The organization of all the schools
of the county as school Auxiliaries and
the enlisting of all school children as
members of the Red Cross will awak-
en- interest among the men and women
of the county and induce them to be-
come members;
Schools secure the right to become
auxiliaries by paying Is cents for each
pupil or pledge of school to engage in
mean that each pupil must pay 25
cents, but means that the school as a
whole must raise this sum and may
do so by having an entertainment or
in any other manner desired.
Each auxiliary keeps all moneys
raised by it and uses them in the pur-
chasing of supplies for use in their
Red Cross activities.
During the last week more than
5000 worth of supplies were shipped
out of Fulton county by the Red Cross
This does not mean that Wauseon fur
nished these supplies, but does mean
that the whole county contributed to
this excellent record.
Branches are sending in for mater
ials and the purchasing Committee

$780, worth of materials which will be
made up and shipped to Red Cross
headquarters; when made up it
