 Mrs Edward J. Godfrey, newly appointed chairman of Braille, re- ported certified Braillists are now doing volunteer work in Wa terbury and Woodbury. Mrs Charles Piercey received her certificate from national headquarters this month. MT Burrall read the resignation of Mrs Nelson A. Pomeroy as 8 member of the executive commit tee. Mrs Pomeroy's resignation was accepted with deep regrets. Mrs Godfrey was appointed chairman of Braille to fill the vacancy caused
 by Mrs Pomeroy's resignation. Plans for the coming roll call in November were discussed and conn., mittee appointed to nominate 8 chairman, so that plans could be made for the complete canvass o1 the city of Waterbury. The needs for the coming winter will be great and the Red Cross must assume
 large obligations in the commun- ity. The nominating committee ap- pointed consist of: Rev Joseph Val dambrini, chairman; Mrs Edward J. Godfrey, Miss Harriet D. Greg ory, Mrs Julius B. Smith and Mrs Edith E. Ladd.
 In addition to the reports herein contained, a very interesting report came in from Slocum school on Junior Red Cross work being car ried on under the direction of Miss Anna F. Pagan, principal of Slo- cum school, who is also chairman of Junior Red Cross for the local chapter. During January, Febru- ary, March and April, 1888, the juniors completed: Four portfolios to be sent to juniors in foreign countries; played one basketball game to raise money for a shade needed in one of the school rooms; made 30 Sweet Tooth Dollies' for the children's ward in St Mary's hospital; completed dresses from Red Cross material for the Mutua Aid families; finished knitting one sweater; gave a minstrel perform. ance to raise money, $30, to be use6 for school purposes; commenced
 work on portfolio entitled Water
 bury Manufactures" requested fol exhibition purposes by the nation. al director of Junior Red Cross commenced work on 30 cretonne Christmas bags which are to be sent next August to our sailors and soldiers in foreign stations in hospitals.
 This report of junior work is most inspiring and we hope will be an incentive for al the Water bury schols in due time to enroll in this work of service for others
 As we have many more garments to be made, volunteers are urgently needed to do sewing in their own homes during the>summer months Garments are cut and assembled and can be had by calling chapter headquarters, 5-1221, or by con. tacting Mrs Frank l.. Bugden al the Brown building, Room 317 or Thursday and Fridays of eacf week between 10:30 a. m. and D. m.
