/ The continued vacation of many Of
our schools has interfered greatly with
the organizing Of our school auXiliar-
les. However, plans.are being made
to finish the work Of organizing rapid
ly as soon as the flu has run its course
and all are at work again. 80
We want every school to enroll right
away then raise their membership
fees as soon as possible, but not later
than Feb. %, 1919.
A new ruling of Junior headquarters
makes it optional with schools which
enrolled during last May or later
whether they pay in a membership
fee for this year or not. The member
ship fee money they deposited last
spring continues their membership un-
til Sept. 1, 1919, if they so wish it. All
enrolling previous to May or newly
enrolled must deposit the membership
fee now or before Feb. %, 1919. -.
As iowa Day" has been postponed
with the closing day of the special
Junior Red Cross drive to- November
9th, we hope it will be possible for
all schools to hold general patriotic
exercises as far as possible OF a COM
munity nature on that date.
In the special activities planned for
the different months change is made
in the November work. Instead of the
Letters to Men in the Service" as
planned by request of the war depart
ment. the letters will not be sent. The
month of November will be devoted to
the study of the origin, ideals, growth,
organization and work of the American
Red Cross. A brief history yaccompan-
led by suggestive exercis es, charts,
map work and general information will
be sent to teachers in early Novem-
ber .sn .f Pc
For December our special activities
are, the holding of a bazaar by the
auxiliary and assistance of Epupils and
teachers in the Senior Red Cross drive
for membership.
So many queries come in asking as
to the proper use of the school funds
that we give the following suggestions
given us by Headquarters:
l. Purchase of materials for use in
production. g..
2. Donations to the various Red
Cross activities. Among these are the
relief and care of destitute children
and refugees in Europe and the civil
ian relief and service in beh alf of SOL
diers and sailors families.
8. Subscriptions to the Red Cross
magazine to be used by the schools
for supplementary reading.
4. Purchase one or more copies Of
the book entitled "Our Country's Call
to Service" for the schools use. .,
S. Special calls for contributions
from time to time as occasion de-
mands. .-~
The chairman of the school commit
tee will keep informed as the special
plans and calls and from him, and our
weekly Junior notes you can keep post
ed as to these special calls, L a
The committee to elect the county
Junior officers for the year 191S-1919
will meet soon. Each school auxiliary
committee organized last year should
hold meeting soon of the Junior Red
Cross authorities and elect their new
committees for this year. The local
school board, the teachers and the
Senior and Junior Red Cross officers
are the authorities to choose the new
committee The chairman or the vice
chairman of the Junior Red Cross COM
mittee should call the meeting as soon
as possible.
