It was the first one organized in the county and also the first national organization that was perfected in the I ' nited States.

In the summer of 1918 the girls met every Tuesday and Friday afternoons of each week and made 377 4x4 compress and fifty 8 X 12 pads. Many of the girls also did much knitting. The fol- lowing articles were knitted and given to our boys who were then in service : nine sweaters, nine helmets, seven pairs wristlets, twenty- five pairs SOX, and five scarfs. There were also many articles knitted and sent through our branch, including four sweaters, five helmets, seventeen pairs sox, thirty-six wash cloths, nine medicine covers and thirty afghan blocks.
