Vol. XV 
SOCIETY*NOTES 
Manchester has received its call to prepare! In an- 
ticipation of the demands which would be made upon it in 
the very likely event of war. the Manchester branch of the 
Essex County Chapter, American Red Cross, will hold 
a meeting in the Fire Engine house on School st., next 
Monday evening, April 2, at 8 o’clock. As far as pos- 
sible notices have been sent to every member of the Man- 
chester branch and all are urged to present and bring 
their friends. Members of the ‘Manchester Surgical 
Dressings committee and any others interested are in- 
vited. Sub-committees will be appointed and an organiza- 
tion perfected to carry on whatever work may fall to 
Manchester as its share’ The Manchester committee was 
recruited to a much higher numerical strength in propor- 
tion to its population than the majority of cities and towns 
in the country during the campaign last summer. Every 
member should be present next Monday evening to aid in 
planning the work which the committee will do.

Pay Director Charles W. Littlefield, U. S. Navy, has 
reported for duty at the Navy Yard, New York, in con- 
nection with the organization and disbursements of the 
Third Naval District Coast Defense Reserve. This very 
important detail will no doubt prevent Captain and Mrs. 
Littlefield coming to the North Shore this summer, as 
they have done for several years; they probably will con- 
tinue on at the Plaza, New York, where they make their 
permanent home.
