MEETING OF LIBERTY ITHE RED CROSS
LOAN COMMITTEE
DISTRICT CHAIRMAN MR. RUD-
LAND ADDRESSED COMMIT*
TEEMEN TUESDAY MORNING.
The machinery that is to bring
abeut the successful prosecution of
the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign in
Dooly has been set in motion and for
the next few weeks its constant and
unremitting grind will be heard above
all the other wheels of progress that
are burning in the county, for this in
deed is the biggest financial project
Dooly has ever undertaken.
The presence of a large majority of
the committeemen at the meeting was
further proof of the patriotic loyalty
that exists among these leaders of the
various communities they represented
for it is they who have led their
communities to victory in the under
takings that have previously been
made for financing the war.
The meeting was directed by Mr.
Rudland, the district field agent who
in a business-like manner outlined
the plan of campaign, calling atten
tion briefly to methods that have
been tried and proved successful and
pointing out the duties of the various
departments of the organization, in
sisting that every individual member
of the committee assume his share of
the responsibility which would insure
the successful campaign.
The pard index system was adopted

NEEDS MECHANICS
MEN AND WOMEN ARE WANTED
—DOOLY SHOULD HELP TO
FILL THIS NEED.
The Department of Personnel of
the American Red Cross has just re
ceived a requisition from the French
Commission asking for a number of
truck drivers, mechanics, skilled
machinists, ignition and lighting ex
perts and trained garage managers.
This is an urgent need and one
which must be met despite ail ob
stacles. The ability of the applicant
and his physical condition must be
considered as well as his status as
determined by the draft law. Even
before an application is considered
for foreign service a preliminary in
quiry and examination will I be con
ducted by the Mechanical Section of
the department to determine whether
or not the applicant possesses the
necessary qualifications.
The draft regulations will make it
imperative that women be also re
cruited for this work, many being
qualified by Red Cross Courses as
expert truck drivers, but the me
chanists^ Mechanics and garage man
agers are to be recruited from the
various industries dealing with auto
mobile maiufr during and other,
bi nnches of mechanical industries.
Instruction in the specific line of

NEWS OFFICE.
In response to a recent appeal from
the Government for a complete sur
vey or census of all women who can
render nursing aid to civil and mili
tary populations of this country and
its allies, the Southern Division of
the American Red Cross, through its
recently appointed manager, Mr. Eu
gene Black, of Atlanta, has planned a
complete organization to procure
this information as soon as possible,
and the first step in this direction is
the appointment by Mr. Black of Mr.
Frank E. Calloway as Division Super
visor of the Nursing Survey. Under
the direction of Mr. Callaway and in
close cooperation with the Division
Bureau of Nursing and the Chapter
Committees already established, the
work of locating every woman qual
ified for nursing in any way will be
immediately begun in the Southern
Division. ,
The Department of Nursing of the
American Red Cross up t6 August,
1918, had transferred 13,000 nurses
to the Surgeon General of the army.
The quota required by January 1919,
being 25,000, sending an ever in
creasing number of nurses out of the
country for service overseas; and the
assigned a quota
with his ability. The leaders will' proposed near Chicago where the per*

adapting the conditions that exist in j will be finally examined and passed
their respective communities. upon.
Although the county's quota has
not yet been assigned a speculative
h estimate based on the banking re
sources and other relative conditions,
places it above $200,000.00 A defi
nite announcement will bo made in
; thq immediate future.
'ANOTHER LIFE OF
SERVICE ENDS
MRS. J. W. LYTLE, SR. SUCCUMBS
AFTER WEEKS OF SUFFERING.
WAS NOBLE CHRISTIAN WOM-
AN.
. It is the harvest time, and the Great
Reaper who so carefully watches the
field of life and as its fruits ripen to
their full fruition, gathers them one
by one into His Heavenly storehouse,
, has thrust His sickle into our own lit
tle portion of this great field with
marked frequency during the past
few weeks. Each time He has taken
•f the choicest fruits of the field, gol
den in maturity, beautiful illustra
tions of the rich yield that faithful
cultivation will bring.
Two splendid old people have boon
called from Vienna recently and now
another has gone to a rich reward.
Mrs. J. W. Lytle, Sr., passed away
yesterday morning at the home of her
daughter. Mrs. J. J. Cooper, in this
cityf at the age of 68, several weeks
of painful illness having preceded her
death.
Few women leave behind them
l record of more faithful service than
Mrs. Lytle. Connecting herself with
the Baptist church early in life, her
pre-eminent purpose has been to ren
der acceptable service as a Christian,
whrever she has lived she has been
prominently identified with church
work and since coming to Vienna she
has been one of the most faithful at
tendants and workers in the local
•hureh. For many years she was'hon-
•red with the leadership of the Wom-
n’s Missionary Society, and has also
jTsJjjoae valuable work as a teacher in
flu Sunday School.
Mext to her Christian service, the
wtork of her life that stands out in
staking relief above all other is her
service as a mother. In the perfor
mance of this doty she was ever faith
ful and in proof of this her children
i>-‘ sow rise up and call Her “blessed.’
She was loyal to her friends and char
itable to the helpless and weak, her
life was Indeed a benediction.
The deceased wjf) was born in Me*
con county, was Miss Maggie Smith
prior to her marriage to Mr. J. W. Ly
tle of the same county who preceded
her to the grave thirty-four ycani ago.
_ Striving her are thro* daughters,
Mrs. Joe Psge and Hn. Will Page of j
' Byromvifie, and Mrs. J. J. Cooper of,
The period of training will be not
less than two weeks and not more
than four, possibly varying by reason
of the necessities of shipping ' space
and theu rgency of the demands', for
the foreign commissions. ,
v It is planned to put men into uni.
forms sufficiently different‘from The
United States uniform to avoid crit
icism. The daily program for men
in the instruction camps will be based
on military regime and men serving
in this work may feel that they are in
direct line of wnr service to the A1
lied nations.
Compensation: It is believed that
it will be possible to recruit many
men for this service who by reasons
of draft exemptions either by age or
for some other reason, are not eligi
ble for active military service, and it
is hoped that every possible help in
doing this will be rendered by all em
ployers of men.
Women, too, will be recruited wher
ever possible an the work of truck
drivers is adapted to them and in all
cases adequate compensation will be
given. In the case of the men en
rolled for this service this will be $40
per month and maintenance (half pay
during period of training). Men with
dependents, whether or not married,
will be paid in addition allowances
equal to time provided for enlisted
men in the army. Women with de
pendents will receive additional com
pensatlon equal to that paid men
witout wives but with other depend
enta.
Applicants will pay their own ex
penses for traveling to Chicago but
this will be refunded upon their ar
rival in Chicago and the presentation
of proper vouchers to Section Head
quarters. It is decided that the rate
for such traveling expenses should
not be in excess of a sum necessary
to cover railroad transportation by
the shortest route, not including Pull
man accomodations except where the
journey is of sufficient length' to
make it necessary to provide sleep
ing accomodations for not less than
two nights, while incidental expen
ses will not bo granted in excess of
two dollars per day. This provision,
however, will enable ail applicants to
reach Chicago without cost to them
selves.

den, it will bo remembered was wound
cd in the engagement on the 28th of
July and reports from other eources
arc to the effect that he was deport
ing himself with gallant heroism when
to injury was sustained. The letter
to Mrs. Lumsden stated that he would
be in New Yqrk only a few days prior
to his transfer to the hospital at
Washington or Atlanta. It is proba
ble that he is only temporarily re
turned for treatment and convales
cence, it being the practice of tho gov

sons to return injured men to' this

are required for recuperation. An

the necessity for economizing, for

not be too strongly emphasized. But
it may not prove altogether an ensy
matter to collect the names of all the
