THE RED CROSS U N

1t is to be understood that there is no connection
between the 500, OOO, 900 fund now be,ng raised for the
Red Cross and the payments which are being made and
have been made as regular contributions for MAIN
tenance. The local maintenance fund, which includes
the weekly or monthly payments being made by our cii-
zens, the receipts from the voluntary luxury tax, and
ment of the small expenses of keeping open the local
Red Cross headquarters and for the purchase of mate
rial to be used by local workers in the making Of gar
nieEts, surgical dressings, and SO forth. All of the MAIN
tenance fund is expended in this manner. .
The special fund now. being raised goes, as did the
similar fund raised a year ago, direct to the general
Headquarters Of the society at Washington, where it is
appropriated to the various general relief works of the
society. 1t was the existence Of this fund, for, instance,
dertaken by the Red Gross when the thousands of in
destitute from their homes after the defeat of the Italian
armies which had penetrated into the Corzo. When that
need arose the first requisite was prompt action in SUD-
plying food and shelter for those who had been com pelled
to fly from their homes with nothing but the clothing in
which they stood. No government on earth was able
to act promptly enough to prevent those people from dy-
ing like flies in a frost. The Red .Cro./ was the only in
stitution that could act, and it did act promptly and
effectively. 1t was in the relief of those destitute sufferers
1t is in order that the society may be equipped to meet
other sudden emergencies that the present fund is being
raised, and the society has a legitimate claim on some
portion OF the funds Of every one Of our people for this
purpose

THE DAY
(By Juliet Wilbor Tompkins of the
yigilantcS.)

1t will come some day-do you real
ize it? On some one glorious day the
enemy will cry "Kamrad!" in good
earnest, and there will be peace.
Picture that day. The crowds in
the streets are going about their bust
ness. the Red Cross rooms are hum
ming with work. the thousand war
activities are grinding at full speed,
every mother and father is facing the
every loyal citizen is at his post Of
service; and suddenly--the news!
The crowded n turn white:
all up and down their length they
have blossomed white with the open
newspapers that have magically
sprung into everyone's outstretched
hands. Everybody in the long, stop
ped stream of humanity holds a ews
ape or reads his neighbours; every
body knows everybody. shares with
everybody; strange hands clasp,
strange eyes meeting, overflow; and
there is just n first thought, not
~boys-those good boys-they can
home!" And the second
thought will be. We've done it!
We've put it through" y
And then, standing there, they be-
gin to sing, the men with barred
heads; they send up such a song as
the skies have never heard since time
was-"Glory, glory. hallelujah!"-
Praise God. from whom all blessings
fowl" The'melting pot is a slow pro-
cess-that song will melt all into
blood brothers at the first chord. Oh,
how they will sing, those standing
men and wonen! And then with one
impulse they will surge into the
churches, MO the cathedrals-for
when man has been granted the SUI
preme boon. he must fall on his
knees, whether he knows God or not.
And no one who rises up from that
silence will ever lose its mighty vi
bration.
That day is not a vision; it is COM
ing as surely as tomorrow. Then will
0 have it tomorrow? Or will you
put 1t off for four more bleeding
years? 1t is in your hands. Every
effort. every dollar you give to serv-
ice, shortens the waiting. If all gave
all they could, the day could not hold
back another hour. When you buy
the thing you most want, you are not
conscious of sacrifice in paying the
sum demanded. Fix your eyes on the
day-the.tday when the will
suddenly blossom white with the
news of peace-and you will want
that with SO burning an urgency that
you will come running with its price.

CEDAR BLOCK PAVEMENT

The death of the late r. Mcdonnell, who did the
first paving work in Grand Forks, has recalled to a num-
Der of people that early pavement. and in the course Of
letting of contracts for the old cedar block pavement a
serious mistake was made. and a considerable quantity
Of money was squandered. The Herald believes that this
is a mistake.
ability of the people then to pay taxes was not what it
has since become. If it had been feasible to pave the
streets at that time in a more durable manner a saving
would undoubtedly have been effected. But our people
initial expense. Grave doubts existed in many minds as
to the practicability of paving at all The question, as it
presented itself in practical form, was not between cedar
block pavement and some other and more costly kind.
but between cedar block and none at all. 1t seemed nee
essary that we should get out Of the mud in some way.
and the cedar block route was the only one open.
AS to the pavement itself, when it was torn up it
did not owe the people of Grand Forks a dollar. On the
basis of the experience of other cities the life Of cedar
block pavement was estimated at from eight to ten years.
The original Grand Forks pavement lasted twelve years.
and it would have been disable for another two or three
years, although it was pretty we'll worn out. The esti-
mate OF durability had been exceeded, and the pavement
cost something less than a dollar a square yard.
The old pavement was by no means ideal. But it
was the best that cold be obtained at the time and under
the circumstances, and it served it's purpose we'll at the
price.
