The titles of the various officers smack of the navy, such as commandant, executive officer, ship's writer, which correspond to president, vicepresident and secretary.

Grant on Saturday. For some time past the workers for this project Mrs. j Owen, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Rulien : have been putting forth every effort to reach the quota for out community. Last year, according to Mrs. Owen, 1200 men couW not be supplied with I Xmas gifts beeause there were not | sufficient to be distributed. This year .that,is not going to happen if it is • left to us.

Many thanks to the donor, Mrs. Lester i Bacon. Mrs. Cornwall Sherman sent in a cash donation, for which we are very grateful. --R--C--- Mrs. William Green, Mrs. Stanley Nelson, Mrs. Albert Vales and Mrs. Frank Ganz are a committee of Red Cross workers who are to collect garments for the needy children of McHenry. Anyone having anything to donate, please get in touch with anyone of the above ladies. a --r--c-- Mrs. McGee announced that Mrs. 1 Clarence Redwanz has received her pin for 144 hours work. • •' --^ --R-C-- ! By the way, this column has been running for some time, and it is just about time for whoever has charge of sending the news to the press to 1 recognize two of McHenry's most charming ladies, who are always on the job. They take the knocks, just like the rest of us, but it seems to me with just a little more of the soldier's spirit, and they are ever ready with a smile. One of them looks just like a Southern belle in her yellow uniform. The other petite young woman lives next door to the writer, and we know that -she is the busiest person imaginable, but finds time for Red Cross. Yes, you guessed it, they are Mae Miller and Lenore Cooley, both staff as-j sistants. --R--C-- Marie McKim of McCullom Lake! has completed her quota of bags. We didn't know, perhaps, that she cut, sewed and completed an unusually j Iarg^ supply, but she did. Marie is a hustler and what she undertakes, she does with a zip. Along with finding time for press duties, she's a combination messenger "gal" news dispatcher, charity worker, saleswoman and just about everything one can think of. Wonder what McCullom Lake would be without people like Marie and Stell? _R_Ci_ There is another little community called Ringwood. We say little, but it's a mighty big place if one measures it by thp wonderful spirit of the Red Cross workers who come from there. Mrs. Reihansperger says they come in to make dressings over slippery, skiddy roads, and it isn't attributing .too much to them to say that without a doubt, our 3,200 dressings in two weeks was due in a great measure, to the loyal workers from Ringwood. Keep it up ladies, our demands this line are getting greater and greater. Last Tuesday evening the dressing room was open until 10:00. Next week the dressing room will be open all day, Monday, December 21st. The room will not be open on the following Wednesday. --R--C-- Ladies of McHenry--not one of us, but who feels war right on Our doorsteps. However, remember-- '*1 pledge allegiance." Please do all you can for the Red Cross. We are calling for bandages by the thousands, we are calling for donations, we are calling for homemade cakes and cookies. Theer is always a way open to help. Please Help. ---R--C-- Wait 'till I catch my breath. The I phone just rang, and I ran upstairs fast as I could to my typewriter, after I received a good piece of news. Just heard that Joanne Rulien has gone over the top and enrolled McHenry schools 100'/r in the Junior Red Cross Drive and has collected enough cash donations for the youngsters to give our McHenry quota, each sick serviceman, a brand new dollar bill. Mrs. Rulien has been appointed head of the Junior Red Cross in McHenry. In the short period of time, since her ap- Doitn tmpnt « M--ro Pe»,in; r * o u e„ a, a Junior Surgical Dressing class for Monday evenings also. Mrs. Dorothy Gibbs is chairman of the rural school Junior Red Cross. --R--C-- Eyer hear of MRS. DURLAND ? Who hasn't in this community ? Who isn't always ready for emergency? Who is the first one a great number of people call upon when trouble strikes, and who isn't going around boasting of all the god things she is j doing? Elvira Durland. I'll get call led down for printing this, but will ; take a chance. Did you say McHenry j hasn't gunpowder women ? Well ! guess! MRS.
