JUNIOR RED CROSS
Report of Addison County Work Shows
Much Interest

Last year 100000 children were
Junior members of the American Red
Cross. They made during the war
about 100000 articles which are esti-
mated at a cash value of Sl00OO,0OO be-
sides raising S3,000,000 in cash. These
figures are taken from the new book,
"The American Red Cross in the Great
War" by Henry P Dawson, the Ma
tional Chairman.
This splendid movement by the
children should not be allowed to stop.
ANY great movement in the interest OF
humanity must be built on the child
population if it is to be successful.
The Red Cross of the future will de
pend on the training of the children
of today,
TheJunior Membership Department
in Washington meets every two weeks
with the National Department of Edu-
cation and all the work OF the Junior
Red Cross is approved by Mr. P. P.
Claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education He says a heartily
commend the purposes and plans of the
Junior Red Cross to responsible
school officials and teachers throughout
the United States, as feel sure this
work will accomplish much for the
relief of the suffering throughout the
world and also for the education OF the
children in the schools Of our own
country"
The holiday number of "The Junior
Red Cross News" is filled with inter
esting stories and letters from the chill
dren of the war-swept lands OF Europe,
who are sending their thanks to the
Juniors of America and showing their
appreciation of the food warm clothes
and happiness given them. The work
of the Juniors now is to bring back
the smiles to little faces which are filled
with lines of pain and sorrow, and
hasten the day when children will be
happy the world over.
& This wear 30 schools in Addison
County have responded most heartily
and over 700 children are enrolled i'll
the Junior AuXiliaries of the American
Red Cross. These schools have con-
tributed Sl7920 which will be devoted
to real service for suffering children
in foreign lands or at home, as 40 per
cent of this amount may be used for
relief work within this country. Not
a penny of this money is used to defray
expenses of Red Cross work.
-Four towns, Cornwall Salisbury,
Weybridge and Waltham have a full
100 per cent membership of the pupils.
The number of schools contributing in
other towns is as follows: Addison, 4
Bridport, /; Ferrisburg, >; Goshen, |;
Middlebury, 10; Monkton, 2; Panton,
2; Shoreham, 3; and Whiting, ,.
Many of these schools earned their
money in various ways, thus exempli-
flying the Red Cross spirit of service.
Next year it is hoped many more
schools of the county will desire a
share in this work. Upon school Off
Gals and teachers depends much of the
success of enlisting the children of
America for Red Cross service.
