RED CROSS DOTNGS
( = * y = !, y X = y x i: y !; !:

Owing to unfounded and persistent
rumors being circulated regarding sal
aries being paid those interested in
Red Cross work, in Salem, and as such
canards can do much injury to the work
of the chapter formed here, for the
benefit of those not Informed, the mem
bership at large, and those contribut.
ing, | wish to state most emphatically
that these reports are untrue, and dis
torted as to facts.
Owing to the excessive red tape and
details incidental to the organization
of an A. X. G. chapter, the executive
board found it expedient and necessary
to engage competent person quail
fled to attend to the innumerablc
items, and details incidental thereto,
and to be on duty at headquarters dur
ing specified hours. Surely no fair
minded person could expect such work
to be done gratuitously? They there
fore engaged the services of an able
assistant at very meager amount FOR
such time as necessity demanded, and
this is the only one receiving any pay
whatsoever.
Were it not for the big hearted gem
erous and useful helpers interested in
this cause, giving their time and con
tributing their services, automobiles
and money, some spending days ana
nights working for the one purpose, and
that in the interest of humanity it
would appear that this should be an
inspiration to those misinformed and
who are misrepresenting or making mis-
statements.
With this organized helpfulness ana
self sacrifice only the highest praise
should be given instead of criticism,
and unjust criticism, too. No true Am
erican should assume or take the lib
erty to criticize without due and just
Foundation. Though ones circumstances
may not permit them to contribute in
money, ones help with good word is
needed Being that the A. R. G. is the
only volunteer agency for relief COM
missioned by the government, | trust
that nothing will be placed in the way
of this agency which is doing so much
for the alienation of suffering both
locally and abroad, and also trust that
this statement will be the means of cor
recting any statements regarding any
high salaried officers.

Faulty Advertising
Holds Up Street Work

In order to facilitate the correct turn
ing of corners by automobilists, the city
council, at short meeting Saturday
night, authorized Street Commissioner
Low to paint circular spot in the cen
ter Of seven street intersections in the
business district. The object is to give
the drivers aid in turning the corners,
so they will not cut the corner and so
violate the city traffic ordinances.
On account of the fact that the mo-
tices for Improvement on six different
streets and alleys in the city were ad-
vertised in the newspapers only 10 times
instead of II as is required, the coun-
cll adopted resolutions to re-advertise
the notices of intention to improve At
the special meeting Friday night, the
advertising done previously was rescind-
ed. On account Of this error the work
on the streets was adopted.
The streets on which the work is held
up are as follows: Washington, from
FIR to Liberty; alley in block AT; Fifth,
from d to Highland avenue; Portland
road; Leslie, from Commercial to Lib
erty; Church, from Mill creek to D
street; d street, from Oaks addition to
Fifth street.

WAR AND WEATHER

On Top of This the Eastern
Teams in BOlh Leagues Are
Shutting the West Out
By II. C. Hamilton

New York, May l4-Ou top Of war
and weather, the walloping east is now
threatening baseball The Giants and
Red Sox are making runaway affair
Of the two big league races in the car
ly spring going, wueu /, is generally
recognized the west must break INTO
the world series again II this classic rs
TO be kept alive.
The New Workers have uuroiled a per
.eentage of .72s and the Cubs, in see.
end place, are ploddiHg along at .0s4
today. The Red Sox are even more pre-
dominant, with a record of ia against
the Yankees .57l.
War conditions are bad for haSeballi
weather conditions are kicking the
grand old game. But world series be
tween these two eastern teams would
do more than either OF these agencies
to lower popularity.
Not since the DAYS Of the old Cubs
and Pirates has a western club had a
crack at world S peunaut. Western
fans have sworn off paying railroad
fare to the east for their world series
games.
The White Sox gave promise and the
Cardinals and Cubs have been wander
ing around the top of the percentage
list, but an actual slant at the happen
ings really gives them little chance at
championship unless they produce
more than exhibited to date.

GRoToN FERRY TROUBLE
 IN EARLY DAYS,
Miss carIkins Says It is One of the Standing Embarrassments of the Town.

It is TO new experience for New London to have trouble over the lease
 of the .erry between that place and
 Groton. That ferry has heen making | trouble at periods ever since it was | inaugurated. Miss Caulklns in her
 history of New London, written over | information in regard to the ferry, l which is particularly interesting at | this time:
 The ferry to Groton has been one of the standing endorsements of the | town. The disposition of 1t from the earliest times has been by leases, vary ing in terms from one year tc 50 years, end in rent from two or three pounds
 to- to s2eo per annum; nnaI r., The H ancient ferry street, a position of manifest advan tage when a saliboat was used. as the high ground Of VQinthrop's Neck served swell of the waves. It was compara- lively easy. even in rugged weather, to round the point and run into the smooth waters of the cove:
 wharf to the ferry wharf in Groton,
 as measured on the ice witt; chain in February 1741, was 145 rods. In 17al the sum of $500 was raised by subs ,ription and a wharf built at the end of the parade. which was ac- cepted by the town as the "only" ferry
 wharf. The width of the river from this point to the opposite shore. as measured on rhe ice in January. 1921,
 was IA rods, 16 rods sh ort of half a mile. The wharf was rebuilt in 1915.
 In 1921 a horse or team >ferryboat commenced running. This was an im- provement of sculling, rowing and sails but it was often out of repair and in some respects inconvenient and offen- sivc.
 In 1S49 an arrangement was made by the town with Marc M. Comstock by which he was to have a lease of the ferry for 10 years (to Feb. 1, 1S59), on condition of his running a ferryboat propelled by steam. Under this lease a steamboat was provided 70 feet long, 75 feet wide and of A horsepower which furnished the public with every requisite accommodation
 The river is seldom frozen opposite the town, or much below the point of Winthrop's Neck. Such an event oc- CUTS. however. once in F, IS or 20
