ETHEL MARY OAKLAND
MAKES MANY FRIENDS

Child Actress Enjoys New York.
Little Ethelmary Oakland, the
seyen-year-old child actress had the
best time ever in New York. Little
Ethelmary became a very warm
friend Of Jess Willard, who Ethel
mary says, is the biggest fighter in
the world. Little Ethelmary en-
joyed seeing the horses that had
socks on their ankles. She said
they were nice. Ethelmary saw
Uncle Sam on White Horse. It
had wings on 1t and someone said
it was an angel horse.
Little Ethelmary Oakland is sew
en- years and has been on the stage
three years. She is the grand
daughter of Mrs. Oakland, who
lives here in Richmond. She will be
seen at one of the local theatres
soon with Jack Pickford in the
Dummy"
Little Ethelmary has kitten two
months old which cost $500, and
she named it Billy Boy" Some
good friend gave her this kitten.
She feeds 1t four times a day and
it eats raw eggs.
This marvellous little actress was
born in Indiana. but has been prac-
tically adopted by the east, and es-
pecially New York City, where she
has hosts of friends, and was chos-
en- from four thousand other chill
dren, as being the most beautiful
and talented. But all this honor
has in no way spoiled little Ethel.
mary, and she still writes very low
ing little letters back to her grand.

VALE SCHOOL
HAS A BANQUET

Last Friday afternoon after re-
cess, the GAS and Obs Of Vale
school had a banquet. This was
the final meeting of the Sixth
Grade club which had met every
other Friday afternoon all during
the year, when special programs
were arranged by different ones Of
the boys and girls and every one
enjoyed a good time. Dues OF
cent a week had been paid regular
ly by the members, and so a part
OF this fund was spent for the
desert of the banquet, which was
ice cream cones. The feast was
held out on the grass, and every
one had a good time. OF course
bad luck comes everywhere, even
at a banquet. One Of the boys was
SO unfortunate as to drop his cher
ished cone. and smash 1t all to
pieces. But every cloud has it's
silver lining, and this time 1t came
in the form Of an icecream sale
which was going on at the school
to raise money for the French or
phan fund, and SO he simply bought
three more cones to make up.
It might be added that this sale
Of ice cream cones was so success
full that four dollars and thirty
cents was cleared. Altogether, SO
much money was donated both by
patrons Of the school and by the
school childron fhom co1vaQ that
Vaile school has had enough to
adopt two Of the fatherless French
children.

WHITEWATER HAS NO
SUMMER SESSION

For the first time in many years,
Whitewater school will have no
summer session. This is q great
disappointment to many Of the boys
and girls who really enjoyed the
sewing and cooking and manual
training work, as well as the stu
dies themselves which they had
last summer. However, the play
grounds will be open, and probably
Mr.. Ramsey will also allow them to
have a few Victrola concerts a
week, as they used to have.

BEGINS
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS

School Is done, school is done,
Toss up hats and have run"
That IL the tune that the Rich
mond boys and girls can be singing
today, because school h now al
over for them until next September.
Yesterday when there were 90
many little groups Of twos and
threes going home from school with
their report cards and big piles OF
books, little scraps. Of conversation
would float back that sounded very
familiar. SAY what did you get
in Geography ?" "How many days
we're you absent?' You were!
Oh / didn't miss that much. and
! had the measles, too"
"Who are you going " have for
. teacher next year," Jaw. she's
good She'll let you make up
rhymes about her and everything,
and she wont get mad" &
How many things did you have
in the art exhibit?'
Are you glad schools out? l
am"
But the joke of it is that as soon
as those very boys and girls got
their books home, most of them i'm
mediately began to play schools, or
look over their books again. or start
to paint, or something as nearly
like school as possible. And when
next fall comes, almost all of them
will be as glad that school Is begin
ming as they are glad that it is clos
ing now.

mond and made a speech from his
train. OF course we could not I'M
derstand him for he spoke the
French language. We thought he
was a wonderful man. Our school
let out to see him. The Richmond
people gave him a basket of red,
white and blue flowers. Three
French people here in Richmond
talked to him. When the train
pulled out the people shouted, "Vive
la Joffre!" must not forget to say
the Richmond City band played
Star Spangled Banner" and some
other pieces. Dear Odette, will you
please read this to your brothers

WARNER SCHOOL
ADOPTS FRENCH GIRL

Our Good Government League"
met for the last time this year
Tuesday morning. The children

little French girl and each room in
the building has a box In which the

this will be very nice to get letters
from a little girl so far away and
1t will be also interesting to know
how she lives and dresses.-Alice

Many Children Send Letters to New French Friends

So many boys and girls have written letters to
our new Junior friends, Odette and her brothers,
that We have copied few OF them in our paper
that all the Junior readers may enjoy them
also But all the original letters have been sent
over to Earham where they are being translated
into French and then will be forwarded at once
to Odette.
Contributions also have been coming in to
the fund for Odette and her brothers, and many
of the schools have been taking up collections
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-06-02

also for adopting other fatherless French chill
dren, SO that almost all the boys and girls Of
Richmond have been showing their sympathy
for their suffering French friends both by shar-
ing their money. and sending in their letters.
But since school is out and you cannot give your
money there any more, from now on you can
give your part from time to time through the
Junior fund.- because Odette and her brothers will
not need food for one day but for day after day.
and week after week, all the time
