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.
Schuler, chairman of volunteer
services for the chapter and Mrs.
Fred Rankin, executive secre
tary of the chapter.
