DOING ITS | | SHARE OF WAR WORK | Fsther Stanley Chapter ves Up| Social ‘Event to Do Patriotic Work; Plans for Season. i i At a recent meeting of the board at the Hsther Stanley chapter, D. A, R., it was decided to omit the Guest Night planned in the autumn and devote all | energies to war relief work. Each | member of this organization is taking | an active part in assisting in all branches of war work suggested by the National society. The sum of $300 was subscribed to the first Liberty Loan by the chapter, and also over $85 has been already invested in Liberty Bonds by individual members. | The Natlonal society, D. A. R., has | decided to purchase a $100,000 bond of the coming issue, securing this sum by a payment of $1 per member, and $145 will be given by the Esther Stan- ley chapter. When the call came in the summer to help the French war orphans, over $400 was speedily rais- ed to care for some of these destitute children. The local chapter is thus ecaring for nine children for one year and one child for two years. During | the summer members of chapter knit five sweaters, seven mufflers, three helmets, three wristlets, thre pairs of socks and two pairs of mittens, all ot which were sent to thc men on the| battleship Connecticut. In September a request came from ! the state regent asking far 15 sets of | knitted garments for the men at the aviation camp at Mineola, Long Island. | Twenty-one sets of six pieces each | have been forwarded, and members of | the chapter are now knitting on 24 additional articles to be sent next week. All this work takes time, but the knowledge that same men are made more comfortable, and the ap- | preciative letters of thanks received, | more than repay those who knit and those who have provided the wool. | Every member of the Esther Stan-| ley chapter is also a member of the Red Cross society, giving time and money to carry on the work of that organization. Much thought is given by indi- vidual members to the conservation of food—using more corn meal and rye flour in ptace of wheat and saving sugar and fats to be sent to the sol- diers abroad. The latest wark being undertaken | by the National society, D. A. R., is the reconstruction of the French vil- lage of Tilloloy. This little town, far behind the present “firing line,” is to be rescued for its former inhabitants | at the cost of $50,000. Connecticut's share of this gift is $2,594, each mem- ber of each chapter being expected the amount. CUPTD VS. GRIM REAPER. Fifteen Deaths and Fourteen Mar« riages During the Past Week.
