Notes From County
Superintendent

Red Cross War Council, announces the
launching of Junior Red Cross open
70 AL scnool children in the country.
The new organization hops to become
channell for patriotic service and
interest to the 22,OO0,000 boys and
girls of school age in the United
States.
Membership in the Junior Red Cross
is to be by schools. Whenever there
has been placed in the local school
fund an amount equal to rs cts. for
every pupil, the school becomes
school auxiliary cf the Red Cross,
and is entitled to display special Red
Cross Banner. At the same time every
pupil becomes Junior Member, and
is entitled to wear the membership
button.
The school fund can be raised by the
school, or collected by subscription,
and the schools are to be associated
with the local chapters of the Red
Cross through teachers committee
Of the chapter.
The school fund viii .e used for the
puchase of materials which the child
rem will make up into Red Cross sup
plies, and for other uses in which the
children will have a personal share.
/, No part of it is. to go for chapter or
general expenses.
Membership in the Junior Red Cross
will be developed by states. Division
managers will appoint membership
committees and school activities COM
mittce3 for each state. The member
ship committee stimulates interest and
raises funds for the School Supply
Fund. 1t will be composed of some of
the most influential people devoted
to educational atFairs.
! The school activities committee will
be made up of vocational teachers and
other school officials. Under its
direction patterns of articles to be
made, and other instructions for use in
/ the vocational classrooms, will be pre-
pared and sent to all schools.
This plan has been developed by
President McCraken of Vassar, who
believes it will be of educational and
patriotic value for the children.
"The work Of the Red Cross will
teach service for others and unselfish
giving: it will stimulate interest in our
national government and its policies
during the war; and it will afford
useful release for the youthful energy
which is stimulated by the violent and
morbid aspects of war conditions, and
if undirected, may cause under wrong
conditions great increase of juvenile
delinquency and crime"
Consolidation failed to carry at the
election in Dana district, Sept. 7th.
Six elections have been held this
year and all failed to favor consolida-
ton. Owing to the fact that twenty
one new one-room schools will be
built this fall, it is evident that con-
solidation of schools in our county is
some distance in the future.

Hungarian Orchestra is Enthusiastic

Audience

Whenever Sam Schildkret may
choose to bring his Hungarian music
ians to Kennewick again he will un-
doubtedly be assured of a packed
house. At his initial appearance here
Saturday evening he delighted large
audience in the High school gymnasi-
UNI.
Every number of the two hours pro-
gram was enthusiastically received.
One of the pleasant features of the
program was that there were no "be-
tween numbers" There was some
thing doing every minute. When the
orchestra wasn't playing Schildkret
was entertaining the audience with his
clever explanations and introductions.
The program was sufficiently varied TO
suit every taste. 1t wasn't over any
body's head or beneath anybody's dig

most successful musical numbers ever
given here. ..a -
