The Blakely Woman’s Club enjoy
ed a timely and well-planned pro
gram on South America, which was
presented l>y Mrs. E. P. Whitehead
at the regular meeting of the Blake
ly Woman’s Club on Friday, Novem
ber 16th. Mrs. R. C. Singletary, Jr.,
reviewed a most interesting book,
“Neighbors to the South,” by Delia
Geotz, which gave the geographical
and cultural background of South
America. Mrs. Richard Grist re
viewed “Good Neighbors,” by Hu
bert Herring. Humorous as well as
factual, the book cleverly preesnted
the history of this country's past
diplomatic relations with Latin
America and the problems which
must yet be solved if we are to
achieve hemispheric solidarity. Mrs.
Edward Sealy sang “Pale Hands 1
Love” and “The Sunshine of Your
Smile.” Mrs. J. A. Hammaek gave
a short talk on “How Women Can
Plan to Buy War Bonds.”

BORROWING —
Some people who find it necessary or advantag
eous to borrow money feel a certain hesitancy or em
barrassment in applying to a bank for a loan.
This should not be. We hire money just as a ga
rage hires out an automobile or a landlord rents a
room. You should feel no more hesitancy in applying
to us for a loan than you would in going to a store to
make a purchase. Both are business transactions.
If you are entitled by credit standards to the
accommodation you seek, we are just as anxious to
lend you the money as you are to borrow it.

We finished the sixth week of
work on our quotas of Surgical
Dressings Friday. This was the first
week we failed to mgke the required
hours, but we hope this was because
many people did not know that our
material had arrived. W T ell, it is
here and in larger quantities than
ever before. So it is up to you wom
en to put our quota over. Come out
and do your bit. No amuont of la
bor is too little, none will be too
great.
We are now making a 2x2-inch
sponge used for drying incisions,
temporary drains and as a prelimi
nary dressing following operations.
We have 30,000 of these cute (that
is what the workers call them when
they first see them) little things and
we need every available woman to
rush this quota to completion so
that it can be placed at the disposal
of our armed forces where it is so
urgently needed.
It is an honor to our chapter that
we have been selected by the Surg
eon General of the United^ States to
make these dressings. Not every
chapter is eligible or can meet the
specifications. Our Red Cross lead
ers accepted because they knew you
would not fail. They knew that the
patriotism of ESirly county women
would rise to the occasion. They
knew that our war front would not
be held up because you failed in
your duty. This cannot happen to
us here, but it is up to you women
and that means YOU, reader. No
chosen few can do it. It will take
the efforts and wilingness of all.
We will be looking for you. And
you, Junior Red Cross, where is your
spirit? —REPORTER.
