impossible to have accomplished
so much: County Commissioner
Hartford Jenkins. Randolph Mille
C. E. Wilkins, W. R. Kesselus, ,
S. Holme, the City of Bastrop
Billy Maynard, and all others who
have given of their time and
effoits, and who have contributed
money and plants.
The committee would also ap
preciate any people who are deal-
ing grass out of their yards, tak
ing it down and helping to sod
the park. They also have need of
yellow jasmine shrubs to com
plete their landscape pian.

Mrs. Paul F. Grove, Sr,
Washington, D. C., recently
came undisputed champion afghan
knitter of the United States when
she completed her 104th afghan
in four years. These warm wool
coverings were given to the Red
Cross for distribution to hospital-
ized servicemen. Mrs Grove, whose
achievement was noted in a wire
news dispatch all over the country
is herself an amputee since 1941
Red Cross records of Volunteer
Service.^ are filled with accounts
of women like Mrs. Grove. To
people who think Americans ar<
hardheaded materialists, those
file?? would be a revelation. Lust
year, for example, these volun
teers worked 11,900.000 hours, the
equivalent of 5,721 full-time paid
employees working 40-hour weeks.
These people were doing vital job-
entrusted to the Red Cross by
Congress through the organiza-
tion's charter. They weren't on
any payroll, they hud no con-
tracts. they were free to walk off
the job any time they chos<- -
but they didn't. By giving their
time and service they saved the
American public a large -um ot
money, the money that would
otherwise have had to be paid in
salaries to 5,721 worker-, becau.-e
the job had to be done.
The 11,900,000 hours of recorded
service represent merely the time
spent on the job by 220,000 certi-
fied, Red Cross volunteer^. Other
from the Board of Governors of
the organization on down spent
additional thousands of volun-
teer hours in administrative work.
The nine Volunteer Services
for wHch Red Cross workers a*e
specially trained and certified
make use of almost every skill
and talent conceivable. The Pro-
duction and Supply Service, whi'h
utilize- talent- like Mrs. Grove's,
supplies necessary articles not pro-
vided for in the budgets of ho p
tals, clinics, and other public in-
stitutions. The Motor Service
transports supplies and people to
places they cannot reach through
ordinary transportation. The well-
known Gray I-a*lbring ch< < r
and personal ervice to ho--pita!
patients, including those in f t !
hospitals. The Staff Aide keep
the wheels going by -taffing of-
fices of the Red < ro*.- aiid other
charitable institutions and he pi-
tals. The Entertainment and In
struct ion Service giver par tie or
provides instruction for ho-pital?.

community enterprises where th<

and Skill Service doe- similar

craft- to help pa tediou hour

what they wish for their family
group, then the food will be spread
on tables, and every one will
