Mr.. ,Baudry, at Vacherie, has offer
ed his hall free for any entertainment
in aid of the Red Cross. It is. pro-
posed to accept his offer and repeat
the style show SO successfully pre-
scented in Donaldsonville recently
Father Smith, of Jefferson College,
and Mother Ballantine, of the Sacred
Heart Convent, have offered to CO.
operate with us in any way They
will place contribution boxes for the
Red Cross on rally day. :.
Father Barber, of st. James, and
Father Gardes, of Vacherie, have
preached explanatory sermons on the
Red Cross work, asking assistance.
A committee of ladies consisting of
Mesdames Pujos, Arrnitage, Bentley
and Broussard went to Dutchtown and
Gonzales Wednesday in the interest
of the Red Cross. Gonzales expects
to organize a branch shortly.
Since national headquarters retains
rs cents of the membership fee,
New Orleans receives only the re-
naming quarter, and is unable to fur-
nish enough material for us to WORK
on. Contributions are most accept
able and sought after. vs..
The children of the Donaldsonville
High School brought the first offering
of SSa.338 Thursday. More. is expected
from those who forgot to bring their.
mite on that day. 4=s

We are all working with an aim
to accomplish the most, well done.
Our boys will not suffer from mis-
directed energy as an English Tomr
mie did. He was given pair OF new
| knitted socks on the morning OF a
long march One foot began to pain
him severely Marching became a
torture, but he limped painfully on.
AS. soon as possible he removed his
shoe and found a huge blister. Seek
ing to discover the cause he found a
note crumpledain the foot of his sock!
