Gust StaplesJI Carbon County's Red Cross Drive In Full Swing Workers Striving to Secure Greatest Enrollment in Chapter's History From Lansford to Big Creek, from White Haven to Lehigh Gap the people of Carbon county are enrolling in the annual membership drive of the American Red Cross, according to Dr. C. W. Wotrine.

Nesquehoning, chair man of the Carbon county chapter. Roll call workers in all of the com munities are under the direction of Emma Emanuel of Nesquehoning. The drive will come to a close November 30, when it is hoped that Carbon county will have the greatest enrollment in its history. Dr. Wotring has pointed out that many people think the Red Cross is for the most part a war time and disaster relief activity.

In the past year more than 20,000.000 was raised to help people throughout this war-torn world. The American Red Cross is today helping those in Great Britain whose homes have been destroyed by the bombs of the invader. Of even greater importance are such activi ties as disaster relief, assistance to men in the service and ex-service men and their families, life saving and first aid instruction, accident prevent tion. Junior Red Cross, etc. At pres ent when the armed forces of our country have been increased by hun dreds of thousands, the Red Cross will be called upon to assist thousands of boys and their families in numerous problems.

Last year the Carbon county chapter made 109 visits to the homes of Carbon county service and ex-service men to assist them in diffr cult situations that had arisen. Volunteer Red Cross workers last year in Carbon county made garments of all sorts ror tne war stricKen coun tries under the direction of Mrs. D. J. Pearsall of Mauch Chunk.

Hundreds of women in the county give an after noon or two every week for this war relief work. A large Dart of the income of the Red Cross in Carbon county is spent for home service to families in need. The report given at the annual meet ing of the Red cross snowecn lau articles of clothing, shoes, suits, dresses, etc. given to needy families; 68 undernourished children given milk at school; 44 school children furnished with glasses, and other charitable deeds.

The company pays $50,000 annually to 211 former employes, one man being pensioned since 1920. The statement: "In the face of heavy operating losses in recent years the Lehigh Navigation Coal Co. has stood by its policy of paying pensions' of many old and worthy employes. It continues as the only anthracite company providing pensions for hourly men. "At present the company is paying more than $4,200 monthly about $50,000 annually in pensions to some 211 former employes.

Nearly all of them were hourly or contract workers before retirement. "There is no formal plan or hard and fast rules about the pension. No contributions to a pension found are made by employes, the entire expense being assumed by the company. "Each case is considered on Its merits. The aim is to give aid to employes who have served long and faithfully when they reach the end of their productive years.

It is a tangible expression of appreciation from the company. "There is no age limit on employment at the Old Company. At the same time there are many cases in which it is to the advantage both to the company and the employe that the latter should retire, especially in view of the large number of young men who have never had a job. "It is an Interesting fact that 69 living pensioners had 50 or more years of service upon retirement. The average age of the pensioners when pensioned was 70 years.

Twenty-two of the pensioners have been receiving pensions for 10 or more years. The longest period of pension is that of John McGinley, Nesquehoning, who retired in 1920. The complete roll of the company's pensioners is given below. Each and every one, though no longer active on the job is regarded as a part of the Old Company family. "Lansford George Andrews, Con.
