As Chairman of your local Red Cross Chapter I wish to say a word about the splendid response given by the members oI this Chapter when, on Thursday, Feb.-12, a call went out for active service on your part to help light the threatened Influenza epidemic. Rev. T. D. Collins, who is always 111 touch with the needs of our commu nity, felt that the time was at hand when^our Chapter could render-val uable aid, and at his suggestion, and also that of our doctors. In less than ' three hours after the need was known, a nursing committee was formed with Mrs. G. A. Cralle as Cnalrman, and a diet kitchen opened where dinner and supper were prepared for ' four families the same day of organisation. When It was found that several fam ilies a'few miles out from Loulsburg would have to.have assistance, Mr. Collins, Dr. Fleming, Mr. W.B. Tuck er, Mrs. Arthur Person, Mrs. B. N. Williamson, Mrs. J. M. Allen, Mes C dames F. B. and D. F. McKlnne and others, Immediately offered to take their cars and carry food and nurses to these stricken families. Among those who volunteered to nurse were, Mesdames W. E. White, R. Z. Eger ton, S. J. EdenB, G. F. Smith, F. O, Swindell. W. Underhill, F. B. McKln ne, D. F. McKinne, Miss Kathleen Eg erton and Mr. Blair Tucker. Those who volunteered and assisted in the <'iet kitchen were, Mrs. T. W. Wat ~ ?">-?, Mrs. W. P. Neal, Mrs. G. A. Ricks TJrs. J. L. Palmer, Mrs. It. H. Davip, :'li v J. W. Maim, Mrs. Ailliui Person, Mrs. S. J, Parhan? Mrs. T. D. Collins , and l)!rsvJ. S. Howell. Contribu tions of money, eggs, buttor, chickens etc. were made by Mr. Hugh Perry, Mesdames W H. Rufflo, T. W. Wat son, Lela Williamson, Emma Allen, S, C. Holden, F. ft. Allen, D. T. Smith viuk.

This, ot course is due to the fact that the people of Louisburg ana Franklin . _unt>\ have always-so generously^ ve snnndpn < -> every mil m ml p upon them for help, and have by answering the Red Cross Roll Call each year, and remaining members of this Chapter by paying the dollar a year membership ^-dues, enabled the organization to - be alive and ready whfen our community needs help. The fine personel of its workers is best shown in the beautiful spirit ot self-foreetfuniess that sent its volunteer nurses into Tiomea where It seemed that nothing but a miracle could prevent their contracting 'the diseaae. T . ' After being open for two weeks the diet kitchen will close today, but the service of the Red Cross will contin ue, and aa an organization it stands as ever ready to. help .in time of need. Chapter I wish, to thank every mem ber for their willing response and splendid^ assistance.

We are told by those whose stories we can not doubt that conditions in Armenia at present are almost indescribable and unless aid comes from the outside starvation and dlseaae will practically wipe the en tire population.
