SELL 23,57O SEALSAT
ZEMBO TEMPLE EVENT
Merchants Join in Campaign to
Raise Funds For Red
Cross Work

In all 2S,57O Red Cross Christmas
seals were sold last evening by tho
twenty-four pretty Red Cross nurses
at the big zembo Band and Patrol
benefit concert and drill in Chestnut
Street Auditorium.
Real. biting wintry weather had no
apprecIaDie effect on the attendance,
for long before the band struck up the
opening selection, the great hall was
filed.
zembo Band and Patrol demonstra-
uons are always color spectacles and
last evenings trooping of the forty-siX
Zouave-clad men in the drilling squad
and the gayer scarlet anG goId uni
forms of the band added an especially
brilliant color touch that was set off by
the white caps and gowns and GRIM
son crosses of the nurses. While the
uniforms of the patrol suggested in a
way the far-tiung battle lines of the
allied armies of Europe, and the white
clad nurses emphasized the thought
there were Just two other more or less
realistic touches that recalled the war
time idea Up on the stage a big
khaki field hospital tent flying the Red
Cross flag had been pitched. And the
band played that popular cir of Eng
lishmen along the Ypres-'"Tis Long
Way to Tipperary."
In addition to the band concert and
drill a couple of vocal selections by
lO-year-old Harry Etter, Jr., accom-
panied by Professor Alfred c. Kusch-
wa, were features of the program.
Governor John X. Tener was guest of
honor and had a place on the platform
with Chairman John Fox Weiss and
other members of the committee Dur
ing the evening both the Governor
and Mr.. Weiss gave brief talks on the
RPn NNrnGE fNai ierVN ife 60
reaching effects in State and city, and
of the purposes to which the proceeds
of the annual seal campaign are ap-
piled
Director c. b. Shope and Captain
Frank II. Hoy. Jr., leader and COM
mandcr, respectively, of the band and
patrol, never had their men in better
form, and music and evolutions at
tracted rounds of applause. Special
movements effected by the patrol in
cluded the arranging of the men into
human letters that spelled "Tener,''
Red Cross" and "Zembo"
Seventy-two storekeepers and other
businessmen of Harrisburg have en-
listed in the Merchant Day" move
ment of the Red Cross Christmas seal
campaign, which opened yesterday,
and between $4,000 and $1,000 of the
Huletide stamps have been disposed of
through this channel
The plan is simple. No one who
figures in the campaign is expected to
sell the seals; he merely buys a lot
and paStes one upon each package that
goes out of his store or Office on the
day set apart for his particular line of
business
The merchants day end of the cam
paign is being handled by Edward
Manser, who is assisted by some thirty
or forty Boy Scouts of the city. The
