After: the three chapel altars have received their Saturday decorations, a fourth stop is made in the Red Cross hospital recreaâ€" tion room, where bouquets are arâ€" ranged for the portable altar used for rotational services for all faiths among the convalescent men. The boys begin looking in the cookie jar when the flowers have arrived, as several dozen .cookies tagged for their cookie jar, ride to the Fort in the flowerâ€"filled car, along with several bundles of knapsack libraries made by suburban organâ€" izations. Garden Club Prepares For Easter at Fort ‘There surely will be stars in the crowns of these faithful womâ€" en who supply and arrange our alâ€" tar bouquets each Sunday," said Chaplain Ewert in tribute to those who have taken this voluntary reâ€" sponsibility for so long. "The flowâ€" ers are a beautiful ‘part of our services mppreciated by the chapâ€" lains ~and servicemen alike." About 9:30 on Easter â€"morning, when Mrs. Hugh Riddle of Highâ€" land Park has deposited herâ€"chilâ€" dren in . Sunday ‘school, she and Mrs. Robert Prosser will take seâ€" lected flowers to the Fort and arâ€" range a bouquet for the Service club where‘ boys will meet their families later in the day. Whether it be flowers for Easter morning, bedside bouquets for the sick, cookies for the hungry, knapâ€" sack libraries for their ‘D‘ days, books and magazines to while away long : evening hours, a | cheery ‘goodmorning‘ to a G.â€" I. whose uniform looks very new â€" it all adds up to a largeotal of thoughtâ€" ful things that women‘ do to make life a little brighter for the men at the Fort. Every Saturday gr the past three years, Mrs. Harry N. Kerr, chairman of the volunteers and also© chairman of Fort Sheridan activities for the Illinois Garden elubs, has filled her car with eut flowers and greenery, driven to the Fort and arranged large bouâ€" quets in the altar urns for Sunâ€" day services. She has been assistâ€" ed by Mrs. George Moyer of Wilâ€" mette and Mrs. Walter Marx of Kenilworth. ~ RED CROSS NOTES Local Boy Speaks \ Easter lilies banked against graceful ferns will provide tradiâ€" tional altar ornamentation for Easter services in the chapels at Fort Shridan. A large part of the decorations will be furnished by the Illinois Garden clubs, which collaborate with the Fort Sherâ€" idan Volunteers in bringing‘a great many touches reminiscent of homeâ€" life to soldiers at the post. "By all means,".writes Lt. Hoâ€" mer Smith, AAF, â€"~formerly of Highland Park, ‘"Take $25 and give it to the Red Cross. If any organization deserves it, that is the one." He adds that life is made endurâ€" able in the German prison camp where he is now confined, by the Red Cross. Especially welconie at Christmas time were the gift packâ€" ages received through this agency.
