2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 SEEK FUNDS FOR WELFARE STATION PERSHING HONORS AMERICA'S FIRST Paris, France, September 6, 1918. North Shore Women Formally Dedi- The Commander in Chief of our cate Infant Welfare Station at Gross Point armies in France has sent the fol- | lowing letter to the Chief of the Air Service comménding the first pursuit group. WELL EQUIPPED STATION | "The Commander in Chief has Visitors Pronounce Work Success; Ready For Contributions New Trier Township is the smallest in the county except one. Yet her high school is one of the best in the state, her grammar schools are sec- ond to none, her churches and parochial schools seldom record a failure; now she has just established her third Infant Welfare station. Two are supported in Chicago by New Trier subscriptions; the young- est was opened on Wednesday at Gross Point and is to be financed by New Trier funds. It is hoped that the subscriptions will be volunteered and that contributions will be made by existing organizations without solicit- ation. Never since modern philanthropy learned with great satisfaction of the work of the first pursuit group of the air service, and desires to worthy record. The handicaps under which this | initial pursuit unit of the American Expeditionary forces has been organ- ized and began the discharge of its duty are well known and recognized. With fine spirit and determination it has overcome obstacles and already achieved an enviable record. Its com- mander and personnel are congratu- lated for their effective and daring work." Other reports of Red Cross com- mittees will be published early in October, and will give the work done for the two months of August and September.

A miracle had been wrought--order and beauty had been brought out of chaos; and nobody dead but the flies! Visitors came between 1 and 2, and pronounced the station among the most attractive and best-equipped they had seen. Between 2 and 4 o'clock 12 infants were received and were given the best advice available in the absence of the physician. People with influenza being barred from the station, the doctor could not come, as he was suffering from it. Much of our present equipment is borrowed. We should like gifts of some good tables and chairs, of rugs and money. We are happy to ack- nowledge gifts of comforters and small blankets (new), a stove, a rug, the room itself, liberal discounts from the merchants, paper toweling, and much hard work.
