On four mornings each
week, Monduy through Thurs
day, one of the Grey ladles of
the Red Cross Is assigned to
the group meeting room In
the library where a number
of members are assembled
from 10 to 11 o'clock lo hear
the news read.
Usually, the Grey ladles
rcgulurly assigned to this hour
arc selected because of their
effectual und satisfactory
reading personalities, coupled
with real reading ability and
eagerness to serve.
Included In this category of
Red Cross readers are Mrs.
Mel Krows; .Mrs. Marie Reh
llng; Mrs. Jennie Creager and
Mrs. Ralph Barnes. Mrs. Dits
worth and Mrs. Wattenberg
also arc regular readers.
Recently added to the group
was Mrs. Frankie Burton of
Red Cross and well-known on
TV.
Thcso Grey ladies take
turns at the duty. And each
morning at 10 o'clock, the
men o the domiciliary who
cunnot read for themselves
wait for the assigned reader
anxiously.
When the Grey lady ar
rives, she brings to them
something which they other
wise would not have. She
brings them the news and the
current events and sometimes
reads to them articles or
stories in magazines.
She reads to them for one
hour. These men, due to poor
eyesight and various other
causes, are unable to read.
Some have good eyes but
have been shocked into a sort
of withdrawal from the world.
These disabled men cannot
bear to peruse bald printed
statements in print.
Current news cannot be
borne unless there is an inter
mediary to read the stark
facts of events and happen
ings of the present world.
Others have poor vision and
find it painful to piece to
gether the printed word.
So far as could be deter
mined there is no Illiteracy.

fled police called off a search
Wednesday for 21-month-old

vanced in learning. They sim
ply cannot read daily newspa
pers or other publications
dealing with current events,
unless someone they trust will
read and interpret for them.
These men have been deep
ly hurt and in many instances
irretrievably shocked. But
each of them is deeply grate
ful for the reading service
they receive.
This is a service of the
American Red Cross. It is per
sonal to the members and
they get a great deal of good
out of it.

the management of Henry C.
