XI JANUARY, 1932 No. 1 SERVICE As a lark at sunrise Soars on happy wings, So love finds expression In songs that service sings. Service is not labor, It is love set free just to put in motion The Real in you and me. I The key-note of this term's work is-Service--and Number 12 is always ready to help. Ink and Inklings is glad to submit the following letter received by our school in recognition of our cooperation with the Red Cross: 1: Miss Sarah McCullagh, P. S. No. 12, Manhattan, Madison and Jackson Streets, New York City. My dear Miss McCullagh: The New York Chapter of the American Red Cross, and particularly the Production Department, wishes to thank you, the teachers and the children of Public School No. 12 for the beautifully made garments sent to us. You may be interested in knowing just what disposition we make of these garments. All Junior Red Cross garments, which are not given out by the Home Service Department of the Red Cross to the families of needy ex-service men, are stored in our Warehouse where they are ready for immediate ship- ment in case of any disaster. During the drought disaster in this country last year, the garments made at your school were among the first which we shipped into that area. It is very difficult for me to express my gratitude, and all that 1 feel, to the teachers and children for their wonderful work. Kindly extend my personal thanks as well as those of the Chapter for their interest and co- operation. Very sincerely yours, ANNA M. WELLS, fMrs. Edward H1 Wellsj Chairman, Coimniltre an Production. Our school did another piece of work in the Red Cross Held which gave us all a great deal of pleasure. One hundred large red stockings were filled with numerous articles for the use and enjoyment of the wounded veterans in hospitals. Among the goodies donated were boxes of figs, dates and candy. The others consisted of decks of playing cards, socks, joke books, tooth brushes, cigarettes and stationery. The individual packages were wrapped in gay Christ- mas paper and tied with silver and gold ribbons. Those who could not afford the price of any of these articles gave a few cents which they saved for that purpose. Everyone lent a helping hand in this enjoyable work. GERTRUD1-: UNGER, 8BC1 1
