. CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our many friends
for the flowers and kindness shown
us during the recent death of our be
loved husband and father.
Mrs. Lewis E. Barfield
^2p and family.
The manpower sitnstion is really
rrltlcal. Several of the larger cities
report It exceedingly difficult to find
any Santa Clauses.
A series of very attractive shop
windows, gotten up with the intentipn
of showing those of ns at home what
a strong and necessary link our Red
Cross is between us and our service
men, has served that'purpose well if
the interest shown in the display is
a good barometer. Most of these dis
plays show the most important side
of the question—what ws send oar
msn, both at home and abroad,
through the Red Cross. But h must
be admitted that the target of inter
est was what our boys have sent us.
and the display made the big Fashion
Shop window look like a comer in a
museum. A little of everything from
everywhere. Vicious looking hand
made weapons, and beautifully gay
colored silks alongside each other,
jewelry from foreign cities, knives
and other weapons from strange is
lands, a Japanese heltnat >nd feed
ing kit, a headhunter's hsndwrought
axe and woodbn shield, a dress of
pineapple cloth from the Philippines
along with other items—including
‘one-way slippers’—too numerous to
list, a grass skirt from the South
Seas, and a Chinese child’s silk cos
tume. Perhaps the two most beauti
ful Items in all the lot were the two
silk parachutes of bright silk, the
red one. which floated ammunition
down to our men, and the yellow
which brought them food.
This window was of absorbing In
terest, and an education to most of
ns. Its arrangement represented a
great deal of trouble and painstaking
care, as each article was tagged for
identification, since most of them
were things we've read about and
beard about, hut never seen. What
our soldiers bare sent us makes a
varied and colorful picture."
What we send our men is not so
artistic, perhaps, but more important
Kit Bags were on display In W. She
ora and Sons’ window. The articlea

point, along with a sample kit hag.
spread out with a background of Red
Cross Emblem and posters. On dis
play were a small book (detective
story preferred?) a deck of cards,
rasor blades, candy, and a few other
items besidM a housewife. This is
a small rolled up sewing kit, contain
ing needles, thread, etc., for the man
who has to do most of his own mend
ing.
The Knitting Display in a Smart
window, was eloquent of the tons of
wool that have gone across the wat
ers to keep our men warm. Beside
piles of knhting wool of olive drab
and dark blue, were an arrangement
and efficient looking window
Outlook. A lifeslxed model wore the
handsome Motor Corps uniform, and
arranged neatly about were a folded
blankeL a profeealonal First Aid i^t
and booklet, and other ttenia used
by the Motor Corps in its work of
.driving amhnlances end carinf far
emergencies.
The Nureesf Aid window war in the
Camden Beauty Shop. This was very
attractive, with a lifesixed model in
the blue Nursaa’ Aid uniform, against
a auitably patriotio background. *11)18
is one of the moet becoming of all the
uniforms—one worth, .trying.
The Canteen Corps, which is sup
posed to serve food quickly in time
of disaster, bad a small but pretty
window at The Hat Box. A large
bowl of fruit was in the foreground,
and aronnd it ware set little card
board, figures of Cantean workers in
their blue uniforms and caps. TBaue
depicted some of tho real dnUea of
this Corps. Peeling potatoes, stir
ring soup, painting the wall and of
fering sustenance to one lone llAle
cardboard soldier. Patriotic poatm
completed the picture. *
Staff Assistanea was represented in
a windolw of Ekhel’s Depsrtme^
Store, by a pretty model in a ySiThw
uniform with yellow veil. She was
seated befofti a desk, with a type
writer, a file box and vase of spring
flowers. The Red Cross emblem and
posters filled In the background, and

was one of the principal speakers st
a sectional meeting of the Inter
national College of Surgeons In Birm
ingham, Ala., recently.
Dr. Moore atated in his talk that
in the Civil war over 92 per cent of
injured men with compound factures
died of teUnns. gas. gangrene or in
fection. whether or not ampnUtion
had been neceasary, but in the pres
ent war deaths from bone Injuries
are less than 1 per cent.
He described how the new type
operation allowed the patient to he
out of the hospital in approximately
two weeks, with no brace, casts or
other necessary support. Previously
spinal fusions and hone grafting op
erations required many weeks of hos
pitalisation, with fully six months of
Incapacity. s
To Doctor Moore goes credit for
original work with the pinning and
nailing of his- fraetores. which for
years had been cases where the pati
ent had to lie in bed for months with
a weight on his log.
Through Doctor Moore’s methods
of nailing fractures with four nails
and through the'uBa of a blade-plats,
patients with fractured hips may sit
up earlier and are hack to reasonable
conditions fairly soon.
“If yon can keep an~--Md iierson
active and going at a normal rate of
metabolism, he will have a gdod
chance to recover,” he explained.
‘Bat if be cannot move he is likely
to develop fatal complications.”

over a hundred and fifty photographs

This display of photographs is a per
manent one, belonging 1^ the owner
of the store, and it helped make this
window stand out in patriotic inter
est to the people at home.
Enough thanks cannot be given the
merchanta of Camden, who are al

space and help, and who, in this in
stance, are helping in bringing home
to the people some of the many
worthwhile thlnga the Red Cross is
