 An enthusiastic gathering attended
 the Red Cross meeting held last even ing in the Business Mems club, the severity of the evening apparently
 hindering the attendance but little.
 The address by Miss Florence c. Bull lard was the feature of the meeting. For two years and a half, after 1916, | she served with the French forces, part of the time as director of large
 hospitals at the front. She gave a thrilling account of her work for l weeks in the coal cellars at Soissons. The fire and spirit of Miss Bullard is | something long to be remembered by all those who were priviledged to hear her. In an address preceding Miss Bullard, Miss Charlotte Owen, Red Cross field director for eastern Con- necticut, spoke briefly of the aims of the Red Cross. During the war it was the saving of life and it is the of same today through the promotion lof ters. The resignation of Miss Lillian Welsh, who has been secretary since the local branch of the Red Cross was organized, is regretted. Miss Matilda McCulloch was chosen to succeed her.
