A call for more funds is again facing the local members and meeting was held during the past week to devise and decide some ways and means to provide the necessary funds A benefit picture show will be given in the near future to raise some money The general public cannot be urged or reminded too much of their duty to the Red Cross and it is hoped Morenci will do her part as has always been done in the past. In spite of the general strike con ditions the public school buildings. are undergoing a thorough overhauling and renovating in preparation for the opening of school on Tuesday, Septem Der 4th. In a week the many school teachers will again be coming in and the same old conditions prevail as of former years, where will they find rooms. Although many people have left Morenci, empty houses can not be found and rooms are scarce. A provision for the teachers has been much discussed but no definite action has ever been taken. A beautiful new flag was thrown to the brezes this week from the tall flag pole on the school grounds.
