| tributions In tho roll call campaign.

reported from all parts of the city
and suburbs where the workers have
been active since the beginning of
! the week

Do1omite explosion corps OF nurses
| and workers was organized by DR..
Morris Newfield, chairman of the
| home service department of the Bir-
| mingham Red Cross chapter, and
Miss Hope Bennett. secretary of the
civilian service, and rushed to the
mines.
| The rescue and relief work was
well In hand at the time, however,
| and the assistance of the Red Cross
people was not needed at that place.

the nurses and workers visited a
number of the homes of the injured
and killed and gave such service aid
