DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, lilts

BERNE ANSWERS (Continued from Page One) willing to work. In fact~they have never liefore failed to do their quota, as the Decatur branch well knows. Although there are not such a large number of workers in Berne, there have been a number of Herne, workers who spent an average of three days a week at the Red Cross work rooms, and thus got out Berne's quotas on schedule time.

“Furthermore, those in charge at Decatur know that so well had the Berne workers done their work that headquarters had discontinued inspecting the work because they knew they could rely on the Berne yorkers. “The Berne women feel deeply hurt to think that instead of investigating earlier, the county chairman never investigated the matter until the garments were due, then tinding the quo ta untouched through no fault of theirs, permitted them to be mercilessly scored in a county publication holding them up in scorn before the public. “It certainly is a fine way of expressing appreciation for the work the Berne workers have done. Were the women in any way to blame, they would be perfectly willing to take the censure, but since they are in no way to blame, they feel that they have been grossly’ wronged by Decatur. “Every movement that has been taken up in Adams county bas siways been loyally sconded and assisted by Berne. Berne workers have ever proven themselves zealous to do their share. The basis in which this quota had been made, was on the war collections, and since Berne's portion was one-fourth of the quota, it shows that Berne had not been backward heretofore. Decatur’s quota was about half and Berne feels that in a comparison she need not apologize one whit. Note that Berne’s quota was about half of Decatur’s, then com pare Berne and Decatur in any other way—in population for instance. “In every Red Cross campaign Berne went over the top goriously—if we mistake not. every bit as soon as Decatur. The Berne workers have no apology to make. If there is anyapologizing due. wi it to the public to decide from where it should Come.”
