Letters Express Appreciation of
Red Cross Work

By clipper, ship and State Depart
ment courier have come thousands OF
letters and newspaper clippings from
Great Britain expressing thanks fol
the aid sent by the American REQ
Cross.
The layettes have evoked the great.
est admiration, not only from the re.
cipients, but also from the women vol.
unteers in Britain who have been dis
tributing them.
The following letter tells where two
of these layettes were sent:
"The first layette was given to the
young widow Of a soldier, home or
leave from the front, who went out
during raid to offer his help to q
policeman on duty near by and both
were instantly killed. Her baby was
born in the Military Families hospital
about a fortnight later and is now
wearing your lovely little garments.
"The second one went two days age
to the baby daughter of marine now
in Iceland who was decorated for gal
lantry at Narvik and whose young
wife was in her mothers house during
raid, but escaped injury as the
whole family was in the afraid shell
ter at the actual time when the bomb
fell, but came out to find their house
and most Of their possessions gone"
Several other layettes are only
waiting for the arrival of the little
ones, whose mothers are suffering SO
grievously at this time. One young
woman who is expecting her first
baby was buried in the debris of a tall
house on Plymouth Hoe which was de-
molished by bomb and her husband
was hurt and in the hospital for a
long time afterwards. They lost the
whole of their little home and every
stitch of their clothing except what
they stood up in"
The Civic club of Oakland is spon-
soring this program of sewing fol-
refugees under the direction Of the
American Red Cross. Layettes to be
used in the war relief production pro-
gram are being cut out by group of
women working two afternoons a
week. Anyone wishing to help in the
sewing Of these little garments may
call Mrs. F. E. Rathbun or Mrs. E. |.
Baumgartner.
The group from Frendsville is
working under Mrs. Eugene Green
valid and Accident under Mrs. B. 0.
Aiken. The Mt. Lake group is under
the supervision of Mrs. H. L. Bittner.

Ceremonies in Room Where
Washington Resigned

Senator Radcliffe, Governor O'Con-

ably have been different in many
ways.

Historic Spot

GAS much was done by George
Washington for liberty, democracy
and freedom in government on this
historic spot as has been done at any
other place in any time in history
he said.
"Those of us who are devoted to
democratic ideals and to the rights of
people to rule and govern themselves
will feel that on this spot an event
took place which has done as much to
encourage and guarantee the right of
people to seek and to establish liberty
as has any other event possibly in
history"
The Senator said the Senate cham
Der should be priced as an inspiration
"to all those who seek democratic
ideals of government" and predicted
that in the future the historic room
will arouse an admiration, esteem and
veneration even greater than at pres
emit
