The work of organization of the
Junior Red Cross is progressing satisfactorily.
The chapter school com/nittee
has completed the organization
of nine county schools. The follojcbig
schools are the ones which
have enrolled: Lancaster Central
Graded School, Heath Springs. Riverside,
Cane Creek, Stoneboro, Pleas

ctnv inn, r^i^in, duiuiu uuu .-iiiuim u.
The Union school has sent in a request
for organization. Mesdatnes
Moore, Hughes. John Poag and
Springs will visit Union Friday afnoon.
Mrs. John Poag is sending
out to every school in the county offers
for assistance in the matter of
Junior Auxiliaries to all interested
in the work. Mrs. T. M. Hughes, as
chairman of the co-operation committee,
will direct all marking of
refugee garments and other sewing.
Hats off to Heath Springs! 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

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.
The surgical dressing supervisor,
Miss Margaret Moore, earnestly requests
additional volunteers in the
work room. There has been a marked
falling off in attendance recently

?and this at a time when there is w'
the utmost need for surgical sup- Tl
plies. With a number of I^ancaster j t'1
boys already at the front, and many
more in training camps, how cau thej,M
women sit idly by? A great British ev
General who has returned from the
front says: "The army flphts as the vv<
nation thinks." Surely we can never
overcome the Germans until we
overcome the apathy of our own 1,1
civilian population. There were on- Nv
ly 4 4 compresses made on Monday. st
On Wednesday morninp 144 dressinps
were completed. Miss Nannie ar
Hill Moore was chairman of the
day. Ki
