SUPERVISORS NEEDED
FOR ACTIVITIES IN
RED CROSS PROGRAM
Contributed

Mrs. William Fripp announces
that the surgical dressing room
in the Post Office Building will
be open Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, both afternoon and
evening, hereafter, and she is
sending out an urgent SOS for
supervisors. Just in the last
week she has lost four of her
most competent supervisors and
it is imperative that they be re-
placed by willing women in this
community.
The sponges that are being
made now are for the Army and
the quota must be met. The
September quota is incomplete
due to the lack of material, but
more is expected momentarily;
besides, October and November
quotas must be completed on
time. There are still 5000
Sponges to be made for Septem-
Der, and $4,000 for October, and
the local chapter must do its
share, Mrs. Fripp declared.
One woman working full
eight-hour day can not make
enough surgical dressing to sup
ply one badly wounded soldier,
Mrs. Fripp said, and added, Here
is a job for you. Add your time
and energy to that of the thou
sands of women working in Red
Cross Chapters producing the
surgical dressings which the
Army and Navy must have now!"
Call Mrs. Fripp at 808 and Of
fer your services. In a few
hours she can instruct you how
to be a supervisor

that had TO be taken care of in
order that they may receive an
equal amount of pay as many
other persons who are WORKING
in a similar capacity.
Mr.. Papy appeared before the
council in an effort to satisfy
some of the officials who were
doubtful Of the legality of al
lowing the increases as proposed.
and said that he felt perfectly
satisfied that they would be
within their rights, minus any
entanglements, if they felt dis
posed to give the officials in
question the extra amount of
salary, which they are really en-
titled to inasmuch as all other
officials and employees of the city
had been granted an increase in
pay.
..n Caro's Opinion
City Attorney Thos. S. Caro-
corroborated practically every
thing that Mr.. Papy had said,
and reiterated the same opinion
he expressed relative to its leg
ality when the matter was first
brought before the council, at
which time Mr.. Caro- as city at
torney advised the board that he
felt that it was legal, and that
he felt that the councilmen were
within their rights in allowing
these officials the extra compen-
sation as a relief account
Freeman Opposed
President of the Council Will
liam A. Freeman, who is now

Mayor Willard M. Albury, adj
dressed the board and stated in
most emphatic terms that he
would not sign the warrants for
these increases under any cir
cumstances, saying that the only
way that he would favor same
was by state legislative author

Opinion In Writing
1t was finally decided to have
the city attorney present his de-
cision as to its legality in writing,
which will be perused by the
members of the council before
any definite action is taken in
the matter.
