RED CROSS WEEK
President Wilson Urges People of the United
States to Raise 500, OO0, 900 War Fund for
the American Red Cross. South Cardinals
Share is 100000.

It is an immense sum which the people of the United States
are asked TO subscribe as a war fund for the American BED
Cross-$1OO,OO0OOO This is nearly seven times as much as
the initial appropriation voted by the Confederate Congress
for war PURPOSES. But when tho war of the Confederacy be-
Gan the belief was general that it would be a short, easy, blood
less and inexpensive conflict. The immensely of the work
which the American Red Cross must do from now on in the
present war is realized. 1t is realized also that the work can
fee which is very great. ,
To understand why the American Red Gross needs so much
money # must be remembered that it has a work to do for our
Allies as we'll as for the great army OF American soldiers ana
sailors now being modified for service in the wal against
Germany. It will only be a few months until we have an army
Of a million men and a navy of a hundred and fifty thousand
men. 1t is the task of the Red Gross to care Tor these men
when they are sick and wounded. The Red Cross must care
also for the distressed of other countries. 1t must aid IN com
batting tuberculosis which has become prevalent in France,
as result of trench warfare. It must look after the homeless
in the fifteen hundred towns and villages of France, which
have been laid waste. It must lend its aid to afflicted Russia,
where on a line of a thousand miles there are only 6'OOO am
balances, as against $4,000 on the French front OF four hun
dred miles. All it's resources will be taxed, no matter how gen.
erous the response of the American people to the appeal now
being made.
1925, as cred Cross Week. He has designated some OF
the foremost business and professional men in the United
States to lead in the campaign for the $lOO,OO0OOO wal fund
which the Red Cross needs. South Carolina is called upon to
subscribe at least 100000 to this fund. Pubhc-spr1ted men
in every county have been asked to organize for the raising OF
the money. The Red Cross organization of the City of Char
lesion has already pledged itself to raise $4,000 as Charles
toms share. It is hoped that every man, woman and child in
South Carolina will try to have some part IN this great and
noble movement. Announcement of the movements success
cannot fail to send a thrill throughout all the Allied countries.

Y. M. c. A. NOTE S.

| Nis " ~. wv D.
The greatest activity in the "Y"
is the employment department. Many
calls each day are answered for
men and men wanted. The bureau
had many calls in answer to the
Little Willow Irrigation dam adysr-
tisement There has seemed to be
plenty of men during the lull but
now that fruit picking has begun
! in earnest it Will be wise to be
prompt in securing men There is
la tendancy not to hire boys under
10 years of age and any one who
lcan use some good boys might do
wen to leave their order at the "Y".
The older boys game room is clos
led by the recent ordinance passed by
the city council, and Mr.. Newman IS
not certain as to what course TO
take in supplying evening recrea-
ton for the young men who used
to drop in for a quiet game of bill
lizards. Mr.. Newman has letters
from five Mayors of cities in Ore
gon and Idaho and he finds none
except Payette but what exempts
NJ. c. As from taxation Of games or
or regarding restrictions as to young
men playing. Y. NJ. C. AS through
out the world have tables. and many
! churches use them for the recreation
of men, young men.
One of the most prominent minis
tiers of Idaho say that they are
fine games and at least two pas
tors have played on the local Y. NJ.
c. A. tables. The young men feel
it is too bad to have this fine meth
of of recreation taken away from
them
OF the parents of the older boys.
Mr.. Newman canvassed many of
them and OF those who were regu-
lar donators to the Y. N. C. A.
they were in favor Of the move and
Mr.. Newman worked many weeks
finding out the sentiment Of the
fathers and mothers.
One individual Mr.. Newman picks
alexis as taking the stand that they
should be put out of Y. NJ. C. A.
states that he would give many doll
lars if his boy had not been led
away by the Y. NJ. c. A, and I'M
till last spring none of his family
had a membership in the association
for at least two years. Mr.. New
man thinks this is an unjust state
ment and furthermore the boy in
question is a boy without a bad habit
as far as any one knows. This man
in question seldom spends even two
minutes in the Y. NJ. c. A. and some
times weeks pass without his be-
ing known in the building.
Mr.. Newman sees no justice in let
ting worthless carnival spread its
canvas with a picture of naked wo-
men before the eyes of our boys
and girls and then even an innocent,
purely scientific, harmless game
like billiards being eliminated.
