Our Waldo County Chapter, A. R. c.,
is feeling much gratified that it's fourth
annual roll call finds our people as much
interested in this world wide ministration
of helpfulneSS as last year. There has
been a falling off of only thirteen in
membership, and we are hoping that this
may soon be made up; for though the
official close of the roll call was Thanks
giving Day, memberships have ever since
been coming in from those overlooked at
the time, OF for some reason prevented
from Joining earlier. 1t is impossible for
the canvassers to find at home every one
IN their respective sections; so if you have
not Joined please make the effort to do So

Nickerson during her office hours from 2
to p. m. daily, will be glad to enroll
you. The exact numbers are as follows;
Memberships for 1920 1872; result of the
fourth roll call 764 annual members, S
contributing members. Half of the dues
go to national headquarters for the splen-
did relief work abroad, the other half is
retained at home Be fast's share is to be
used for public health work. Many who

are needed. The amount received fol

the share of the Red Cross membership
dues about $600-only about one-third oil
what is actually necessary. Of this ST;

Grams and SIS by the Citypoint SEWING
Circle. Are there not other organization
which will follow this good example;
The local A. R. c. is glad to announce
that the twenty five layettes assigned
as its quota late last summer, have
been completed and will be shipped a
once. They are very attractive and d.
credit to the public spirited women wht
found time in the midst of their regular
duties to work on them. For this WORK
it is necessary to contribute materials a.
well as the making, and these funds hac
to be solicited. 1t is great and variet
