     RED CROSS 
     
    
   
   
    
     Red Cross meetings were held during the first World War. The ladies 
     
     would gather in different homes throughout the community to sew shirts, 
     
     knit socks, mitts, etc. 
     
    
   
   
    
     During the year and especially at Christmas these ladies would make 
     
     up boxes to send to the soldiers. These parcels would contain cigarettes, 
     
     candy bars, gum, canned goods, socks, mitts and just abOut anything else 
     
     they could squeeze in—even a piece of cheese. However, no matches were 
     
     allowed. These boxes, which were all the same size, would be packed very 
     
     tightly. They were wrapped by sewing a piece of white cotton around them 
     
     and were addressed simply “To Boys”.
