WILL WE LET RED CROSS GO

Mrs. f. III. Wilson. of Columbus.
Ohio, field worker for the American
Red Cross, was here Friday transacting
business with the officers of the local
chapter.
The local, which was one of the best
and most active during war times, has
about ceased to function, and Mrs.
Wilson made it plain that we would
have to do something to justify our
existence as part of the Red Cross
organization or give up our charter
\ meeting will be called in the near
future for the purpose of reorganizing
the local chapter and deciding upon a
policy to carry out in the future. 1t
will likely be held some Sunday in one
of the churches, after the mornings
services are over.
The peace program of the Red Cross
is no less important than its war work.
and the local chapter should not lose
its identity. There is more to he done
than ever. For instance very few
miles from us lies little girl on a
bed of agony who will never be able
to walk again unless she has treatment
and care in some good hospital. and
that soon. She has tubercular bone
in the hip. Her parents are poor, alb
solutely unable TO give her the treat
ment required in such cases. If we
had strong and active Red Cross or
ganization, it would be an easy matter
to get the child in Red Cross hospit-
al where she would receive free of
charge the very best of attention.
This is only one of the many cases
that are around us. Every individual
| reader of this likely knows of some
such case. There are also many other
ways the Red Cross can benefit a COM
munity.
When the call for the meeting to re-
organize the local chapter is sent out,
every resident of Grantsville and com
munity should heed and be present.

Dozens of children are being sent out

informed about such things. The as
sistant state supervisor of high schools

whose parents are unable to send them
to other cities. will be compelled to get
along without a high school education
