It was said » 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. Milledgeville is fortunate in ‘hat it has but the one agency for TEACHERS ADDED G. S. LFACULTY W Mete Affi Six Mm t* Fmkr Ur Ter* Befiuar ■ SvpttaW.
