School Children Come
Forward With Their
Little Bit of Corn

School children attending West
Shore schools came forward wltf
their bit of corn to-day. The chill
dren brought to school the amount
they would otherwise thrown away
in the celebration of Halloween, as
they were asked to do by their teach
ers two weeks ago. The corn Will
be used for the benefit of the Red
Cross.
At Lemoyne in several of the
rooms the window sills are lined with
little bags of corn which the chill
dren. brought as their contribution.
Much corn was contributed by chill
dren at the Camp Hill schools this
morning.
In the other towns the children
did not understand the move thor
oughly and not much was brought
in. Teachers appealed to the chill
dren this afternoon and it is likely
they will come forward with their
little bit tomorrow.
The move of having children to
celebrate Halloween without throw
ing corn and vegetables and dam
aging property was started through
the school teachers by a prominent
resident of the West Shore.
