The following is the history of the work done by the Newberry county Red Cross chapter: Introduction. "N On May 16, 1917, a group of men and women who had become interested in organizing a chapter of the American Red Cross met in Dr. Geo. B. Cromer's office. Mr. Alan Johnfcptone's motion was carried authorizP*ing a committee composed of Messrs. Z. F. Wright, Geo. B. Cromer and A. S. Rae and Mesdames L. W. Floyd, i W. H. Hunt, F. D. Mower and R. D. j Wright to get the proper authority, to organize a Red Cross chapter. Dr. j 4 Cromer was subsequently requested to communicate with Mr. Suavely, organizer for Southern division. After long distance telephone conversation with Mr. Suavely and Mr. Milder, Dr. Cromer met the latter in Co-' lumbia. j Those same interested people were told to get fifty paid up members. They got one hundred and sixty-nine befdre the authority to organize] reached here. , ' When proper instructions were secured a public meeting, for the purpose of organizing an American Red Cross chapter of Newberry county was advertised in the county papers. This meeting was held at 8:30 p. m., TmItt 5 1Q17 TYr f!rmnpr rvresidin?. v, *"* ? "V x- ? The chairman read the written auth-, ority issued by Mr-. Guy E.

December 1917, 107 packages were sent by this chapter to soldiers. The Red Cross here mailed 317 cartons from home people to soldiers for Christmas 1918. Goodies for 100 Santa Claus stockings for soldiers in the convalescent home at Camn I * i Jackson were boufrht. Members of i the chapter also entertained 16 sol- ; diers from Camp Jackson who ( not o;o home on furlough. | There have been conducted four ' classes in first ?iid, IS ">vonicn having 1 completed the course; five classes in 1 surg--.il-uiv.?s':*gs, 50 women having ; tin course; twti classes in' home ::ursin?. \'i won:-.'^ }iv!r:*jt crn\srere induced to go to BiBJU>pv;lie, S.

There have been 1448 Junior Red Cross members enrolled during the last year, many schools having a 100 per cent membership. The Jun-t r\-*n AVA <4 /ilAfknc A TN^IOPI lvsia gauicicu v^iuiiivo iui uiv ans and fruit seeds for gas ^masks. One Junior auxiliary made 9 beau-, tiful scrap-books. To further interest p?ople in Red Cross worlc subscriptions to the magazine were solicited. Thirty-two persons in town are now taking the Red (jross magazine. Inspired fey a talk from Mr. Par-' kinson the chapter this spring em-: ployed a home service secretary who j visited the secretary in Laurens, S. j C., to learn how to manage the of-' fice. Since then this department has handled 697 cases. 1 j The women of this chapter have made the following articles: Hospital bed shirts 1,206; pajama ' suits 562: oDeratiner cans 185: frac ture pillows 102; operating leggins 50 pairs; bed socks 17 pairs; com-! fort pillows 128; navy comfort kits with housewives 200; Italian comfort! kits 200; property bags 268; sweaters 639; mufflers 383; wristlets 419 pairs; helmits 4; surgical dressings 9,733; socks 188 pairs; outing quilts to Camp Jackson 2; mended shirts to Camp Sevier 994; Belgians relief garments 4,224 pounds. People in town contributed ?and made not only the 148 sheets, 611 hand towels, 304 bath towels, 40 napkins and 425 handkerchiefs for the American hospitals in France but also 9 sheets, 15 pillow cases, 13 bath towels, 20 hand towels, 40 napkins and 37 handkerchiefs for the hqspital of the student army training camp at Newberry college. The latter have since been returned and are kept for use by cases with whom the Red Cross is working. A history of the Newberry county Red Cross chapter would not be complete without special mention being made of the work and of the will to do on part of the negroes. The flourishing auxiliaries were organized in fVio tnwn nnd pvprv pall on them for service with their time or means was met gladly. A drive thru any part of the county will show ' the Red Cross service flag in the window of a majority of colored homes. j At the community Christmas tree j of 1918, every body was reminded that Red Cross work held its place in the Christmastide thoughts of the people. On the public square a large tree was placed and above it glowed an electrically illuminated Red Cross. After the school children (more than j / ! 1,000 in number) had ' gathered i ? -i i- - J xT arouna it ana nau sung men mas anthems, young girls, dressed as Red Cross nurses, Rassed thru the crowd, collecting tiny white bags, a red cross on each, and each containing a Christmas offering towards the work of the chapter. A few months after organizing1 and before any allotments were re-1 turned to the chapter, funds ran ex-! ceedingly low?so low in fact, that thprp wrmld have been no materials with which to continue work. A committee of men was appointed to raise j some money, and with such a ready; response did they meet, that within a few hours more than $1,000 was in ! hand. I The treasurer has handled the following amounts of money in the following way: Receipts.
