RED CROSS MEETING 
IN MANCHESTER 
(Continued from page 32) 
with the work of preparing to care 
for the wounded. Of course the Red 
Cross will continue to render aid to 
all men anywhere, but it should be 
understood that the hundred million 
dollars to be raised in this campaign 
is intended primarily for our own 
soldiers and sailors. Red Cross re- 
- lief is more than Christian charity, it 
is a patriotic work, Only one gov- 
ernment does any Red Cross work 
officially, and that is France. But she 
does only a comparatively small 
amount. All other governments ex- 
pect their Red Cross organizations, 
supported by patriotic citizens, to do 
the relief work in war time. Only 
first aid is given by army surgeons at 
the front and the task of caring for 
the wounded man and nursing him 
back to health devolves upon the Red 
Cross. 
“Some people say we are not in the 
war yet and that there is no present 
need of funds. In Germany at the 
beginning of the war immediate relief 
was given the wounded by the Red 
Cross, while in France, as well as she 
was prepared, the suffering was great 
because of the lack of proper prepar- 
ation. Don’t let us make the mistake 
of unpreparedness. If we wait until 
the wounded begin to pour into the 
hospitals we will have waited too 
long. If we wait an hour past this 
week it will be too late and we will 
cause needless suffering among those 
brave men who are soon to face bul- 
lets for us.” 
Mr. Bixler suggested that everyone 
who bought liberty bonds give to the 
Red Cross the interest on the bonds 
for the course of the war. He 
thought that in this way Manchester’s 
quota might be easily reached, He 
made an appeal to the self interest of 
the contributors by calling attention 
to the close relation between the Red 
Cross work and the army and navy. 
“Tt is an integrel part of the military - 
organization and without it our arms 
may not prevail. And if they do not 
prevail, what will your property be 
worth?” 
William Nelson: of the Essex 
County committee said solicitation 
was not difficult at present as people 
had been prepared for the patriotic 
appeal of the Red Cross by the Lib- 
erty bond campaign. He urged a 
house to house canvass to raise funds.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 43 
CONVENTION OF CHEMISTS. 
Chemical engineers and manufac- 
turers from all over the United States 
will. gather‘in Boston on September 
10, II, 12, to participate in the fifty- 
fifth annual convention of the Amer- 
ican Chemical society. It is esti- 
mated that over a thousand will be 
present for the event, in spite of the 
fact that many will be compelled to re- 
main at home on account of war 
orders and the development of war 
time plans and experiments. It was 
intended that the convention would 
occupy the entire second week of 
September, but it has been deter- 
mined on account of the serious times 
and the mobilization of the militia 
during the month, that it will be the 
better to eliminate such features of 
a convention as the big banquet and 
other entertainments, excepting that 
a typical New England shore dinner 
will be given and a “snoker” will give 
the desirable touch of good-fellow- 
ship to the event. 
Instead of a gem, or even a flower, 
cast the gift of a loving thought into 
the heart of a friend—George Mac- 
donald. 
If you are good natured there is 
nothing you cannot say; if you are 
not good natured you cannot say any- 
thing—Henry Ward Beecher.
