SECURE 1897
XMAS MEMBERS
Canvassers Told That Much
Work Must Be Done to Get
the 10000 Memberships

With a report of 1887 Christmas
members secured during three days
work last week, the Red Cross drive
for 10000 members took on new
life this morning when committee
members Started out in their terri
tories all anxious to contribute their
share to the, colossal number this
chapter has set out to get.
With favorable weather and the
sidewalks cleared of the snow en-
abling the women to do the canvass
ing, conditions looked more favor
able for reaching the quota to-day
Many of the canvaSsers did not work
last week on account of the inclem-
ent weather
"Steelton has a big job before
her." a member of the committee
said to-day; ut will mean hard work
and lots of it. This chapter has not
fallen short on anything so far and
it is not likely members will allow
this record to be broken" she said.
With a record of 100 per cent. to
it's credit, the rail shop of the local
steel plant this morning turned in
the first report. Although a very
small department, it has set an eX-
ample for other departments to fol-
low, Mrs. Quincy Bent, chairman OF
the chapter, said.
Booths We're placed in McCurdy' S
drug store, Front street; post office,
and Steel company store. Members
of the committee were assigned to
take charge of these headquarters.
Residents who have Joined are re-
quested to place the Red Cross serv-
ice flags presented them by the can
vassers in the windows in order to
eliminate the repetition of calls by
solicitors. If the flags are seen in the
windows the canvassers do not call
at the house.
Ministers of the local churches
yesterday appealed to churchgoers
to join the Red Cross during the
drive

just BE Dignihed

DEAlk MlDD Al.
l am twenty-nine- and employed
by manufacturing concern as office
manager. earning "A salary of $35 per
week.
The vice-president of this con-
Germ is q widower (about forty-five
years old and has no children). He
is contantly tellinE me that 1 am
the incest young lady he ever met
and goes as far as telling me of his
love (but never mentions marriage
to me).
AS a rule I never pay any atten-
tion to what he Is saying, but here
of late my girls in the office have
noticed his actions and have come
to me with little stories telling me
how much gossip is going around
the office. ANXIOUS.
Just 90 on conducting yourself
with quiet dignity. Attend to your
work and don't lay any stress on
anything your employer says. You
might even tell him that you have
discovered that the office force is
gossiping about you and that you
feel sure he will not want to cause
you to be subjected to criticism
When man tells q girl that he loves
her and does not back up that dec
laration with the genuine and honest
eXression of a desire to have her for
his wife. the girl had better keep a
level head and discount his ardor
and the value thereof. Were [ in
your place 1 should either make it
impossible for the man to drag his
semi-lovemaking into office hours or
tell him with quiet dignity that he
was placing me in a difficult situa-
ton. Your own attitude may shame
the Office out of its foolish and un-
worthy gossip.

by Postmaster NJ. M. Cusack to
take care of the unprecedented
Christmas mail. Postmaster Cusack
said that the mail this year is much
larger than the mail at the same
time last year.
To-day fifteen sacks of parcel post
mail for boys in the camps left the

Advice to the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Is 1t Not Generosity?

DEAR MISS FAlRFAN:
I am eighteen. and dearly in love
with a man two years my senior.
My love is reciprocated. He is
sailor and will leave for the other
side in about a month.
He has told me how much he
loves me, but has said nothing defin-
ite. Now, Miss Fairfax, l would
gladly wait ten years for him II he
asked me to / am not pretty, but
attractive. and have plenty of ad-
mirers, but do not care for them.
If L even mention any other name
while he is with me he is jealous.
Not that he says anything to me, but
before he goes. Please advise me.
| Fairfax
Do you think 1 ought to go about
with other men? 1 know he cares
for me and l love INN. but do you
think it is fair? Why should he feel
hurt when l go out with any one
else if he doesn't care? Won't you
please advise me? I 90 not care for
any one else's company. l have
! thought that perhaps it is because
he is going away he may not think
| it is fair to ask me to wait. He may
think that he may not come back
| and so will not say anything. Miss
Fairfax, why should he rob me of
the happiness that could be mine
before he goes Please advise me.
! DOLLY.
Your sailor boy is young; he is
going on grave mission, he may be
separated from you Tor years. Don't
| you think it may be pure generosity
on his part that keeps him from ask
! ing you to wait Tor him? Even if
you are not engaged, don't you think
it is worth while TO forget your other
admirers and devote yourself to him
while yet he is here in America +?
You might talk to MIN just as You
have spoken to me, but think the
thing to do is to make few little
sacrifices for the sake of this friend
ship without demanding any defin-
ite assurance in return. Just give
him your friendship and don't have
so many selfish worries about wheth-
er one thing or the other is right
and fair.
