“WOKLIFft GREATEST MOTHKR”
It shoald to unnecessary^ to apeak
or the uses to which tbs Kad Cross
money is to ha put. Mast of the peo-
ple of Pryor sad Mayes county are
already familial' with the work done
in the I'egga disaster, which waa so
groat that one community could not
not take care of the relief work.
Since the lied/Cross Is s national or-
gam/.anon it la able to call relief
fiom all parts of the nation. It wasj
on the ground within a few hours af-l
ter the cyclone had struck Peggs. It
was on the ground within 36 hours
after the Corpus Christl flood, and
hud supplies aid workers on hand.
Just as Interesting to us, Is the
work that has done In a constructive
way,* outside «jf relief work, by the
Hume Service Section and the Public
Health Nurslhg department, right
here in Mayes county. Since the
first of November, of last year, the
Home Service department has spent
in this county. $1,139.27. This
norms a large amount, but when we
realize how much work Iihs been
done, we wonder how anch a small
nmount could accomplish what it has.1
Here U a partial list of the accom-
plishments:
178 returned soldiers have heenj
assisted. Some were furnished tick
• ts to their homes. Letters have
been written helping some with thelr j
pay. Seventeen were examined for'
compensation. The Red Crons loaned |
money to one boy, for a serious oper-
ation, which saved his life. This
•noney has been returned. Four
were loaned money for furloughs
home during illness. Three of these
have returned the money.
Eleven 'mothers and infants were
cared for. Five of these were furn-
ished with badclothes and clothing.
Two civilian families were assisted In
the same way. Seven soldier moth-
ers were assisted. The storm suf-
ferers west of Pryor were cared ror
by the local Chapter. Money was
given where needed, and loaned
without interest in other case*. Nine-
teen families on the Mayea county
side of Peggs were cared for. This
was not from Chapter funds—the
money for this work came from do-
nations by Oklahoma’s big hearted
citizens—but the*work was done un-
der Red Cross supervision.
The people of Pryor and Mayes
county know rirst hand of these
cases. They know the Red Cron has
been doing great work. They real-
ize that It ts just as necessary as It
was during the war. It is now the
Red Cross of Peace, and well de-
serves the name; “The Greatest
•Mother In the World."
The Fourth Roll Call is here.
People of Mayes county will respond
to Its appeal. At the convention in
Oklahoma City, a delegate remarked
that "The peak Of the Home Ser-
vice Work among soldiers will not be
reached until 1925.” .
Our boys have done their work.
Let us do ours.
