Published by The Dalles High School Students, June edition, page 38 WAR DEPARTMENT RED CROSS CONFERENCE A Red Cross conference was held in the High school auditorium May 20 and 21. This wonderful organization has proven its worth during this World Was as is shown by its vast increase in membership. At the beginning of the War the entire membership was 200,000, but has now increased to 30,000,000. Since the immediate war work has ceased to some extent, it has been decided to give the time of the organization to child welfare work and public nursing where there is a vast field in which to operate. Some of the principal speakers at this conference held here were Earl Kilpatrick, assistant manager of the Northwest division which includes Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska; Burt Adams, director of organization and membership; Miss Grittinger, director of public health, and Mr. Turne, auditor. --Assistant Editor.
