ed here yesteday.
Shortly after the appointment,
the county board accepted Roe
bucks verbal resignation and ap-
pointed Lewis j. Coleman, who
wa to succeed Roebuck when his
term on the board expired Novem-
Der 80, to fill his unexpired three
month term.

lowing the refusal of Louis Davis,

his support for he job to Harold
H. Jeter. He nominated Jeter after
Roebuck was nominal 1. Trask
sail after promising his support to
anothr, he would not vote for Roe
buck nor against him.
Gardner, who voted mo" to Roe
bucks appointment, said he had
no reason for not wanting the re-
firing commissioner to have the
job except that he thought the
public might not approve of the
boards appointing n of its own
members.
No vote was taken on Jeter's
nomination, a majority already
having been given to Roebuck.
Immediately after being nomi-
mated BY Hall, Roebuck asked to
be heard. He said he did not wish
to be elected to the post If lit
would cause any embarrassment
for the members of he board.
Il would feel differendt about
the matter if it was after Novem-
Der 3d." Roebuck said.
Hall. then replied he would feel
no embarrassment whate er. He
said he considered Roebuck cap
able of holding the positionas well
as deserving of he job and added
he felt no embarrassment about
nominating him.
Gardner, however, voted against
the nomination, saying he would
be embarrassed to vote Ives"
Roebuck then inquired of County
Attorney Marsden Bellamy as to
whethe he should resign from the
county board.
"If I were you, I'd resign" Bel
lamy said. Roebuck then rendered
a verbal resignation which was
accepted by the board.
Gardner than moved that the
board designate Coleman to fill
Roebuck's unexpired three-montli
term. The board voted in favor

With the <all to the colors of more
than a million of the nations young
men, American women everywhere
ask how they can volunteer their
services to aid in the emergency.
What part can women and girls play
in national defense?
The American Red Cross, through
its 3,700 Chapters and their branch
es, provides the answer. More than
a half million women already have
enrolled to give their time in Red
Cross volunteer services, according
to Mrs. Dwight F. Davis of WASH
ington, D. c., Chairman of Red
Cross Volunteer Special Services.
Through sewing and knitting a mil
lion garments for Europe's war vic
time, and making millions of surgi-
cal dressings for war wounded and
sick, they have gained efficiency and
experience which can be readily di-
verted to the work for home de-
lenses should the need arise, Mrs.
Davis said.
In order , prepare most efficient

come, the Red Cross is extending its
