ing What it Should in This Re-
spect Outside BrattlebOr0 Branch.

Miss Marion r. Rowe, field representa-
tive of the American Red Cross, was in
BrattlebOro yesterday and spoke to mem
bers of the executive board of the local
branch of Windham county chapter, set
ting forth some of the dire needs to be
met by the Red Cross in foreign countries,
where children in the Polish and other
udistricts will die by thousands during the
winter for lack of food and clothing.
While Windham county did remark
ably well during the World war, Miss
Rowe declared that it has not done what
it should in home relief work, outside the
Rrattleboro branch, in the past year. A
system is in process of organization
whereby women will be asked TO pledge a
certain amount Of time to Red Cross
work in one or more of several branches
and this system will be announced within
a short time.
The speaker outlined the necessity OF
q successful roll call. which will start

there was to be concerted action bv the
Red Cross, the knights of Columbus and
other organizations to take action foI
America to furnish food and clothing fol
children in foreign countries, the Red
Cross supplies in warehouses in those
countries having been exhausted.
1t is true, said Miss Rowe, that sup
plies for this country are in warehouses
here and there is constant need to keeI
the supply at a point of high efficiency il
the Red Cross is to continue to be able
to meet the demands of domestic disas
ters. During the past year the Red Cross
has answered calls for 80 major
disasters in this country. including
the Wall street explosion It i,

the field representative declared that ii
some places in the state workers wer,
still enthusiastic over the Red Cross worl
and that the junior work in particular
was being we'll carried on in some sec
