American Red Cross, Ojai Chapter 1942-1946

Physical Description: Scrapbook paper is buckled due to glue used to adhere newspaper clippings.

Physical Location: Scrapbooks are oversized and stored without enclosures at the MVC Research Library

Scope and Contents

The scrapbooks in this series document articles from newspapers in Ventura County and beyond. They include articles from newspapers printed in San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. The articles date from December 1941 through April 1946 and are focused on Red Cross programs and medical advancements during World War II. Each scrapbook has an explanatory document taped on the inside cover written by Elmer L Breckner, the publicity chairmen of the Ojai Red Cross Chapter in 1967. According to these documents, there are 7 Red Cross Publicity Materials scrapbooks. Volumes 2 and 6 were not donated to the museum. As of 1991, they were located at the Ojai Museum.

The majority of Red Cross volunteers featured in the articles are white women. The programs featured in the headlines are the War Inquiry Service, mercy ships (supplies for American POWs in Japan), black out training, medical training, aid plans for population centers, blood drives, toy drives for children of naval officers, book drives, sewing meetings (bandage folding and surgical dressings), nutrition classes, Junior First Aid, dances for returned soldiers/social events, no interest loans, and Red Cross Motor Corps mounted units.

General

Newspaper headlines in these scrapbooks include racist, outdated, and harmful language often used during World War II to refer to individuals of Japanese descent. This language became derogatory in the U.S. after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and the internment of Japanese Americans in the United States due to Executive Order 9066, an executive order signed by president Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942.

Grand Army of the Republic

Biographical / Historical

A patriotic organization of American Civil War veterans who served in the Union forces, one of its purposes being the "defense of the late soldiery of the United States, morally, socially, and politically." Founded in Springfield, Illinois early in 1866, it reached its peak in membership (more than 400,000) in 1890; for a time it was a powerful political influence, aligning nearly always with Republican policy. In 1956 it was dissolved; its records went to the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., and its badges, flags, and official seal to the Smithsonian Institution

Pango Club: Ladies Auxiliary of Downtown Kiwanis Club

Physical Description: The wooden binding of the Pango scrapbook is broken. Needs to remain housed in enclosure.

Biographical / Historical

The Ladies Auxiliary of the Kiwanis Club of Ventura County was organized in 1927. Their name was later changed to the Pango Club due to restrictions on the use of the name "Kiwanis" set forth by the by-laws and constitution of Kiwanis International. The first meeting of the advisory board of the newly minted Pango Club was held on February 20, 1928 in the home of Marguerite Conklin. Katie Sue Ogilvie was voted in as chair, Louise Hedley as Secretary, Minnie Spafford as Vice President, Florence Cole as Treasurer. The purpose of the Pango Club was to "promote sociability and friendliness among its members".
