Mass Meeting at
Eagle Hall Tuesday
* ' luna i'11111111(1***4 |)I(tIl9 oil
holding a mass-meeting at Eagle hall
on Tuesday evening next for the pur
pose of organizing a chapter or auxil
' iary in Cordova, and it Is the sincere
wish of those heading the movement
that the men and women of this com
munity will take an interest in the
organization and attend the meeting,
A more commendable step to take
by the residents here would be hard
to find, particularly under the pres
ent condition. It is the one organiza
tion which works for the real uplift
of mankind from misery and suffer
ing regardless of creed or nationality.
The sole aim of the organization is to
relieve suffering, help frail humanity.
Wherever there Is need the organiza
tion aims to reach. What a world
this would be to live In if the organi
zation could absorb every living be
ing.
The following detailed information
relative to the duties of a local organi
zation have been received:
Organizing a Chapter.
1. It is important to understand the
form of organization, principles and
activities of the Red Cross. Various
circulars of information will bo fur
nished which give detailed informa
tion about these.
Thorough, well considered organiza
tion is of more value to the society
than haste. The persons selected for
officers and an executive committee
should acquire an adequate knowledge
of the Red Cross and of the functions
of a chapter before — not after, the
chapter is formed.
2. The organization of a chapter
should be directly in charge of a com
mittee actively interested in the Red
Cross. One person cannot success
fully carry out the whole work of or
ganization. He can, however, arouse
others to the need of a chapter and
secure their participation.
The committee on organization must
be composed of persons of prominence
and public spirit, who have the con
fidence of the community. It should
represent all elements, Including busi
ness men and other men of large af
fairs. The Red Cross is not a wom
an's organization, nor a physicians’,
nor a nures,’ as is believed in various
places. Its work is sufficiently im
portant, varied and extensive to de
mand the voluntary service of the
ablest men and women of the com
munity.
3- The committee on organization
must obtain authority to form a chap
ter from the director of division in
which the proposed chapter is lo
cated. Blank petition forms will be
furnished for this purpose.
4. When authority has been granted
the committee on organization may
call a meeting for organization and
the election of officers and of an ex
ecutive committee. Official author!
zation to organize and elect officers
is issued by the proper director of di
vision.
The officers of a chapter are chair
man, vice-chairman, treasurer and sec
retary. Each chapter is required to
elect an executive committee. It is
usually advisable to have at least ten
members on this, including the chair
man, treasurer and secretary of the
chapter as ex-officio members of the
committee.
All officers and all members of the
executive committee and all members
of the chapter must be members of
the Red Cross.
The secretary, who carries on most
of the correspondence with national
ueanquariers ana Keeps the records
of members, the minutes of meetings,
etc., should have some facility for
such work and should be ready to give
it the necessary time and attention.
As the duties of the secretary, as
fixed by the central committee, are
of such a nature that they cannot be
divided between a corresponding and
a recording secretary, only one sec
retary can be recognized by national
headquarters.
For treasurer it is well to select
a man who has banking connections
and facilities for receiving money,
keeping accounts in good order and
making financial reports.
5. A certificate of organization and
election, for which a blank form will
be provided, must be sent to the di
rector of chapters through the chan
nel indicated on the same.
t!. If the organization of the pro
posed chapter is approved by the di
rector of chapters, the central com
mittee will give official recognition
to the new chapter, which thereby
becomes the local representative of the
American Red Cross within its juris
diction and has authority over all Red
Cross activities therein, subject to the
bylaws and regulations of the Red;
Cross and the direction of the proper
national officers.
7. Minutes of the meetings of or
ganization should be kept by a sec
retary of the committee on organiza
tion, and documents pertaining to the
same should be preserved and turned
over to the secretary of the chapter.
These are an important part of a chap
ter's records, useful in preventing mis
understanding and of historical value.
8. The name and jurisdiction of a
chapter must be approved by the di
rector of chapters. The name must
be geographical and indicative of the
chapter's location. The jurisdiction,
which must be a definite territory,
should be determined before authority
to organize is granted.
.9. If there exists in the community
a local committee on Red Cross nurs
ing service or an organization that
employs a nqrse of the Town and
Country Nursing Service, those who
organize the chapter should make ar
rangements with such organization for
reciprocal representation on their re
spective governing boards.
10. Membership in the society,
which involves no fixed obligation, al
though it implies loyalty to the Red
Cross and such help as the members
can give, is distinct from enrollment
in special forms of service, for in
stance. as the Nursing Service. It is
of six classes, all of which, except an
nual membership, include subscription
to the Red Cross Magazine. In other
respects' the privileges are the same.
Dues of life and patron members
are sent in full to Washington, where
they are placed in the endowment
fund, the income from which is in
tended primarily to be used for emer
gency relief work.

Subscribing. 2.00
Contributing . 5.00
Sustaining. 10.00
Life, one payment. 25.00
Patron, one payment .100.00
Members residing within the juris
diction of a chapter automatically be
come members of a chapter unless
they individually request exemption,
in which case they are enrolled as
members at large.
11. When a chapter has ben organ
ized its first object should be the se
curing of a large membership among
all elements of the population. The
director of membership extension and
the directors of divisions are always
prepared to advise and otherwise as
sist chapters in organization for the
effective building up of membership.
12. It is a policy of the Red Cross
not to enter a field of work already
occupied. The chapter is not to be
a local charitable agency. It is not
to give relief to Individuals except
after some disaster that is beyond the
resources of the other agencies of the
community, it is essential to have
f the food will of the pi llanthrople or
I sanitations of the com mnlty. When
'these understand thorr ishly the poli
cies of the Red Cross t ey are usually
anxious to have a chapter estab
lished.
