The school children of Heath Springs have proven themselves just as progressive, patriotic and generous as the grown-ups of the town, who have long ago established a reputation of always being among the first to respond to all calls of the town, county or nation. On last Monday morning the Lancaster- chapter torhnnl nn.-i n i7nru vicUo/l lYotith ! Springs in the interest of the JuniorRed Cross. On the next day. Tuesday. the school had raised the entire membership fee of 25 cents for every pupil enrolled, and had mailed the check in to Lancaster. This makes n 100 per cent enrollment for Heath Springs. The Lancaster Central School, the first county school to complete its Junior Red Cross, has 100 per cent record. In fact, the amount raised exceeds by $4 the 2 5 cent per member due. The boys and girls have fitted up a supply room in the school where materials and finished articles will be stored.
