PLAN RED CROSS BRANCH.
Persons Interested Decide to Have CUES
tiOn Voted ON Thursday.


Persons interested in forming a branch
of the American Red Cross in the town
of Newfane met at the home of Mrs. r.
II. Richardson in Williamsville Saturday
afternoon. The matter was thoroughly
discussed with the executive secretary OF
the Windham county chapter ana was
favorably acted upon. n petition for au-
thority to form a branch was signed by
Mrs. George Williams, Mrs. \. y. Sher-
man, Mrs. George NJ. Love, Mrs. Mary
b. Maher, Mrs Edith Farnum, Mrs. h.
H. Richardson, and William h. Newton.
Mrs. Sherman was appointed chairman
and Mrs Love secretary of temporary
committee or organization to prepare for
a meeting to Law the matter before the
townspeople for discussion and vote; also
to elect permanent officers If such an or
ganization is deemed advisable. The
meeting will be held in Newfane at 5
o'clock Thursday afternoon in the yes
try of the Congregational church, and
every member and applicant for member
ship in the Red Gross will be entitled TO
vote.
The object of such an organization in
Newfane is to make for the close co
operation of the Newfane Child Welfare
committee and the county Red Gross both
of which are putting on health programs
for the coming year.
Another important object in forming
the branch is to retain in Newfane their
share of the money raised in the coming
roll call, instead of turning it over as has
been done heretofore to the BrattlebOro
/ branch, of which Newfane is an auxiliary.
The roll call this year will be conducted
| from Nov. II to Is. Fifty cents OF
every dollar $3.50 of every 50, and $3.50
of every SO membership stays at home.
