14 RED CROSS IS LAUDED FOR HOME WORK Little Notes of Appreciation • Show Spirit With Which Aid Is Received Measures of Red Cross work, not In dollars but in letters and notes of appreciation, were made public yes terday afternoon at a meeting of the executive committee of the Har risburg chapter. The little notes of appreciation are treasured and ap preciated by officials of the Red dross as much as the daily records of the huge sums of money raised as the campaign grew nearer and final ly went far past the SIOO,OOO mark. It is the intention of the women t headquarters to keep constantly In touch with the ones whom the | men called into service leave atj home. Not in pecuniary assistance alone, although money will not be wanting when money is required, But the little human touches to make life .iust a trifle easier for the ones at home, is what the Red Cross workers consider their real work in the long months to come. A letter was received yesterday by Mrs Lyman D. Gilbert, from a sol dier now in service, thanking the ladies of the Harrisburg Red Cross for just a bit of encouragement and help they had been able to extend to a wife in this city when she needed a human touch of sympathy and kindenss the axjr Another letter, from a man in service on the bor der of the great lakes expressed the same sentiment. His wife had called at headquarters and the reception Ihe ladies had given her when she seemed most alone and friendless had been the subject of a letter to her husband. The husband, touched by the spirit of the letter describing the treatment she had received, in duced him to write headquarters thanking them in the name of a sol dier of his country whose wife was willing that he should go when he was needed. A letter was also received from a young physician recently called into service. The Red Cross had done nothing but furnish him with one of the kits they have sent to Har -1 sbig men, yet the spirit back of the little tribute prompted him to thank and encourage the work. The executive committee yester day decided to have posted the names of every member called into active service, regardless of the branch, it would already make quite a large roll of honor and as men or women are called into their country's service another name will be added to the Roll of Honor. To keep in touch with these, as well, who must bear the brunt of the conflict as well as those who silently fight it out in loneliness at home, will also be a constant object in the future. Each Harrisburg man or woman in service means one deserv ing of the support of the home chap ter. Officials say, to establish a bond of sympathy between them and the ones who could not go will not be the chief end and aim of the entire membership who are left at home.
