VETERANS DO RED JROSSWORK ALLOTMENT OF 200 TONGUE DE- PRESSERS ARE MADE BY WAR RIORS OF THE 60s. a; Look no more with scorn or indif ference upon the whittler for he hath attained a new dignity. And the war which has wrought so many marvel ous Changes is responsible for this al so. It came about in this way. The Local* Red Cross chapter was called upon by Division Headquarters to furnish 2Q0 tongue depressers, and the sample submitted showed that this little article which has come to be an important part of the hospital equip ment should be made of white pine, so many inches long, so many wide and a certain thickness, rounded at the corners and smoothly finished. Surely a task for no other than an ac complished whittler. The Red Cross official who received the order being of an ingenuous turn of mind, forth with conceived of a clever plan by which to get this task accomplished. Vienna fortunately possesses several elderly gentlemen who enjoy the dis tinction* Of belonging to the retired leisur class, who spend considerable time lounging on the park benches. It was to these she turned and ap pointing Capt. Carnes captain of the job vested him with full authority to musteriiis'recruits for this bit of war work. - Needless to say the work was done properly and promptly. For those who took part in the perform ance, of the service were chiefly vet* brans of the 60s, men who fought as courageously perhaps, but under far different circumstances from those under which our men are fighting to day,. . This patriotic squad of whit- tiers seemed to find real pleasure in the accomplishment of the task assign ed them and surely it was no small service they performed for the chap ter for it would have been well nigh impossible to have gotten them made so satisfactorily any other way. Mak- tongue depressers apparently had .ISptMPjlMfaiUm the tongues of the workers for they spun piles ‘ of yarns and. told many lively tales as they whittled away on their job.
