For Millions of Children
And Babes
HEADQUARTERS TO BE
IN OLD CITY HALL

At the monthly meeting OF the
executive COMMITTEES OF the Delaware
Chapter OF the American Red Cross
yesterday, at Red Cross headquar-
ters. 911 Delaware avenue. over
which Henry p. Scott chairman Of
the board presided. the most impor-
tant topic which came before the
board was a great emergency cry
from overseas The Red Cross has
always been. and will always be
looked upon as the greatest emer-
gency organization in the world.
was the sentiment expressed. There
fore when an emergency call is re-
ceived, it necessarily takes prece.
dent Of and supersedes the routine
work Of the organization.
The great appeal to the people Of
America today is to provide cloth
ing for millions of children and ba-
bies abroad, it was asserted. 1nfor-
nation from the Red Cross In Eu-
rope shows that there is an instant
need Of 25O,000 layettes and 1000
600 garments for children up to the
age Of IA and that an infinitely larg-
er number Of garments could be used
before these suffering children would
be even decently clothed
Mrs. Willard Hall Porter, chair
man Of the woman's bureau and Of
the Bureau Of Production. is in
charge of this work. Mrs. Porter is
taking steps to reorganize the work
rooms and to call upon the branches
and anxiliaries OF the Delaware
Chapter to answer the cali Of this
stirring appeal.
The Old Town Han. which as an
will remember, was the headauar- /
ters for much Of the relief work |
during the war, has been generously 4
contributed and placed at the dis 4
posal of the Delaware Chapter by the 4
Historical Society, rent free. During
the war the entire building was used
for war relief purposes but at this
time the ground floor win be used
as headquarters for this work and
IS a receiving and distributing sta
ton and will fully meet the needs
Of the situation.
Dr. Livingston Ferrand. president {,
of the National Red Cross, who is i'm
Europe at the present time. has writ
ten to the Red Cross authorities in
America saying that the condition
Of destitute children beggars de-
scription and that II every woman h
In America would make a garment 4
there still would be need for more. /
As soon as Mrs. Porter Is able to K
outline the work and to announce
her plans more definitely, word win
be received by the branches and /
auxiliaries by letter and telephone
concerning the work which is ex-
pected Of them.
Everybody is asked to participate
IN this work which must be pushed
with all possible speed so that the
clothing may arrive overseas in
time to prevent the disaster and suf-
fering which is bound to be more
severe with the oncoming Of win
ter.
