DeIco Credit
Union

Since bringing it to the attention
of the CLIO members through this
publication the fact that Delco
Products Employees Credit Union
is growing steadily and increasing
in assets, numerous inquiries have
been made by CLIO members con-
corning the facilities of the Credit
Union. In numerous cases loans
have been made so that members
could lump their numerous small
debts, pay them off and have only
the Delco Products Employees
Credit Union to pay. The interest
rate is so very convenient that it
positively is a good business move
to do this.
The Board of Directors and
Officers of the Credit Union wish
to thank CLIO members for their
cooperation and assure them of
their best efforts in their behalf.
As we have been advised by sew
eral men that they had not heard
of the Credit Union, for every ones
information, the offices are located
at 724 Harries Building and the
telephone number is Adams 57O6.

son, the equality Of oppor-
tunity for all peoples, the
conversion of peoples, the
conversion of peoples from
potential liabilities into act

tion on the part of all peo-
pies that such an assertion
would be one means of
spreading democracy to all
the world and the ultimate
participation In their own
governments by the peoples
Of Asia, Africa, the Ameri-
cas-, and the Islands Of the
sea. Reviewing the turn
ing points in the present
War from it's beginnings in
1889, DR.. Wesley asserted
that "the final turning point
in this War will be when
the united nations face the
issue of race. There was
a wide gulf between the
war aims Of our leaders and
the desires of the people in
1913 when President Wood
row Wilson enunciated the
! famous Fourteen Points.
No fault was found with
them, and they regarded as
our detectives but when the
war terminated and Armis
tice Day came, the Ameri-
can People seemed to for
get the idealism of their
leader. Are we sure that
our present program will
be a different one? If our
aims to create a league

Red Cross Unit of OAR
Displays Its Handi1uork
By Frances Lide.

Most women feel that bare
statistics are seldom more made
quate than when used to describe
the sewing and knitting that is
being done these days for the
American Red Cross.
For instance to say that Dis
trict Daughters of the American
Revolution working in the OAR
Chapter House Red Cross Unit
made 401 garments from August
18 to October 3 by no means tells
the story Of either the amount Of
work or the human interest in
volved.
But when the garments were
on display in the Chapter House
Sunday, visitors had chance to
visualize just what they will mean
IN the way of future comfort to
the men, women and children
reached in the Red Gross pro-
gram.
For instance, there were %
Iceland sweaters" made OF heavy
wool yarn which were started
back in the summer on a very
hot day.
And there was a batch OF nit
tens for air raid rescue squade
which are crocheted out OF a
heat-resisting twine.
Other articles made for the
Army included eleven 72-inch
scarves, number of turtle-neck
sweaters and a number of socks.
1t was easy to think of a happy
youngster when you admired the
"toddler packs" each consisting
OF a sweater, beanie and nit
tens. Children's rompers and
{ baby sleepers also had a definite
appeal.
The unit displayed 81 women's
and children's dresses made of
wool and number of nightgowns
OF outing flannel. Both the gowns
and "a bed jackets were attrac-
lively decorated with touches of
hand embroidery.
Seventeen heavy convalescent
robes and 20 operating gowns for
doctors in hospitals told still an

Another excellent job of Red

who meet at the clubhouse on
Rhode Island avenue for all-day
sewing on Mondays and Thurs
days.
When the exception Of the

Here, too, cold statistics fail
to tell the full story. One of the

been making suits OF knitted
wear for boys. And each suit
consists of trousers, a sweater,
mittens and a cap.
The league women also COM
