RED CROSS WORK
IN WILLIAMSBURG
COUNTY SCHOOLS ORGANIZING
FOR SERVICE IN THIS
GREAT SOCIETY.

Greeting to all the people of Viii
hamsburg County and especially to
the members of the Red Cross.
Now at the close of the old and the
beginning of the new year seems a fit
ting time to set before the public a
brief outline of some Of the Red Cross
activities.
The wonderful work of the Red
Cross members in this county during
the war and Immediately afterward is
90 we'll known that nothing need be
said about that. We are interested
now in the more recent work. Since
this work is merely the beginning Of
q foundation for what is to be done in
the future, it may seem very small.
The schools have been decided upon
as the best place to put the greatest
time. The following have already
Joined the Junior Red Cross:
Moss Grove School, Boyd's School,
Kingstree School, Central School,
Union High. School. Nesmith School,
Old Jacksonville School, Midway
School, Indiantown School, Hebron
School
The purpose of the Junior Red
Cross is to instill into the pupil prin-
ciples of unselfishness and to teach
citizenship through service. The
motto is, 81 Serve" Beside the work
of the teachers in the Individual
schools with the Junior Red Cross we
hope to be able to give = series of
health talks, put on physical ex-
animation of the school children, and
help in making the school a place
where the older people as we'll as the
children get instruction and entertain
ment.
The relief work of the Red Cross is
also more important now than ever.
The Home Service Secretary is par
ticuiiarly on the look out for children
who are deformed or afflicted in any
way or who have no one to take care
of them. There are some such IN the
county.
Of course the ex-serviee man or the
man in service knows or should know
that the Red Cross stands ready to be
of any service possible to them. Some
of the difficulties of few ex-service
men have already been handled. They
are urged to feel Tree to call on the
Home Servic Secretary ct sny time
In matters concerning compensation,
insurance, etc.
The Executive Committee is now
complete and it is splendid on. We
lave recently had two new members
of whom we are very proud and whom
were expecting great things. These
are Miss Agnes Erckmann, chairman
of the Junior Red Cross, and Mrs. W.
G. Gamble, chairman Of the nursing
committee. The other members are:
Mr.. S. J. Deery, chairman Williams
burg County Red Cross, Mrs. 7. E.
Arrowsmith, vice-chairman, Mrs. A.
C. Kinds, secretary, Mr.. c. w. Bos-
wei, treasurer, Mr.. W. w. Boddie,
publicity and membership chairman,
Mr.. M. A. Schuler, chairman finance
committee, Mr.. Tom McCutchen,
chairman Home Service Committee.
The Home Service Secretary wishes to
thank these last named members for
their splendid cooperation and kind
assistance.
A man has been appointed in each
school district to act as District Home
Service Secreatry. Their special duty
is to report any case neeiing the at
tention of the Red Cross. Some Of
them have already been found to be
very helpful.
May we not have the cooperation
of all the people in making this work
successful and really worth while?
Without you we cannot accomplish
all we wish.
Yours respectfully,
DAISY B. WARN,
Home Service Secretary, Williams
burg County Red Cross.
