V, ,. v .7 ' - , t- National Spcial Aid Society The Special Aid's attendance was somewhat less than usual last Wed nesday due to several prior engage ments on the part of a large number of our workers. However, the collec tion was $112. It is a matter of great interest to s to hear that of this amount $4.41 was given by a friend who made the money in an unique way. bittle figures moulded exquisite ly by . an artistic hand produced this g0odlyv amount. Our faithful Allies Club "which met last time at' the tome of Mrs. Joseph Sharrock, contributed $5 These ladies are so very kind that we cannot say enough about their helpfulness. Another contributor was Master C. C. Chadbourn, Jr., who gave five pennies that he had made himself We hear that this .paptriotic young citizen has a garden in iJapr nership with his mother whichriS; very lucretive, and that he makes many a patriotic penny by doing odd jobs ot which washing the windows inside is one of the conspicuous ones. Master John Duley Strain still continues to bring his penny and (let who will laugh at these tiny gifts, we have learned a lesson not to despise small things, for out of them come sorth inighty opes. Last week Master Carl ton Parker, brought fifteen cherished pennies with a great patriotic mes sage that ought to be delivered to his country, and after he went-his way he fell with another ten pennies and returned to bring them also. Who does not, believe that these pennies will do dollars worth of good? Helping the Red Qross Drive. On learning tjhat the Red .Cross had about 60,000 articles to make by April 2th, the Special Aid immediate ly offered to assume 10,000 of them and the offer was accepted very glad ly. These articles are compresses, tampons, etc., which first aid kits con tain and they are needed in great numbers by our men who are being hurried abroad to fight in the fields of Picardy. We were fortunate ta have on hand a large supply of cotton left .from our own big drive as well as a quantity of gauze, so we are using our own materials in this dona tion. We urge women who have been promising to come and work with us to come now if they ever are coming, because we connot get through with our allotment unless we have plenty of help. We want new workers. It would be like bidding against our selves to ask workers who are work ing at home on the bags for the kits tocome and help we want ' women who are not woring anywhere, we want to teach them and make them useful. Give upp your pleasure for men who are not working anywhere, we lives for you. Our Supervising CommiUee. In making large quantities of new dressings it is essential to have a large committee of experienced wo men to supervise and to teach We have always been privileged to hate the expert advice of Mrs. Peter Cau sey and Mrs. Warren Elliott in all matters relating to dressings, but in making Red Cross supplies of an en tirely new type, it was deemed wise by the executive board to enlarge our teaching and supervising commit tee to include all those from the Spe cial Aid who received instructions from Mrs. Cluis. These ladies are Miss Maud Bullock, Mrs. - Clayton Giles, Mrs. Claiborne James, Mrs. Henry MacMillan, Miss McQueen, Mrs. William Walker and Mrs. Wil llamson. Owing to the fact that Miss Bullock, Mrs. MacMillan and Mrs. Walker have spent the greatest num ber of hours in the work room and have always had charge of tables, they have been asked to serve as a permanent committee, sharing the re sponsibility among them of caring for the supervision of the work This com mittee has equal powers and has no chairman. Miss Sue Hall has beei acting as chairman all winter, but Is leaving us to resume her mountain work, and our permanent committee will be able to - carry on the work. but we shall always claim Miss Hall on the supervising committee when ever she is in the city. We, are deeply Indebted to her for careful teaching and for her 'ready tact and sympathy. Chairmen of Tables. Besides the members of the super vising committee there will be chair men of tables Old chairmen who were enjgaged on French models will re sume their Bopsitions as soon as this drive is over, and those of them who are sufficiently familiar with the new work to undertake the leaderhip of a trible will be asked to do so. Mrs. W. A Hodges will have a gauze table, Mrs. Robert Shepherd and Mrs. J Wallace West. We have not been ad vised of any others at the moment, but will report them as soon as we hear from the supervisors' commit tee. This committee will direct all actual work of making the dressings, and, in fact, the management of all that pertains to them. Their province dovetails into that of the work room director's committee composed of Miss Jane D. Wood and Mrs. Ben Jacobs. The latter committee is sup ported by the chairman's committee which is responsible for the work room during the day on which they are on duty. As the work increases the machinery increases and with 200 block messengers and seven units spattered about, our society has large responsibilities. Let us hope that its usefulness will be as large and as im portant. N Our Liberty Bond Committee Mrs . J. Wallace West with the ten ladies who compose her committee are doing a splendid work. They have an extensive territory We hear that Mrs. McCallahan has the district from Hilton Bridge to the limits of the township and we are curious to know What the results will be. We are glad that Mrs. WeBt' placed agood worker in that section and' grateful to lira? McCallahan for taking it. We think there are some excellent on- poprtunlties there for selling bonds.l we can Dank every day in the week n the Brooklyn, people. Why just the fa ".J yn jrere. entertain- ing the soldiers, Mr. West vasked or four cakes, got rat without the least trouble and could have had ten Just as easily. We welcome thesq sturdy workers with all our hearts and we ; are beginning to think that the heart of the town will have to re M'iible all efforts to keep apace with these ladies. ;.V.-4" Our New, East, Wilmington Unit We asked . Mfss Margaret Cole of Soph-. 3, to, collect pennies in East Wilmington and we want to tell the result of that little work, that she started, there. Not only did pennies come in but Mrs; Jl O;. Brown fol lowed them up with hearty request for work to be given td the EJast Wil mington folks to do. You all know Mr: J. O. Brown Well, you can im agine how that turned out. They took a;do,zen cotton Cards and about 25 pounds of cotton and got a , vacant shop . and set to work. Even seven-year-old Goldie Brown took a hand and'learned to wield the clumsy cards and insisted on keeping her part separate in a paper so the ladies could aee her contribution to the sol diers. And that cotton! Of course Mrs Walker took it. Mrs. Jacobs always seizes the Cameron club cotton, so Mrs.' Walker established a claim to the East "Wilmington cotton and we saw her locking it up and putting the key In her pocket so we think it will all be used In carrel cushions. We wish Mr. Brown could take all the messages to the ladies that we send them, but we don't see how he can. The Cameron Carding Unit. For the 'moment these ladies have stopped carding because we have sus pended pads until we have finished the drive, meantime they are hem ming slings and makings baby snirts. Mrs. Moe's Unit. Mrs. Noe's Unit is making the out ing hoods for the baby layettes. The Soldiers' Comfort Club. The Soldiers' Comfort Club has re turned. The chairman is Miss Dorothy Oldham and she will be respopnsible for the management of the table. A committee came to the work room to ask if their table was ready and if they could begin work at once. We assured them that we were ready. They announced that they would wear approns and capps and equip them selves with work bags and all neces sary sewing materials so we expect to see them engage upon outing mit tens for wee French babies, and lit tle canton flannel shirts. j . Sunset's Canteen. The Sunset TThlt will establish a National Special Aid canteen in a grove at Sunset near the street car terminal where refreshments will be served on Saturday afternoons to per sons coming out to Sunset to enjoy the glorious scenery and delightful air. The canteen will be conducted strictly an Hoover- principles, but the drinks and ' cakes will be excellent. Orders will be taken f(jr bread and cake's of oatmeal. Mrs. Figgatt will take the orders 1694-J). We ask the patronage of the public and wish great success may, attend the efforts of these Special Aiders The Juniors will help serve and are to be dressed in the Alsatian costume which will add a touch of picturesqueness to the scene. Our French Department. Madame Hatchell -has most generous ly offered her services to the soldiers through the Special Aid and has start ed a class in French at the Y. M. C. A. We are indebted to the courtesy of the jnanagement and to the good offices of Mr. Johnson for a class room in the building and for their kind attentions. So far the class has been composed of about seven men who expect to be "over there" before long. We hope that others will take advantage of thia opportunity to learn essential pphrases in the French lan guage. This branch is one of the ac tivities" of the National Special Aid Society and they have for sale a very useful little book which acts as an interpreter for the soldiers. Tin Foil. We are accumulating a quantity of tin foil and collapsable tooth paste tubes Mrs . Garrett has charge oft the committee and asks us to, say that, the Wilmington Savings Bank will give ns space in their building for a box in which these articles may be dropped. We also have a receptacle in the hall forhis purpose Mrs. Mannie Smith brought 8 pounds of these important materials away up to our third floor we are sorry to have her carry it so far and are glad that we can an nounce that any one passing the bank may leave tin foil or old tubes there. They are to be held until we get or ders from the government concerning their disposition. Messages From National Special Aid. Miss Wood brought, back most cheering messages from the New York headquarters of the National Special Aid Society. It was very pleas ant to hear the delightful thingsthat were said about our Wilmington chapter. .Our work has been reported again and . again and we have been quoted to the other chapters as fixing an enviable standard. Plans for ex tending the Patriotic Penny idea were elaborately entered upon and the Lincoln Penny was decided upon as an elblem, permission having been secured from Mr. McAdoo for this, The first section of New York to try the plan was the Bronx. This wis due to the fact that a suffrage leader had an organization , among 37,000 women which was easy to adapt to our block messenger system, and we ; hear that the results are gratifying: It is' in tended to increase this work very ma terially and we hopey many other cities and towns may get 'the benefit from it that we have derived. The Special Aid cares very speiifically, for aviators and we are glad to have a check of $31.80 from the sale of old gold and silver to turn over to the society. We also presented them with a large box of trinkets collected here. The room in which these things are kept is fife and "burglar proof and the articles on exhibit are beautiful. Some valuable. These ir sold' in down town jewelry restore. Others are melted down. : Surgical Dressings Commfttee. Mrsi Willard is Chairman' of the. surgical dressiHffs which has sent surgical dressings committee which has sent over "2,000,000 dressings to France for use by French sureona on our boys and theirs; Mtk : Willsupd listenad to the- story of our penny work with ever increasing ' interest, and at length she could not restrain; herself and said. "But why, I never heard of anything so, wonderful in my life! If. you would only write of it to a ifL Hi rm ir -1 k. i J.l Ji jvirs. . Austin: units.- aiibuu . trjbutes all dressings to France both ours and those of the Red Cross. This arrangement dating" from the time that the surgical dressings became an auxiliary of the Red Cross). What impressed Mrs. WJllard most , was the great number of people contributing to the work. But, indeed. the whole thing pleased her and brought tears to her eyes and smiles to her lips. It was easy enough, to talk to her and to tell her how dear the work was to us, how much we had gotten but of It ourselves and how sincerely we felt that the best of it all was a spirit of unity and fellowship that has seemed to breathe from the work. Mrs. Wil Hard almost wept when she" he&pd of the spiritual blessing that had come to us all, "Oh," she said, "if we hadn't done a thing but be the means for the accomplishment of this our whole work and effort would be worth this1. Give my love to all the people In Wilmington, I feel so drawn toward them that I must send them a per sonal message." To cap the climax of our achievement, it was only nec essary to say that we had sent from our own port on our own town's ship our latest lot of dressings, numbering 21,785. Wilmington is the only town on record having done such a thing. In fact we have the reputation of hav ing accomplished next to the impossi ble. We should be so proud of our record that we should strive to beat it We can do it. Our collections now are almost f double what they used to be, and we can easily increase them without hardship. Let us make Wil mington not only wonderful, but the banner city of the whole South. Shouldn't we be? Wasn't this the home town of Woodrow Wilson? Isnt some of his old spirit hovering over ub7 isn't that sufficient to make us do such remarkable things that the people will say, "Oh, yes, Wllming ton was the President's old home town, of course great things should be expected of a place' that made a man like that." If it could help mould Wilson there must be some deep source of power here,. and perhaps it is that power that has been leading us. Let us encourage it. i ne Lecture. The subject of our lecture was Did Belgium Break Her Neutrality When She Armed Liege?" We proved that she did not, and the tale that she did no so was only another Ger man tale sent out to influence the neutral world. What Germany cannot do by force she seeks to do by argu ment, but we have got in the habit of looking at all her arguments for the trade mark before you put your and where we find that, we know what the thing is worth. Look for the tT"-'if) mark before you buy, look for r rade mark before you pupt your in any story. If it, Can harm our moi-ale in any way it's more than apt to be a German tale to delude the simple.
