The Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense recommended the wearing of a brassard as substitute for mourning by the relitVinao crtMfora nud RailOfS I HVCO UJL 0 v.MV? who liave lost their lives in the service. This action was brought to the attention of the president of the lUnited States, who sent the following letter to Doctor Anna Howard Shaw, the chairman of the Woman'3 Committee: Washington, May 22, 1918. My Dear Doctor Shaw: Thank you for your letter or yes-i terday. I do entirely approve of thj action taken by the Woman's Committee in executive session, namely, that instead of the usual mourning a three-inch black band should be v - 1 worn upon which a gilt star may be placed for each member of the family when life is lost in the service, and that the band shall be worn on the left arm. I hope and believe that thoughtful people everywhere will be kind enough to make the suggestion to the committee public with the] statement that it has my cordial endorsement. . Cordially and sincerely yours (Signed* "Woodrow Wilson. In adopting: this insignia the Wotnan's Committee desires that ft sfrould never be commercialized, buf that it should always be possible for the.; members of the families of those ? *- - #Vfo cimrpmA saeri WHO .???e utaub iuu> fice to.; prepare for themselves thte badgje of honor. In order to facilitate the adoption -of th.? brassard it "has seemed to the Woman's Committee that the Chapters of, the American Red Cross are ez^rel! equipped to prepare them, and the committee has therefore reonested these chapters through tso oVarrman of the War Council of the American Red Cross to furnish .the brassards to those who have the right to wear them, either of black br*oadcIpth, or of thin black elastic,according to the texture of the garment with which it will be worn. To this band, the regulation military star c?i/v?n.(tfrtoonffia nf an inch em ili.LUCU'OiAvvvMVMu broidered in gold thread shall be applied by hand. It is understood that the brassard and star will be furnished without charge to the widow and the parents of the soldier or sailor. To other members of the family the brassard will fce furnish t?U <tl WOlr This wwild not imply any exclusive right to prepare the brassard, but would merely be such a sympathetic service tire meters of the Ret! Cross delight to render, and it will be understood by the local units of the Woman's Committee that this action is a joint one between their organization and the American Red I Cross. H. P.

The home, service section of the Newberry Red Cross chapter in co-! opration with the Woman's Commi*-' : tee cf the Council of National Dei fense wiir prepare these brassards for distribution to the bereaved families. Those persons desiring brassards are asked to apply to Mr. John M. Kinard, chairman, home service section. "Linen Shower." At the executive committee meeting on Wednesday, iMrs. J. M. Workman, chairman of the "Linen Shower" reported a shipment from the Newber* ry Chapter as follows: 148 sheets, - - - ?? on 4 '425 handkerchiefs, 40 napKins, out bath tqwels, 611 hand towels?value $700.

This committee is to be commended , for the splendid work accomplishe-i , in so short a time, as are also the . auxiliaries and branches that responded so generously. >"ew Members. The membership chairman report. ?d 86 new members from West End QUARANTINE PLACED ON FOR ANOTHER WEEK. At a meeting of the city board of health on Wednesday afternoon it was decided to keep the schools and churches and picture shows closed for another week. It was given out. during the week that the ban would be removed and regular services in the churches would be resumed on I Sunday morning and that the schools would open on Monday. It is stated that the board reachel this coclusion, to close for another week as a precautionary measure, not that there is any increase in the infuenza in the city. On the contrary the situation is improved. The State board has lifted the quarantine so far as it is concerned, and Sheriff 'Blease has been notified to permit the opening of schools and churches in the county unless there - were communities where it was not advisable in his judgment so to do. In other words has left the matter to his discretion. He has decided that it is not necessary longer to keep the churches of the county closed, except in a few places wher? the citizens of the community have requested him to do so, but as a general thing the churches will be op?n r?nimtv next Sunday. iu ~ ? _ - _ We can not see the necessity of keeping the churches of this city closed, because the service as a rule does not last more than an hour, and this is a time when the people/ should come together in prayer if there ever wag such a time, and then there are a great many people who are looking for an excuse to remain away from church and it would not require a very sick person to decide that he was too sicfc to go to church. And besides the churches are rarely over crowded any way.. There is a great deal more danger, it seems to ? At. ? us, of spreading the disease in tue crowded stores and the mills where the people are kept all: day am! wlw* tire stores are crowded with a mixed population and sometimes in wjr considerable crowds. But wp have no doubt the board is acting from what it thinks the best for the health of the- community and none of us see thines just alike and we supnose it is well. As we seel it in this Christian country the ( ^hnr^h and the school are just as much a factor in the life of the country and .fust as important as the channels of commerce and if the one can go on in i'ts accustomed waythere should he no reason why the other should not go on and perform its proper functions. Quarantine Orders Explained. \ The State board of health notinea Sheriff Blease that the quarantine in this county could be lifted Sunday if the local athorities are satisfied they are justified in dointr so. ; Any town in the county may raise j thefr quarantine if the board of health of the town think it advisable. All schools, churches, etc., in the country may open Sunday \ except those notified not to do so. Sheriff Blease requests the citizens of any community that think tbe onenin* of any church or school I I Sunday or ."Monday will he dangerou? | I to the health of that community to report same to him at once so that he can investigate the same and quarantine that place. Some people never will he able to understand why the churches could not be kept open for one hour Sunday morning while cotton mills were running "all the day long/' auxiliary; No. 2 township 56, (1"; white, 39 colored); Silverstreet lj 3 from the town. A contribution of $9 from Trinity; $3 from Mr. Alewine for the children in France.

Everyone should know that 200 peach stones or seven pounds of nutc will produce carbon sufficient to pro > I nno snidipr from German jjas. Every member of our community can help in this great work if they will?May we count on you? Mrs. L. W. Floyd, Ch. Pub. Com. BED CROSS WORKERS NEEDED FOR OVERSEAS SERVICE. The (Department of Personnel of the Southern Division of the Red 1 Cross has an urgent call for workers < for overseas service. The work to be done includes two separate forms of service. One is for outpost duty and the other for 'field representative. The out posts are situated in close geographical re lation to the front. The men are used for the work of distributing hot drinks, socks, sweaters and other comforts to the men going into and coming out of the line. These workers will remain fixed at the posts to which they are assigned and will not be required to move about with the division. Their work is mjost important at the same time being extremely interesting and varied. The work of the Field Representa tives will bring such workers in direct contact with Army Commanders and the heads of large hospitals. These men must command the respect of and be fully fitted to mingle, on a basis of intimacy with such men. tbey must have tact, imagination, discretion and initiative. Men accepted for this branch of service may be also used as assistants to zone commanders; they may be assigned to work in hospitals and will form a point of contact between the Red Cross and the commanding officers in hospitals and will Jsare considerable control orer casualty searchers, social service workers in hospitals ai?d will assume the duties ?fa reg ular field representative.
