tempt to promote soclability among
the members, Rev. and Mrs. Ira S
Nom and all the congregation having
gathered together for good time, and
hey had it. There were recitations,
aging and ether forms of entertain
ment and many kinds of good things to
eat were brought by the members.
When the feast was concluded, four
cakes were found untouched, and these
were sold to the highest bidders, the
four cakes bringing S305, which was
turned over to the Grantsville Red
Cross.
Mrs. Eva Bevans entertained the
Fortnightly Club in a most delightful
manner on Thursday evening. Sewing

The Red Cross workers will meet
each Friday at Miss Gertrude Homes
residence, for sewing and knitting,
and it is hoped that all interested per-
sons will observe this date in the fu-
ture, as it will obviate the necessity Of
notifying them each week in person.
Belgian and French garments are at
present under construction, with the
eyer present knitting and such sewing
as is sent in from time to time from the
Oakland chapter. Those present last
week for sewing were, Mesdames H.
P. Miller, C. S. Zeller, j. 0. Getty, H.
C. Bong, C. H. Bill, L. H. Diefen-
bach, S. R. Getty, Misses Gertie Hone,
Carrie Dorsey, Vida Getty and Lulu
Warwick. Persons finding it more con-
venient to work at home may, if they
desire, take the garments home after
receiving instructions from the ladies
in charge and be given a finished gar
ment as model. 1t is earnestly hoped
that none of US will neglect this oppor-
tunity to do our bit in winning the war,
and the woven of Grantsville, who are
ever ready in any righteous cause,
will willingly give one day week for
the boys at the front. Miss Lulu War
nick, one of the most active rural work
ers, has handed in twenty. seven more
members for the Red Cross.
On Friday night thirty large army
trucks camped at the school grounds.
About seventy-tiye boys in khaki were
with the motors. On Saturday morn
ing thirty more, with the same number
of men came down the National Pike,
stopping in the village long enough to
7erve their own meals from the mess
lent. 1t was an inspiring sight, and
to this village, to see these busy, well
trained boys in khaki traversing almost
endless miles under orders, without be-
ing Esure. of their destination. This
small army came from Marion, Indiana,
starting about week ago, and were
enroute, presumably, to Baltimore, but
there is little doubt that both boys anC
mo or tluks will be transported tc
France in the near future.
