RED CROSS PLANS T0 CONTINUE WORK Will Make Special Ellort This Winter to Aid War Sufierers At a meeting of the Red Cross and of the Women's War Relief commit- tee held at the New Britain Institute yesterday afternoon important action was taken that gives promise of carly resumption of relief work. In order that leadership might not be burdensome for any one of the adies, the following were appointed jas an_ executive committee on relief work; Mrs. J. H. Kirkham, Mrs. B. B. Bassette, Mrs. E. H. Cooper, Mrs. H. L. Mills, Miss Rose Churchill. Tty expected that a large number of workers will respond to the opportun- ity of again serving the needs of jwounded European soldiers. Since funds for the purchase of ma- erials are urgently needed, there is 0 be'an aggressive effort toward se- uring additional Red Cross memiber- hips and special contributions for u pt e relief committee. umphrey was elected chairman of he membership committee. ‘Memberships or special contrihu- fons may be paid to Treasurer A. J. Sloper or, by those finding it more Convenient, to any of the above named women. Thé above action was taken after careful inquiry from the national eadquarters at Washington with ref- erence to the needs and policy of the Red Cros Any reader who might have had his isgivings will be reassured by the tatements in the printed circular re- ently issued, and those contained in leder from Ernest P. Bicknell, di- ector general of civilian relief. The ircular follows: Jro Chapter Officers and Members: Some of the chapters have written an o headquarters to inquire what work ! hey can advantageously take up this vinter. The announcement that the Red Cross was withdrawing its doctors | nd. nurses from the war zone seems | 0 have been construed in some quar- ers to mean that it was giving up all ts war relief activities. This, how- r, is not the case; on the contrary, Ve hope to center our chief efforts on he making, collecting and forwarding bf ‘more hospital supplies and -other elpful things this winter than last he war goes right on and as the su !eg which the warring countries plves had collected before the i)r began, become exhausted, the éed for our help increases. !o it is fair to say that we should Mrs. Flora | The Only Exclusive Talking Machine Store in New Britain We therefor offer you every courtesy and our undivided attention in helping you select either a Columbia Grafonola or Columbia records. do the same kind of work this year as last and more of it. I believe the new circulars containing suggestions and instructions in regard to this work have been sent to all the Chap- ters. If more are wanted let us know them along. We hope that more groups for making garments, band- ages, etc., will be formed than before. And never hesitate to write headquar- ters for information on any point whatever. We'll answer as well as we can and as promptly as possible. Some of the groups may perhaps prefer to make garments for children or women. This they are entirely at liberty to do. Such garments should be simple and plain and of warm ma- terial. Underclothing is of course al- ways acceptable. The Red Cross knows of plenty of places where these gar- ments are needed and will be received with gratitude. All clothing should be new. The European countries dis- like to admit second-hand or worn clothing for health reasons. Every one who gives or makes a garment for this relief work has the privilege of designating the country to which it is to go. We prefer that gifts be not thus designated as we can respond more freely and promptly to serious needs which come to our at- tention ,if we have a large stock of supplies upon which we can draw without restrictions. Nevertheless, | the privilege of designating the destin- ation of gifts is granted and expressed wishes will be carried out if practica- | ble. The statement contained in letters from Ernest P. Bicknell, director of civilian relief to the New Britain chapter, is as follows: “The method which the Red Cross employs in distributing its relief sup- plies in Europe is thoroughly impar- tial in every particular. All articles donated are sent to the countries in- dicated by the donors, if the latter have preferences. All articles donated without any designation as to the country are sent to this country or that wherever the greatest needs are reported to exist. For example, the Red Cross receivs constant communi- cations from the Red Cross societies of | all the countries at war in which are set out the particular needs of the time in those countries. We also re- ceive many communications from Am- ( erican citizens in the various Euro- | pean countries, and from committees, { hospitals, etc. Based upon all this information we endeavor, so far practicable, to send the kind of goods needed and the amounts required. No attempt is made to distribute the ar- ticles on any pro-rata basis among the countries at war, because this would seem to use to be in some measure a handicap upon our ability to meet particular needs wherever they arise without delay. As things have actu- ally worked cut, about three quarters of our shipments have gone to the countries of the allies and about one quarter to the central powers. More has gone to France and Serbia than to any other countries.” how many are needed and we'll send | Cii zz‘o Items | That boy will appreciate a pair of storm shoes. Damon's Shoe Shop.— advt.
