"America First" Progri am

The america First pr ogram
given under the direction of the So
cial committee in the crowde d Au-
ditorium last Friday evening was a
pronounced success. Many have
said that it was the best program of
the kind the school has given for a
long time. The playlet given by the
9Th, 9th, 7th and 9Th grades If the
training school and the tableap TX ard
colonial dancing by upper class stud
ents were unusually fine. To Miss
Berg and Miss Fleming is due the
credit for the excellence d t the
grade performance. Misses Schlag-
er and Mcmillan deserve nstinted
praise for planning and man aging
the tableaux and dances. TIL e mu-
steal numbers and readings were
ably given. Every member of the
school heartily commends the giving
of such free of charge progrd ms as
these. May we have more of them!

High School Quint
Has Great Record

The local High School basket ball
quint finished the seasons schedule
last week by defeating the strong
Clear Lake High School quint by the
score of "a to II and incidentally
adding another win to their string
of straight victories.
Coach James Richards has devel-
oped a great team, out of what ap-
peared to be very raw material early
in the season, and is undoubtedly
the strongest and fastest basket ball
team that ever represented the
River Falls High School.
With a record of s straight wins
to their credit, and all won by de.
cisive scores, the local team will en-
ter the basket ball tournament at
the Normal this week a strong con-
tender for first place honors
The following is the record of the

River Falls Defeated
At Stevens Point

River Falls lost the northern bas-
ket ball championship last Friday
when they were defeated by Stevens
Point. The ca S journeyed to
Stevens Point with hopes of turning
the dope but it turned the wrong
way. Although the Normal was de-
feated by a score of SO to Is by
better team, the score does not in
dictate the comparative strengths.
The game was called at s o'clock
on the Stevens Point floor. Bot h
teams played fast game. During
the first five minutes of play neither
team was able to score. Stevens
Point fouled and Reed scored free
throw This started things going.
The teams played like demons and
the crowd went wild. The score see
sawed back and forth until the last
few minutes of the first half when
the Point took squirt and past our
boys on the score board. The half
ended with the score Is to 7 in favor
of the Point.
The second half was a repetition
Of the first. Our attack was COM
pletely smothered, making it impos-
sible for lighter men to score musch.
Although River sFalls was beaten,
had heavier opponents to deal with,
nevertheless they fought to the last
ditch. Reed n d Kreuger k p t

Red Cross Notes

Do you sometimes receive money
from unexpected sources? If So
why not remember your local Red
Cross Chapter? Among donations OF
the week is an interesting dollar. 1t
was brought into the bank at Ellis
worth by man who said he owed it
to Lyman Powell before the Civil
war and wished it paid to Mr.. Pow
ellis heirs to free his conscience.
Mrs. Weld received the money and
turned it over to Red Cross.
Are there any social or fraternal
groups that can raise furthur dona.
tions for the local work soon?
Remember t h a t h e materials
which the women are making into
garments and surgical dressings cost
money.
During January and February the
women O. Pierce County knit 79
mufflers, 248 helmets, 279 pairs OF
wristlets, 518 pair of socks and SCI

Child Welfare

Mrs. May F. Grimshaw, chairman
OF the committee of child W elfare of
the Woman's committee, State
Council of Defense, has notified
county chairmen to begin making
definite plans for the ST ate-wide
weighing and measuring of children
under six years of age which is to be
done between April and June 1.
The first date marks the be beginning
of what is to be known as the Chill
dren's Year which the ChAdren's
Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Labor propose to save
the lives of 100000 children. A
definite campaign has been mapped
out by the Children's Bureau look
ing towards a conservation of child
life. The recent draft disclos the
fact that large proportion of the
physical defects which led b the re-
lection of men for army service
were of such a nature til at they
might have been obviated if they
had been detected in early child
hood. The proposed weight ng and
measuring of all young chi ldren in
the United States, together with the
subsequent analysis of the data OBJ
tanned will be Of immense value in
determining the work of child saw

At regimental drill last week Col.
Smith singled out I'D" Co. for es-
pecial praise in the manner of de-
pertinent on the field. There is to
be competitive drill the latter part
of this week and this organization is
striving to be classed as the most
perfect.
Large numbers of new recruits
have beeu coming into Camp during
the past week, most Of them being
assigned to other regiments. Lawr-
ence Rannello, of North Hudson, is
the only new man to be assigned to
this Co., but four men from the av-
iation school at Urbana, ILL.,, are
added this week, making Is "un-
horsed" aviators in all in Co. Cd"
The Y. M. G. A. auditorium is
having some splendid entertain
ments, and Smileage books are be-
ing appreciated greatly. In this re-
gard we would like to mention an
incident that occurred there the 9TH
err evening as it will serve as an IL
lustration for an article appearing
in this paper few weeks ago re-
garding the playing Of our national
anthem. AS the last act was brought
to close the 5000 or more soldiers
in the auditorium started one grand
rush for the exits. In the midst of
this confusion the orchestra started
playing "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." Before the first bar was com
pleted, although no command was
sounded, every soldier in the build
ing had halted, faced toward the
music and was standing at atten-
ton, and aside from the music there
was. not sound nor amovement I'M
til the last note had died away.
Corporal Harry Hosford and Pvts.
Erick Wick and Follansbee have been
taken to the Base hospital this week,
the former with mumps and the two
latter with measles. Pvt. Wick also
underwent an operation for hernia
Recent improvements bring the Seth
Div. hospital to the front as a model
institution in all departments, There
is now in process of construction a
building for the entertainment of
patients, sort of a club or rest
room, with provision for holding
professional and amateur entertain
ments of all kinds.
AS new recruits detrain at camp
they are greeted with continuous
stream of good natured joshing,
from the time they leave the depot,
up through the long Company
streets, till they arrive at their bar
racks. But it is only short time
before they are issued their uni
forms and can mingle unnoticed
with the rest.
