A meeting of ladies was held yesterday afternoon, under the presidency of Mrs Molyneux. The meeting had been called for another purpose, but in consideration of the international crisis, the gathering devoted its attention to ways and means of assisting the Red Cross Society, and the wives and families of the men who have been called to the colours. The following announcement has been handed to us:-
In view of the critical situation, it is proposed to hold a special meeting of all those in Banbury and the neighbourhood interested in the Red Cross work and in the work of the Soldiers and Sailors Families Association, to be held in the Town Hall, Banbury on Tuesday August 11th at 2.30 pm.
