IMPORTANT MEETING
OF LOCAL RED RCOSS
FRIDAY AFTERNOON

The Abebville Chapter of the Am
erican National Red Cross will meet
at five o'clock Friday afternoon,
May goth in the Red Gross office.
There will be discussion Of the
action taken at the last meeting,
when $1,000 of Red Cross FUNDS were
donated to the Abbeville County
Memorial Hospital, with a view to
resembling the action as it is said that
the local chapter had no authority
to donate funds for other than ac-
tivities of the Red Cross as outlined
by national headquarters of the Red
Cross.
Every member of the Red Cross
and this means any VINO paid as
much as $1.O0 as dues for 1920-is
urged to attend this meeting.
To the average layman rne Ameri-
can Red Cross formerly appeared to
be wholly concerned with emergen-
cies. He was more familiar with it's
benefcent work in great catastro-
Plies than with any other OF its &C
tivities. Now, however, when he
thinks of the Red Cross, There is
brought to his mind not only these
dramatic interventions, but also the
steady striving for child welfare and
intensive anti-tuberculosis campaigns
The American Red Gross mas put
in the forefront of its peace-time
program activities in the field Of pub
lie health. Definite proposals in exc
cution of this 'laudable policy are
contained in a twenty-page pamphlet
entitled Health Centers: A Field for
Red Cross Activity"
In turning gradually from its war
activities to peace and to thoughts of
the work to be done at home, the
,-merican Red Cross has consecrated
itself anew to it's ancient anG endless
task of preventing ard relieving
distress and suffering.
