cANTATA MAKES PROGRESS.

The chorus for ssThe Golden Lee
gend," the Sullivan cantata planned
for the Christmas season, is making
commendable progress according to
late reports from its director, w. Wes-
ley LaViolette. The soloists have been
selected and are more than pleased with
their respective roles. The chorus,
catching the spirit of the score, is dis
playing both ability and spirit and
bids fair to surpass any similar aggre-
cation ever gathered in Kenosha. No
little part of the advancement made to
date is due to the acatchy" music of
the operetta. It's melodies are visit
fully fascinating and its variations so
novel as to make its numbers irresisti-
bic. The east is enthusiastic about
the prospects for the concert and is,
according Mr.. LaViolette, the most
ready cooperation. The next rehear-
sal of the cantata viii be held on Tues
day evening at 7:45 in the usual as
sembly room of the high school build
ing. A few places are still open in the
chorus and will be filed by candidates
who may apply on Tuesday evening.
People with good voices are earnestly
requested to volunteer their services
in return for excellent instruction
under Mr.. LaViolette

w. N. Fitzgerald, United States fuel
administrator for the central division,
has notified w. w. Hammond and
Frank Isermann of their appointment
as deputy fuel administrators for Keno
sha county. The dispatches further
state that they will be expected to CO.
operate with Administrators Walter

can to prevent the coke, coal and wood
famine now threatening the United
States. The letter emphasizes the need
of conservation in these materials and
lays special stress on their Importance
in the manufacture of munitions and
war supplies in general. The assistant
administrators are consequently urged
to give the problem their immediate
attention and to devote the full
strength of their mental and moral in
fuence to an early solution of the diff
fcult. The past records of Mr.. Ham
mond and Mr.. Isermann assure eff
fciency in their governmental posi-
tions and promise able assistance for
Administrator Burke.

A DRIVE FOR DRESSINGS

Mrs. Virginia G, Ames, the Red Cross
Instructor, sent up to Kenosha to give
instruction to the two classes, has sub
mitted her report to the Division Head
quarters. Mrs. Ames speaks highly of
the interest and devotion to the work
shown by the women and has made a
report to the Chairman giving each
student a percentage rating.
The next course is for each person
to serve ~ hours in the Volunteer
Rooms; after this service card will
be issued and with each card the can
and apron with Red Crosses may be
worn.
To become an Instructor the course
on Surgical Dressings must be taken.
then after Is hours practice one NAV
become an Instructor if all examina-
lions are satisfactorily passed. Becom-
ing an Instructor means the Chapter
has requested one SO to do. It is not
for the individual to propose.
Mrs. Ames in her report speaks very
highly of the earnest devotion shown
by Mrs Arthur Fisher in the work and
the Committee on Instruction for wo-
men approaching the faithful work
asked Mrs. Fisher to accept the Chair
manship OF Surgical Dressings, to take
the course as instructor and to super
intend this work generally. We are
pleased to announce that Mrs. Fisher
has accepted the office and just as soon
as she has qualified, instruction will
be given the other classes that have
been formed
Commencing Tuesday, the rooms will
be opened to the classes already in
structed and volunteer workers who
have done this work before are strongly
urged to come forward as Headquarters
are sending out strong appeals for
surgical bandages. On account Of the
severe fighting there is a scarcity of
dressings and in some cases soldiers are
suffering untold agony. The nature of
some of the wounds makes it necessary
at times to use on one soldier complete
box of dressings.
1t is the duty of every woman in
Kenosha who has had this experience
to answer this appeal. Kenosha has
made wonderful record in many ways
of patriotic nature. Let us add an
other laurel to our record by concen-
trating on this work and commence i'm
mediately to assist in sending out a
bountiful supply of these dressings so
badly needed. The Chapter has gone
on record by promising the Division
Headquarters that frequent shipments
will be made as long as the war lasts
1t is noble work and our promise
must be kept.

Rev. Corey Exalts Martin Luther in a
Sermon Concentrating the Rise
of The Reformation
Martin Luther spans the current of
Protestant life as the Colossus once
spanned the protected harbor of Rhodes.
Immoyable, prodigious, a marvel Of the
world, he still sways the destinies of
men and directs the course of history.
Proclaiming freedom of worship, he was
the father of democracy and conse-
quently the forerunner Of William Penn
and Roger Williams, the founders of
American republicanism and world toll
Grafton" Celebrating on this basic
statement, Rev. !. w. Corey preached
a noteworthy sermon at the Baptist
Church on Sunday morning as an ap-
propriate celebration of the 400th an
niversary of the rise of the Reforma-
tion. With an array of facts at once
inspiring and convincing he presented
the life and work Of Martin Luther in
such way as to show it's tremendous
significance in his own age and subse-
quent eras of history. The address was
both interesting and masterful and con-
firmed the high esteem in which Rev.
Corey has always been held by his con-
gregation and friends.
