes many
wear these same clothes, worn by
months and even years of weary
wandering. But even the best of
clothes with the best of care do not
last forever.
What's to be done?
The people of America, Iaborers,

Of the Paris district
Some idea of the enormous need
for clothing among the refugees
of the devastated and liberated
regions of France and Belgium
can be obtained from a Red Cross
report which shows that up to last
fall it had distributed 1,629, 900 ar
ticIes of clothing and 100000 pairs
of shoes. In addition it gave II .
200, 600 yards of cloth.
And the Red Cross heads admit that
it has been impossible to supply any
where near the complete needs of
these stricken people in the matter of
clothing and shoes. Funds and facili
ties are inadequate for the purchasing
and making of new clothing. In the
donation of old clothing that can be
salvaged they see the only wa. ia
which the serious problem of these
unfortunate Allies can be solved.
