Many residents of Steelton who have not been in immediate touch with those active in Red Cross work are unable to appreciate the im portant part this borough has taken in supplying Red Cross materials and finances since its organization. Re-Elect Officers The chapter is in good financial standing. Reports of Mrs. R. M. Rutherford, treasurer of the chapter, were made. The results of the elec tion of officers at the meeting Wed nesday afternoon were announced last night as follows: Chairman, Mrs. Quincy Bent: vice-chairman, Mrs. Charles Alden; treasurer, Mrs. R. M, Rutherford; secretary, Mrs. Solomon Hiney; ex ecutive committee, Mrs. Marion Hill, Mrs. R. V. McKay, Mrs. E. R. Whip ple, Mrs. W. F. Darby, Mrs. John Bethel, Mrs. William H. Nell, Mrs. Frank A. Robbins and Mrs. W. E. Chick. The annual report of Mrs. Bent chairman of the chapter, reads as follows: "On February 16, a small number of women gathered in Trinity parish house to listen to three earnest work ers of the Harrisburg chapter of the American Red Cross tell of the great opportunity open to all, to work through this society for the relief of the suffering and distressed, both civil and military. "So inspired wore we who heard this, that it was decided that very day to organize a chapter in Steelton and so on the following week we be- work. "At first it was decided to make surgical dressings and hospital sup plies, but on receiving a notification from Washington of the urgent need of garments, we bent our energies to this work. Campaign Brings Results "The vestry of Trinity Church most generously offered us the use of the parish house and there we held our meetings until May 4. On April 11 the membership campaign was in augurated and met with such splendid response, as you all know, and increased our membership to over 4,000. More workers came and their enthusiasm and support en couraged us to open the rooms for two days a week, but even this did not seem sufficient and we began to realize that to conduct the various departments properly, we must have more space.

Rooms Open Three Days "Since we have been here, the work has grown steadily and our membership increased. The rooms are open now three days a week and lunch is served on two of these. When I tell you that we have shipped 2,748 articles, consisting of 1,692 hantlages, 305 pairs of pajamas, 57 bath robes, 44 pairs of bed socks, 36 hot water bottle covers, 192 surgical shirts'and have given to every man who has left the territory within the jurisdiction of this chaptep and has been accept ed in the United States Army, a cofort kit, totaling 162, and that on August 22 an order came from Wash ington for 2,000 knit articles, of which, since that date, we have ship ped 412, and have in work at the present 655 more—that the value of raw material on hand to October 1, is $3,379.32 —that our expenses have been s6l.9B—that we have spent in supplies $3,434.59, I think you will agee with mo that the women of Steelton are doing their paft to al leviate the sufferings and help win this great war. "On August 22 an auxiliary was formed at Highspire and these faith ful women since that date have com pleted 48 pair of pajamas, 25 com fort kits and have in work 48 knit articles. Need More Workers "But even with all this splendid spirit and accomplishment, we are I not satisfied. We want more workers, land still more workers and then more workers, for the need is so great, so urgent, that it will take the support and effftrt of every man and woman in Steelton to even in a measure, meet the demand, and until we have the active interest and support of every person living in and about this borough, do not let us rest. "For I can assure you that I know tliat those who do not tuke an interest, do not do so bceanse tliey have not known die need. Never have I lived in a place where I have met with greater and more ready sympathy and unselfish desire to do their part than in this community of Steel ton." Good Financing The gross receipts of the chapter since its organization to October 1, were $8,827.85. Of this amount $6,- 636 was retained and $2,191 was re mitted to the . National Red Cross treasury in Washington. During the campaign to raise the allotment for the Red Cross hundred million dollar fund, $28,495.11 was subscribed. Of this amount $17,052.75 was pledged.

The truck which was constructed at a factory in Kochester, N. Y., is on its way to Washington, where It will undergo a critical inspection by ex perts connected with the War Depart ment.
