Help Red Cross Xmas Drive!
Are you watching the Christmas
stocking on the First National bank?
Every morning I gaze eagerly up
ward to see if another little flag has
been unfurled. Yesterday at noon the
25,000 mark had been reached and 1'
wanted to throw up my hat, but, as
it's a new twin six model, I refrained.
To my mind, the most wonderful
thing about the campaign has been
the energy and stick-to-it-iveness of
the women who have worked so hard
to fill up that Red Cross stocking. Of
course, they have been laboring from
early until late ever since the war be
gan, but still it has not been the
moruing-to-midnight, kind of work
that they have done this week?
If you have dropped in at head
quarters you have seen Mrs. Porter
Askew, Mrs. J. V. Gill and Mrs.
Anson Bigelow answering a thousand
queries a minute, Mrs. William A.
Pixley ani Mrs. Harry Doorly direct
ing tlie packing of Red Cross supplies
in the large envelopes and Mrs. b.
M Syfert "bossing" the whole work.
If you continue your search you
will find the zealous Red Crossers
in every store, hotel, office building
and small shop. Miss. Elizabeth Davis,
i -r .1-- ...1 !-
cnairman- oi u.e coinntmee which
visited the hairdressing, millinery and
dressmaking shops, is ably assisted by
a number of society maids and ma
trons. Mrs. T. L. Davis, Mrs. Walter
Roberts, Mrs. Louis Clarke, Mrs.
Ross Towle, Miss Emily Keller, Miss
Elizabeth Bruce and Miss Helene
Bixby are of the group.
Through the elforts of Miss Daphne
Peters the florists shops are being so
licited for members for the great
cause. Mrs. Joh.i Webster, Mrs. John
L. McLaguc, Mrs. Ralph Meters, Miss
Grace Allison, Miss Gertrude Stout,
Miss Josephine Congdon, Mrs. Clyde
Roeder, Mrs. Paul Gallagher and Mrs.
Lawrence Brinker have worked un
tiringly on Miss Teters' committee.
If you haven't joined, this is the
time! As you have noticed, your old
button won't go, so find a dollar or
two and join this great fraternity
whose insignia is a holly-bedecked
button and whose watchword is
"service."
