2 1 New Corps Reviews i Month's Activities At First Meeting Women of the new community service c o r p s . of the Jackson county Red Cross, which has been in operation but a few weeks, took stock of the new program at a meeting held Thursday. As each worker gave her report enthusiasm mounted and at the close of the meeting there was no doubt in the minds of those present that the new unit was filling a definite need of the community. The new corps is the only one of its kind in the nation. . The workers, less than a dozen in number and who are organ ized as a special type of Gray T aHv hnuo wnrkpH with the visually handicapped, with in valid children and adults and have ' performed such tasks as reading, mending, writing let ters, teaching crafts and. games to those unable to leave their beds and homes; they have shop- Ded for the bund and provided transportation for the ill and handicapped. These special Gray Ladies worked 90 hours during the month of April, making 43 visits in all. One worker calls once or twice a week to help a 31-year-old man who is totally blind and confined to his bed with arthri tis. Another visits two invalid girls, taking them toys and gifts, playing games with them and sitting with them while the mothers shop or do necessary errands. Still another visits a small boy confined to his bed with rheumatic fever and who is being supplied with fly tying materials, books and games, The corps takes only cases re ferred by an established agency or by a private physician. In ad dition to the efforts of the vol unteer corps members, the chairman, Mrs. S. M. Tuttle. reported that directors of the Southern Oregon Sales. Inc., gave money which was u.-ed to purchase a wheel chair for rheumatic fever patients, and that the Colony club also gave a substantial sum of money which is being used to purchase materials and articles needed for handicraft and hobby sup plies for the patients. A report of the past month's work shows that in addition to the ordinary tasks of reading, writing and supplying of recrea tion and hobby material, the corps members have been re sponsible for one new case being reported to the Oregon Commis sion for the blind, have aided the visually handicapped in meeting others with the same handicap and have had the op portunity of encouraging the special talent of one visually handicapped person by display ing art work and poems. Attending the meeting Thurs day were Mrs. Tuttle, at whose home the meeting was held, Mrs. Max Peirce, the co-chairman of the corps, Mrs. Chester W. Guches, Mrs. Arthur C. Sanders, Mrs. John E. Gribble. Mrs. Lila B. Thomas, Mrs. M. Dale New ton. Mrs. Edward Burgess, corps members, as well as Mrs. I. E.
