Chapter Establishes First Aid
Station
The Chapter early in the spring.
under the instruction of Doctor c.
A. Clark, conducted first aid
class In late September the ma
tional headquarters at st. Louis re-
quested us to establish an Emer-
gency First Aid Station on High
way 81. The station was estab-
lished at the Ross Garage in Rex
ford with signs erected on the high
way. This station has offered first
aid to one accident victim already
with Mrs George w. Ross admin

An Appeal to the Men Of this
| Community
The women of the district have
all been sewing, knitting and work
ing on Red Cross war relief sewing
These women were not doing thi:
work because they had a lot Of idle
time on their hands. No, these
women are all mothers, fathers
wives, or breadwinners for the fam
lily. They have raised big gardens
canned quarts and quarts of foot
for winter, did the family sewing
washing, maintained a home ant
reared the children; yet these sam.
busy women have and are produc
ing over 1000 garments for thos,
less fortunate than themselves ant
feel that the little they can do i
little enough when there is SO mucl
want and suffering in this war rid
den world, and they are glad t
help.
So far in this years work it seem
| the women have been doing all tn
work, but it isn't quite so becaus
our work depends entirely on TIL
men. 1t takes money to do the &C
tivities we have before us and thi
money is raised through the An
nual Red Cross Roll Call. The loca
Chapter is asking that the men he'll
this Roll Call be the biggest yet at
tanned We have so much to do. w
have assisted in securing glasse
for over a half dozen school chill
dren, but there are many more VIII
are in just as dire need and W
would like to take care of thei
cases just as soon as possible. Sine
the War Defense Work and tn
draft we have certain work and oh
legations to meet in connection wit
) these movements which are de
manded of us. Therefore, we ar
asking that every man please joi
the Red Cross, along with his viii
! and adult members of his famil,
We want to see 100 per cent poster
iii every window in Eureka, Req
ford, Fortine, Trego, Stryker, Gate
way, and Roosville and the rur;
communities. We must make
possible for the men and wome
