C. * / WORK OF VOLONTEERS RED CROSS BACKBONE Men and Women Who Give Serv ices Aid Greatly Surgical Dressings, Knitting, Sewing Still Carried On. I Thousands of women, who were first enrolled as Red Cross workers during the period o£ the World War, have never ceased in their labors for that organization, but still carry on knitting garments for disabled sol diers, making dresses and layettes for children and infants, and giving -hours of their time in the various activities of Red Cross jwork. Volunteer work by men also plays a large part in the organization of Red Cross. This volunteer work is the back bone of Red Cross. Fully eighty-five per cent of the service this bumani- ■ tarian organization is able to render the public, through public health, American Junior Red Cross, service to disabled veterans of the World War, and the service men of the regu lar establishment, and its many other ' activities, must fall upon the shoulder of the volunteer worker. Not only is this true of the national headquar ters where such distinguished volun teers are enrolled as Judge John Bar ton Payne, chairman, and Miss Mabel Boardman, secretary of the Red Cross, and Col. E. P. Bicknell, vice chairman in charge of foreign opera tion, but also in every community where Chapter chairmen and other men and women devote hours of their time to fostering and planning the valuable and humane work of Red Cross, so that it may be ever ready to serve in time of distress, catas trophe or great national emergency. In the year just ended, 253,000 gar ments were provided by Red Cross Chapters, including 1,399 layettes with nineteen articles each, for use in disaster areas. Women who rolled surgical dress ings ten years ago, with the help of new volunteers, still carry on this work for hospitals in their communi ties, and for the Chapter's stock, where a supply must be maintained to answer emergency calls. In the year just ended, the women made 2,276,000 dressings. No type of volunteer work is more interesting or meets greater apprecia tion from its beneficiaries thai 'hp distriDution each December of Christ mas bags—one of which goes to every service man in the Army and Navy stationed on a distant post. Each year the request comes for more bags, until for Christmas, 1928, Red j Cross volunteers have been asked to i provide 42,000. The; bags, containing J small necessities dear /to a service ' man's heart, go to the Philippines. I China, Guam, Nicaragua and all the i distant ports where Uncle Sam's men | are stationed. Another service these volunteers 1 perform, which has generally gripped ; the imagination of all who have come | l* touch with, it, is the transcription into Braille for the blind of hundreds ! of books. Need of certain types of j books for the blind first came to the I attention of Red Cross through the blinded veterans of the World War. From work begun for the war blind, with a few devoted workers, this transcription of books now is being carried on by 1,029 Braille transcrib ers, who during this year have hand copied 150,705 pages, and 348 titles have been completed. Major David Glickman and mother Mrs. Katie Glickman left Sunday for French Lick Springs to spend sev eral weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Abe Berman and pisses Sadie and Vivian Cohen, of Spartanburg visited Mr. and Mrs. Lee Stein here Sunday. Fifty nations tly the Red Cross flag. For all it carries the symbolic mean ing of help in lime of distress; of health preservation; disease preven tion, and international co-operation in humane effort, which recognizes no frontier, no difference in language, but only merciful help for all men. \ njr - TRAIN SCHEDULES —.— I Seaboard No. 109, South, Arr. 10:30 a. m.
