White Cross Guild Report Highlights Relief Efforts
A February 16 meeting at Cooperative Hall saw John Hannon preside as the White Cross Guild reviewed its year ending 1926 finances showing 396 spent on relief. The guild distributed clothing and shoes and formed a clothes gathering bureau twelve years ago. Speakers praised the Guild’s work with the Poor Department and defended it amid publicity about Maynard. The relief committee, newly named during the current situation, includes Hannon, Miss Alice Ni, Frank McCarron and Phil. Dues collection in the past two months exceeded previous levels.
