VOLUME EIGHTEEN VIENNA. GA., THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 26, 1918 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 aqd efch citizen of the county will be commensurable 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 • vice needed will be given and a place for this instruction has been THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS NURSES THE CALL IS TO EVERYONE EITHER TO RESPOND PERSON ALLY OR HELP GET SOMEONE WHO IS QUALIFIED TO RE SPOND. COMMITTEE WILL CALL FOR SAME OR SEND TO VIENNA 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* work out their own plan of campaign, jsonnel of this branch of the service 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. GET YOUR CONTRIBU TION FOR RELGIANS R. G. LUMSDEN IN U. S.
