REO CROSS COUNTY CHAPTER Has Been Brought to the Present Excellent Working Condition. From Friday's Pally. Pursuant to the notice published in these columns for the past few- days, Plattsmouth Red Cross Chap ter held a special election of offi cers at their room Wednesday even ing at 8:00 o'clock. The chairman and vice chairman elected at a previous meeting, were unable to serve. A short business session was held with the former chairman, Mrs. F. II. Dunbar in charge. Mrs. Win. Baird was unanimously elected chairman and Mrs. J. E. Wiles, vice chairman. Mrs. Baird and Mrs. Wiles have been very faithful and efficient in their work in the Red Cross and will make very capable leaders, and be of much assistance and help to the workers of the Plattsmouth Red Cross Chapter. We bespeak a continuance of the splen did work that has been done in the past few months by the Plattsmouth Red Cross Chapter under the guid ance of Mrs. Wm. Daird as chairman and Mrs. J. E. Wiles as vice chair man. In speaking of the outgoing chair man, Mrs. F. H. Dunbar and vice chairman, Mrs. C. A. Rosencrans. it is due to them that our Red Cross Chapter, and not our Chapter alone, but the Cass County Red Cross Chap ter work has been brought to such a high standard and efficiency a?, well as the work arranged in a most excellent sjstem. Words cannot ex press their ever faithfulness and un tiring efforts in ihis good work. To them, what did it matter if house hold duties and even the members of their families were neglected a day and sometimes a week, if there was work at the Red Cross rooms that would help the hoys "Over There." Sometimes it was in the Surgical Dressings department, or the warehouse, sometimes the sys tem of work needed to be rearrang ed. Then household duties must be taken tip, ther would be an S. O. S. call on knitting, household duties were laid aside for. the knitting. Then too. these faithful workers did not do their share of work between 2 and 5 one or two afternoons of the week as we workers do, but it was all the time, morning, after noon and ni;ht and many nights it was near midnight hour when they wearily wended their way home ward. It is due to them that our work room and warehouse was made so comfortable and convenient. We appreciate what" they have done and we predict success to the Red Cross work wherever they may be placed. They have not only been doing their bit. but their utmost. At the former business meeting Miss Georgia White was elected Sec retary and Treasurer. The chair man of the various departments will be appointed by the new chairman and vice chairman in the near fu ture. At the business meeting of the Cass County Red Cross Chapter held in the District Court room early in October, the following officers were elected: County Chairman Mr. E. J. Richey. County Purchasing Agent Mrs. T. E. Parmele. County Secretary and Treasurer Miss Bernese Newell. EO BRANTNER OAS PNEUMONIA WAS DANGEROUSLY SICK, AND STILL REMAINS IN VERY BAD CONDITION.

WESC0TT HAS SENT IN HIS LAST PAPERS REGARDING HIS Y. M. C. A. WORK. From Fretny'F I"sit The long tor'urous proceedure, though which one has to go, in ord er to obtain the necessary papers and history to convince the govern ment that one is fitted and the prop er person, to go to Europe for Y. M. , A. work, has at last been com pleted by C. '. Wescott and the last of the papers have gone to Washington, and it is expected that he will depart in a short time for France. In a conversation with him his morning, he said to the reporter. that lie expected to eat Thanksgiv ing dinner with the bys in Paris, and Christmas dinner with them in Berlin. Mr. Wescott is well equip ped for the position which he is entering and will make a good work er, being patriotic to the backbone, and having the welfare of the boys at heart, and having the education necessary to place him in position to do the niost effective work, be sides being interested in the work, heart and soul, in a wav which will bring him into the closest contact with the boys, whoever they may be. or what their circumstances. We can see that Mr. Wescott will be able to do more in this line of work, than in any otI:?r, for it is not all bullets, there must be something else, and that is the part he is to go to furnish. TO CLASS ONE MEN, LISTEN! OF INTEREST TO ALL CIASS ONE MEN OF THIS COUNTY. LET US TELL YCU. From Saturday's Daily. All single men are placed by the local board in class one. there is no other way of doing the matter, they all go there, by reasoiv of being single. Also, those who have only a wife as a dependent, they go there also. This is t it o natural thins, no other place to put them. Now conies another matter. When you have re ceived your card, notifying you of the placing you there by the local board which they have to do. you are not to think that you are re quired to make a trip to the count y seat immediately to see about it. The district board will in a short time pass upon your question blanks and will report on the matter as per your occupation, and if that shows you should be placed else where, you will be classified hy them in a different way. Remember the local board classified you as per de pendency, and not as your occupa tion, and again the district board will classify you as per your occu pation, which may place you in a more deferred class but cannot ad vance your position. You may have to wait for a short time to ascertain where you really are by reason of the enormous work now placed upon the shoulders of the district board. RED CROSS S0.CIAL WORKERS.
