RED CROSS
'Their appears to be a general
3ack of interest in Red Cross work
in St. Johns. While I know that
it has been a busy season thus
far in taking care of the fruit
and vegetables, yet it seems to
me that the need of making arti
cles for use in the hospitals and
an the field has been forgotten.
There has been a call to the Red
Cross from Major Grayson M. P.
,Murphy, who is the Red Cross
commissioner for Europe, for
1,500,000 knitted sets comprising
sweater, muffler, wristlets and
socks. The St. Johns Branch has
been called upon by the director
,of the Pacific Division to do some
of this knitting, directions for
which we will soon have.
This is a rush order and our
men are going to need these
things before very long. An ord
er for materials, directions and
patterns has been placed with the
Winslow Chapter and I hope that
St. Johns will wake up and en
deavor to do its part, though
mall perhaps, toward helping in
the great crisis in this way.
This Branch has at present
samples of surgical dressings and
material for making them. Those
who WILL help with this work
may get information and materi
al by reporting to Mr. A. S. Gib
bons who is the chairman. . He
' -alsprhas .literature-if -you-desire
to read it. I hope that all officers
r - -
too, may be sufficiently inter
ested.
It is necessary for me to resign
as secretary but I would like to of the Post Office and received
get this work tefoi e the good peo some pay althoth extomdy
i .e oi. t x. tpu small. We are reliably informed
pie of St. Johns. There is anthat Government pays, at
importance attached to it; it is a thl-s 0fCQt 0nly $10.00 per month
national organization with the ' for a Clerk, a ridicuously small
sole purpose of alleviating suffer-
ing and should be recognized es
pecially where it is organized.
Do you want it to die out here in
