Speaking of criticism on war work,
few people here realize what our local
Red Cross has accomplished. AS a
cleaning house for the work of Grange
vile and surrounding country districts,
Grangeville has surpassed almost any
other district in the northwest her
size AS a community we should all
he duly puffed up. so when some slight
detail does not please you look at. the
sum total of results and keep still (;
fully 30 per cent of the people in our
country districts are patriotic. Possibly
five per cent are just naturally tight
wads and the remaining five per cent
need investigation. 1t is not right that
the patriotic 90 per cent should not
have the assistance and cooperat ton
particularly in the Red Cross activities
of the other 10 per cent. am speak
ing of the people who could afford to
participate in a financial way 1t is
going to he very hard for us to hold
the sentiment against these financial
Slackers within the bounds unless some
action is taken to make them see the
necessity for their cooperation in a
community way.
Knitting Club Grateful.
The Grangevile Knitting Club wish
to extend to Mrs. G. S. Stockton their
gratitude and thanks for the manner
in which she has conducted their af-
fairs in connection with the providing
warm and managing dances, etc. to
raise funds to purchase yarn for
