Burg Club Honors
Miss Vashti Bartlett

The Gaithersburg Woman's Club
claims the distinction of having as
an outstanding member, Miss
Vashti Bartlett, the first woman to
be decorated by the Chinese gov
eminent in Harbien, Manchuria.
She has served as president of the
club and chairman of nursing for
the State Federation, according to
the Maryland Clubwoman."
Miss Bartlett was, educated in
Europe and because of her great
interest in the Red Cross, became
a nurse. She graduated from Johns
Hopkins, University School of
Nursing in 1906, served as district
nurse in rural North Carolina,
worked several years in Labrador
with Sir Wilfred Grenfell, the
English missionary doctor, who
gave much of his life to minister
ing to the physical and spiritual
needs of the Labradorians, who
had no doctor in the entire coun-
try until DIR. Grenfell arrived.
Following these experiences,
Miss Bartlett became a part of a
Red Cross Unit and went into ST.
IBERIA with a group of nurses to
fight an outbreak of cholera. 1t
was for her splendid achievement
here that she received her decora-
ton from the Chinese government.
She tells an interesting story of
being entertained by officials, how
she struggled with chopsticks and
was finally given knife and fork.
No brief sketch can tell of the
rich experiences, the wonderful
contributions to health by Miss
Bartlett. She was sent abroad in
charge of a hospital unit at the
outbreak of World War /, and
years later she was sent to Haiti
by the Red Cross during small
pox epidemic to train Haitian
nurses in the care of this contag-
ious disease. 80
A member of an old Maryland
family she might have lived a life
of ease. Through her mothers
family she is connected with the
Warfield family and thus kin to
the Duchess of Windsor. She is
also related to the Griffith and
Riggs families also prominent in
Montgomery County. At present
Miss Bartlett is spending the win
ter at Silver Sands, Pass-a-Grille
Beach, Florida.

short of the quota for our district.

top.

contributed large amount to the
grand total, which is about $57, 1000.
The Sandy Spring Community is
mighty happy and proud to say

Mr.. So and So wanted us to call
him when we could--and some
time that day or perhaps the next
day we would go to Norbeck and
phone Mr.. So and So. Perhaps we
all do over work our phones in
this modern age.
That same day we picked up a.
copy of the Rev. Thomas Van B.
Barrett's "Silent Evangelism" and
read these lines: II could not help
making comparison between our
modern facilities of communication
and transportation, and those of
the day of Christ when he said Go
we into all the world and preach
the good news The Diciples, who
were sent out with that good news,
Travelled on foot or by donkey
their only means of communica-
ton was by word of mouth or by
the laborious writing down, copy
by copy, upon rolls Of stiff parch-
ment; the faith that was in them.
"Yet through these limited faci-
lities they founded and nourished
into lively growth the Christian
Church. | wonder if they would
not have made better use than we
do of the amazing facilities of
modern times, had these facilities
been available to them.
"St. Paul would have seen to it
that he was on a nationwide
hook-up." Peter would have used
specially delivery John Mark
would have had presses running
overtime in order to make more
copies of his book, with the words
of His Lord, to send throughout
the world he knew" Which really
gives US all much upon which to
ponder.
