 The chairmen of the various &C., tive committees of the chapter pre-. scented some very interesting facts relative to the great and helpful service that is being carried on by the local Red Cross Chapter. This service, as revealed in the reports. shows in Q very definite way how the Red Cross, through the local Chapter contributes to the citi- izens of Waterbury. It reaches those who are in need of food, clothing, and shelter.
 A review of this service must certainly convince those who have joined the Red Cross, through it's annual roll call, that their inefn- bership has assisted in this great work. z
