Along* The ?may Way \ Killette y The American Red Cross is one of the oldest relief organizations in operation today. Duplin's chapter of the Red Cross dates back to 1914, according to a June 13, 1947 issue of THE DUPLIN TIMES. The early chapter of the Duplin Red Cross was established during the World War I period and de pression years. The main function of the Red Cross in our county during the depression years was to assist in supplying the need for clothing. As the depression years began to end, the Red Cross chapter in our county became inactive. The Duplin chapter of the Red Cross was reorganized in August of 1932 with J.E. Jerntt as chairman and Inez Boney as secretary. Jerritt was still serving as chairman when the 1947 article of the history of the Red Cross organization in the county was published in THE DUPLIN TIMES. Inez Boney served as secre tary until 1943. ' Inez Boney was the director of Duplin's Welfare Department and from 1941-43 she and her stafl helped raise funds and organize production corps for the county Red Cross chapter. Working with Boney it the Welfare Department were Grace C. Vann, Helen Beems and Doris Rouse. The Red Cross job as Duplin's Executive Secretary employed its first time person in 1943. Mrs. George Strang was hired as the first full-time paid Red Cross worker in Duplin County and she served six months. After the resig nation of Strang, Mrs. N.B. Boney was hired as the Duplin Red Cross Executive Secretary. Mrs. Boney works with the Red Cross today. The office for Duplin's chapter was located in the Welfare building in Kenans ville During Strang's six months with the Red Cross she organized a Camp and HospitaJ Council. The workload of the Red Cross grew until a part-time employee was hired in July of 1945. Welfare office employees still worked as volunteers. The Duplin Red Cross carried a variety of nutrition, first aid and home n-irsing courses to sites throughout the county in addition to work with home services, production corps and the Camp and Hospital Council. A Junior Red Cross was estab lished by Mrs. N.B. Boney in 1932 and she sctved as director of that group until 1943 when O.P. Johnson began. The county schools all en rolled in the Junior Red Cross under Johnson during his two years as director of the organization. Mrs. George Bennett became director of the group after Johnston's resig nation and she was serving at the time of the 1947 article. The years 1942 and 1943 were named as the most productive period since the Duplin Red Cross or ganized. However, records have been lost and a report of the years beginning April 1943 through May 1946 was given in the article. Figures said to far exceed the report pubr lished in the history article in 1947. Production corps made, labeled, packed and shipped, the following supplies during April 1943-May 1946: Army, 751 sleeveless sweaters and 20 sweaters with sleeves, 118 mufflers, 160 helmets, 636 filled kit bags, 210 utility bags, 127 bedside bags, 143 housewives (sewing kits), and 457 layette articles; Navy, 37 sweaters and 30 pair of socks; War Relief, 14 women's dresses, 19 children's dresses, 24 men's shirts, two boys' suits, one muffler, (2 pairs men's pajamas, 11 women's shawls Wall of Warsaw served as Red Crow < production chairman followed by j Mrs. Henry Stevens of Warsaw i during the period April, 1943-May 1946.
