THIRD ROLL CALL
November 3rd To November 18th In
Interest Red Cross Society

Two + leu representatives VI Vic
American Red Cross have been in
Kingstree within the past week and
have met with interested workers of
the local chapter at the residence of
the secretary, Mrs. A. c. Kinds.
Field representative Powell, station
ed at the hospital in Charleston, came
with the expressed purpose of organ
izing the chapter for the third Christ
mas roll call, which will be held this
year during the first two weeks Of
November, beginning November 3rd.
Mr.. Powell. stressed the fact that the
work of the Red Cross will not abate
one iota on account of the cessation
of war, but will concentrate from
now on upon the work of public
health, and the charitable and educa-
tional work which such a cause en-
tails.
The following efficient corps Of
workers was appointed to carry out
the roll call and to organize the whole
county for this great undertaking OF
enrolling every man, woman and
child in the annals of the Red Cross,
thus signifying theunity of purpose
in the minds of the whole population
of Williamsburg to work for the up
lift of the county: Chairman Of the
roll call, l. A. Calhoun; woman's di-
vision, chairman, Mrs. w. w. Holli-
day; mems division, chairman, j. d.
Britton; war veterans, chairman, B.
T. Frierson; roll call cashier, C. W..
Boswell; publicity and supplies
chairman, Miss Lizzie Heape.
Thursday, November 9Th, educa-
tional day at the county fair, will al
so be Red Cross day and Mr.. Powell
will be at the fair grounds and will
make an address. There will be a
Red Cross booth. at the fair, where
membership fees will be payable and
where educational literature will be
distributed. Surely every one who at
tends the fair will welcome this op-
portunity of enrolling once more in
the greatest humanitarian agency
that the world has ever known.
After the roll call has been COM
pleted November 18th, there will be
a full meeting of the chapter held for
the purpose of fully reorganizing
the ranks and filling the vacancies
in the list of officers caused by res
ignations. Each branch and auxiliary
throughout the county will also be
fully reorganized to take up the tre-
mendous peace program which has
been mapped out by headquarters.
1t was to discuss this program the
field representative, Mrs. Solomons
came to Kingstree. Her ideas and en-
thusiasm were contagious and the
work of the local chapter is sure to
benefit from her visit. At her sug-
gestion it was to have a Red Cross
rest room will be arranged at the
fair grounds during the fair for the
convenience of ladies and little chill
dren. 1t is more than likely that this
rest room will perpetuate itself in a
similar convenience in the business
part of town and will be kept open
for the convenience of visitors in our
city. 1t is hoped that the treasury OF
the chapter will allow the engaging
of a paid worker who will be at this
Red Cross room always and whose
time and services will be at the COM
mand of all who need the kind OF
help which the Red Cross can give.
At present the treasury is somewhat
depleted because the last quota of
the war fund has been requisitioned
d headquarters for the purpose OF
lboking after the forty thousand SOL
