County Organization of American
Red Cross.
At the call of Dr. Quy E Suave
ly, Director of the Bureau Of Dev. 1-
optnent, Southern Division American
Red Cross, representees of the
American liel Cross Chapters of
Burlington, Graham and Mebane,
together with the branches  f these
several Ch ipters, met at the Court
House in Graham, on July 29th,
and jterfected a Count}- Organiza
tion of the Ited Cross for Alamance
County.
Mr. J. G. Lane, of the Atlanta
office of the American Ked Cross,
who is Field Secretary, was present
at this meeting and made an inspir
ing talk on the work of the Red
Cross, and explained at length the
purpose and detail of the County
Organization. The great work which
the Ited Cross is called upon to do
i on account of the war made it neces
sary to decentralize the- National
Organization into fourteen great Di
visions. All Chapters in a given
Division have to report to and make
orders, from the Division Head
quarters. The County Organiza
tions are, in effect, County Divisions,
and greatly reduce the number of
Chapters with which Division Head
quarters have to keep in touch.
The County Organization is, in
effect, a Red Cross Division, ana
is composed of a Board of Direc
tors elected ny the several Chap
ters, on th'j basis of one director
for each 100 members of the Chap
ter. This Boaro of Directors elects
an Executive Committee and offi
cers for the County Organization,
and the County Organization has
its several committees which cor
respond to the Chapter Organiza
tions.
The Alamance Chapter organized
>nd elected Mr. E. 3. Parker. Jr,
of Graham, Chairman; Mr. W. E.
Sharpe, of Burlington, vice-Chair
man ; Mr. J. 3. White, of Mebane,
Secretary; Mr. Jas P. Montgom
ery of Burlington, Treasurer; Mrs.
Lawrence S. Holt, Jr., of Burling
ton, Director ol Woman's Work.
These officers, together with the
Chairmen of the vnrious Commit
tees of the County Organisation,
constitute the Executive Commit
tee. The Executive Committee Will
meet once a month for the trans
action of business, and the Board
of Directors meet annually on the
-Ith Wednesday of October, for th?
election of officers. There may be
call meetings from time to time as
may be deemed n'-cess .ry.
ThJ several Chapttrj of thi coun
ty retain their organization Just Us
heretofore, but instead Of reporting
direct to the Atlanta of.'iee. report
to the County Organisation. All
matters of a county-wile nature
will be attended to by th? Execu
tive Committee of th* County Or
ganization.
The combined membership of the
Graham, Burlington and Mebane
Chapters is more than 3,000. ThCBV
Chapters stand in the front ranks
in all activities of the American
Red Cross in the Southern Division.
Their co-operation on a county ba
sis, with this large membership,ana
the great work that his already
been done, msans that the work
will go forward with even better
results in the future.
Jly order of Director McAdoo,
unification of tlie Southern rail
way, Norfolk A Western aud
South Hound depots and yards iu
Winston-Salem will become effect
ive August 1.
Luther Bowen, four-yoar-old
son of the postmaster of W»t
Durham, was hanging over the
rail of a pond, when he fell in and
drowned before help could reach
him.
HAVE YOU BEEN SICK?
Then you realize the utter weakness
that robs ambition, destroys appetite
and makes work a burden.
To regain your strength nothing has
ever equaled or compared with Scott's
Emulaion; its blood-enriching proper
ties give energy to the body while its
tonic value sharpens the appetite in
a natural, permanent way.
If you are run down, tired, nervous,
overworked or lack strength, be suro
to get Scott's Emulsion today.
