Arizona republican., 1921-10-28

Reports for the year given Wednes- day afternoon at the annual meeting of the Central Arizona chapter of the American Red Cross show that a new building to house the organization has been built at BPS East Jefferson street; that approximately SIP coo has been spent by the organization in relief work; that the Salvage Shop has netted total of $2700 and that much good has been accomplished by the service department of the or ganizatIon.
 The yearly report of Mrs. K. K. James, secretary of the association, follows:
 There has been few changes in the chapter during the year. The branch at Kelvin has been discontin- ued and several other are active or are devoting themselves to home re- lief work under the supervision of division headquarters. A few branch es, notably Mesa and Tempe, have carried on peace program work, es- pecially in public health work. Also junior Red Cross work is being done in many of the schools. At chapter headquarters a gradual decrease in the work of the service section was anticipated, but largely owing to the climatic conditions the chapter is still overburdened with demands of ex-seI vice men and their familities for assistance and the work shows no signs Of lessening. Realizing that our funds were insufficient to long carry on the work of the service sec ton the salvage shop has been re- organized in order to help finance this work.
 i, ,-rI, -s4 A. c. Bartlett, building to house the industry was erected at BPS East Jefferson street and the shop was opened December 15, 1920. During the first six months the business netted a monthly average of nearly $400 So great seemed the demand for the shop that it was decided to keep it open during the summer months and it was operated for the three months of June, July and Au- gust at a small profit, except in Au- gust, when there was a deficit of about SC. This was due to lack of stock rather than lack of GUS toners. Experience has proven that the shop is a real and lasting ben eft to the community. Articles are sold at price which enable the self respecting poor to provide them selves with necessities and avoid the appeal to charity which many would otherwise be compelled to make. AL though started primarily to provide funds tor the work of the service section, the chapter has devoted a portion of the profits of the shop to the charitable needs of the com munity, thus recognizing the desire of many of those assisting the shop through personal efforts and dona- tions to distribute a part of the pro ceeds to charitable organizations"
