Wide and World-Wide Activities of Mother Organization. The work of the local chapter of the American Red Cross is receiving deserved recognition throughout the Southern Division of the Red Cross, and at headquarters of thi sorganiza tion, according to Miss Minnie Rogers of the Laurens chapter, who this week returned from a conference In Atlan ta with workers from all parts of the South. "The aggregate of the things ac complisahed by all the chapters in the South, since the adoption of the Peace Time Program of the Red Cross is surprisingly large, and the reports which twere made fron all sections of the South at the conference in Alan ta were very encouraging" said Miss logers. "''This cIapter, of course, has a part in the nation-wide and world-w'ide work of the Red Cross, and is help ing to sipport this phase of Ried Cross work, as it is supporting the work in (his count3', with which everyone is familiar. It will be interesting to Red Cross members to know that dluring the past year, the contributlions of this c hapter-to the national work of the or ganization have helped il relieving more than thirty thousand victims of various disasters, fires, floods, torna does, and 9ther unavoidable disasters, that it helped provide more than a thiousandi Red Cross Nurses for the woundied and sick ex-service men in ..
