RED CROSS DRIVE GOES OVER TOP
BIG DAY PLANNED FOR SATURDAY
Parade, Speakers Carnival Play Day and Farewell to the
Draft Boys all Planned For Saturday

The Red Cross drive so far ha.
proved huge success. Up to las
night over $4,000 had been taken ir
on the drive here in Williston and re-
ports from the surrounding towns o1
the county show that they have al
gone over the top. This sum for Will
liston does not include the money
raised by the ladies on the sale OF
peanuts and popcorn and the dances
that have been held. So far the ladies
have raised over 5000.
Play and Dance
A home talent play and dance
will be held tonight by the ladies of
the Red Cross. The play promises to
be good one and everyone is urged
to attend. The dance will be held
after the play and a large crowd is
expected.
Tag Day
The ladies have planned a tag day
for tomorrow and Saturday and with
the large crowd that is expected
here for the various functions that
are being held these two day there is
no reason why large sum cannot be
raised. The ladies are to be compli-
mented for the splendid work that
they are doing on the drive.
Carnival and Parade
Saturday will be the banner day
for Williston and every minute of the
day will be taken up with some kind
Of entertainment. With the play day
exercises in the afternoon and their
parade many visitors from the out
side will attend for these events.
In the evening the program will
open by huge parade by the Red
Cross. Headed by the Williston band
and followed by the Home Guards,
Ladies of the Red Cross, Boy Scouts,
Junior League and many other inter-
esting- attractions too numerous to
mention the parade promises to be
me of the best ever held in Willis
on. Right after the parade the crowd

School days are closing for another
class of Williston's young people this
week. That is high school days and
though many of them will 60 on to
higher institutions Of learning they
will never again know the school days
of home or the pleasures OF boyhood
and girlhood in the "home school,"
The class is one of the largest ever
graduated from our schools there be-
ing twenty eight members. They are
a group of earnest, happy young peo-
ple who have done much during their
term to bring credit to their school.
The exercises for the week have
been arranged so that the entire COM
munity can enjoy them.
Class Day Exercises
The Glass Day Exercises OF the
High School were given last night IN
the Armory. Class Day is becoming
to mean more and more everywhere
than it ever has, it meaning. the So
cial time of the Seniors together. The
Armory was filled, with large num-
Der standing. 1t was estimated that
between 1900 and 1900 people were
present to enjoy the exercises. Last
wear the Class Day exercises were
held in the School Auditorium with
about 500 present. The increased num-
Der present shows the growing in
terest of the community in the Class
Dav entertainment. The two part
program opened at $3.50 with "Amer.
lea, My Country" by the High School
Chorus. Following the opening song
the Class History was given in dia-
lopue form with Wava Amsbaugh and
Louise Pasonault as speakers. The

WEsTBERG A. CANDIDATE

Oscar E. Westberg is a candidate
for the Office Of county treasurer, Mr.
WestEerg had decided not to run CIV.
ing to his wife's health but since her
death his many friends have urged
him to run again. The other can
didates for the office have notified
Mr.. Westberg that they would with
draw and he has decided to run. The
withdrawal of the other candidates
will we believe give the nomination
to Mr.. Westberg without opposition.
He has made a very capable officer
and is entitled to the second term.
