» special meeting of the local
Chapter of the American Red Cross
and Community Chest, called by the
Vice-Chairman, D. M. Rogers, and
held at the City Hall Friday morn
ing, July 5. the resignation of Geo
H. Tunnell, chairman, was acted up
on and accepted with regrets. Mr.
Tunnell was pralseo highly for the
unselfish and truly Christian ser
vice he had rendered Milledgeville
and Baldwin county during his ten
ure of office. As the result of his
leadership Milledgeville. through the
activities of the local Chapter, re
ceived State and National recogni
tion. As he goes out of office he has
the satisfaction of seeing the local
Chapter, to which he dedicated his
interest, on a firmer and u more
permanent basis than it has ever
been. The Chapter is fortunate in
that Mr. Tunnell is not completely
severing his connection with it, but
remains as a member of the govern
ing committee.
Mr. Otto Conn, who as Roll Call
Chairman, recently conducted
most successful drive for the local
agency, was elected to suceed to the
Chairmanship. Mr. Conn will bring
to the Chairmanship valiftd experi
ence and a sympathetic approach
without which the agency could not
succeed.
The agency belongs to Milledge-
ville and is doing for Milledgeville
and Baldwin county a work that is
without parallel among the social
agencies of the various counties of
the State. As effective as any . social
agency in the State, the local social
agency carries on the administration
of its work for a cost less than
any agency within the State
The effectiveness and the low
cost of administration on the part
of Focal agency are not generally
realized and in consequence the
agency does not receive the com
munity support that it should. To
bring the agency into closer relation
ship with the average citizen the
Central Committee selected three of
its number to serve as an Executive
Committee. The duty of this Com
mittee will be to assist the Chair
man in the administration of the
affairs of the lccaf Chapter and to
report back on its activities to the
Ccnfral Committee. Further 4 , this
Committee will receive complaints
from any citizen In regard to the
administration of affairs. Every
possible effort wiU be exhausted to
have these complaints acted upon.
