NATIONAL RED CROSS DRIVE
SCHEDULED FOR MAY 20 TO 81

The Garfield county chapter of the
Red Cross has received complete in.
structions for carrying on the cam
paign to raise another hundred millioh
dollars in the nation in order that the
humane work of the National Red
Cross may continue.
Of the total amount the Garfield
county chapter has been asked to raise
five thousand dollars. This chapter IN
cludes the communities of Carbondale,
New Castle and Glenwood Springs. The
Cardiff branch of the chapter is not
expected to be in operation on account
of the moving of the Midland shops to
Basalt, but the territory formerly en-
braced within this branch will be
looked after by Glenwood Springs If
the branch organization is unable to
do so. Needless to say, the obligation
imposed upon the Garfield county chap
ter will be met as never before, al
though the workers are anticipating a
strenuous campaign.
The division headquarters of the Red
Cross in Denver has promised a very
forceful speaker for this place Wedncs
day evening, May 10, in the person of
Reverend Philip A. Easley, lecturer
of considerable note. Reverend Easley
will be accompanied by returned
army officer, and will have with him
one or two reels of lately released war
films. The meeting will take place at
the Odeon theatcr and is free to the
public. No contributions are to be So
licited at this time, as the campaign
is not to be officially started until May
20. If anyone questions the good work
of the National Red Gross, this will be
an uncxceled opportunity to learn Off
cially of its many activities.
The campaign management is rapidly
organizing for the great task. f"l

These cots had been made by the

pended 1t from the foot Of the most

One of these men. Bombardier Will

terry D 23s, seemed to take liking
to me, and returned this feeling.
In two days time we were pretty

systematically reach every citizen of
the community. 1t is felt that the peo-
pie are willing and eager to do their
share toward meeting the obligation
given them by the National Red Cross
if they can be given an opportunity to
do so. 1t is understood that every cit
izen will be able to decide before the
campaign starts just what part of the
fund he should give. In other words,
even in our Red Cross work we are going
to meet that boasted German efficiency
propaganda and show the Huns that in
everything we are getting down to bust
ness and are going to support this war
in every branch of its undertakings.
H. H. French went to Carbondale
Tuesday and reports that that com
munity has accepted their obligation
and will make a great showing. New
Castle is practically fully organized
and ready for business. This advanced
organization is going to relieve us Of
the rush ana hysterla Which usually at
companies a drive of this kind and in
dicates how rapidly all branches of
war activities are becoming efficient in
their lines of duty. 1t means the ulti-
mate downfall of the hated kaiser, and
the Red Cross, which has been aptly
called "The Greatest Mother in the
World,' will contribute gloriously to
that end.

But in the periods of time wncn
things have looked blue and every

by the time this reaches you and |
am going to ask you to change my ad-
dress to General Delivery, Miami,
Florida. I'm coming back to Florida
for two or three months and learn to
ibe bird now. 1t almost seems like
am coming home to get so close. We
leave here Saturday night, June 9th,
and will get to Miami about the first
Of the week, so try to get a Satur-
days copy to me. They won't let
me off to come over to Lakeland so
you tell everybody you see that is
coming over to Miami to look me up
at the Naval Air Station and I'll be
right there looking for them and glad
to see them.
The course here has been hard but
it certainly is worth the effort it
takes to go through it, It is all very
instructive and have learned a
whole lot that ] shall never forget,
But how glad we are to get
through. From every side comes that
long sigh of relief and everybody
feels like surely the training camp
will be more like living than this.
There are lots of boys that enter
here who don't realize just what it
will do for them. don't think there
has been flight that has completed
the course since have been here
that hasn't had at least one death.
Ours has only had one but so many
of the boys have had to go to the hos
pital. The one just two weeks back
of us has already had two deaths, and
one that went out about six weeks
ago had two deaths and two to go
crazy. The percentage though is
only about one or two.
But you have never seen such A
mixture of boys. They come from
every stage of life imaginable. There
are lots and lots of football and base
ball players in school now; there is
Williams of the New York Giants, one
Of the Philadelphia ball players, Nc

talked-of football player of Yale, a

others that / could name. We are

Eclipse Of Sun
Almost Total
Here Saturday

The eclipse Saturday evening was
viewed with much interest by practi-
cally the whole population in these
parts. The sky was unclouded, and
conditions were favorable for the
study Of this unusual and interesting
phenomenon. By means of smoked
glass good view could be obtained,
and ninet enths Of our people had
slight smudge Of black on their noses
Saturday night, where in their en-
thusiasm they had held the glass too
close.
The moons shadow began to en-
croach upon the sun shortly after six
o clock, moving slowly across until
only very slender crescent rim re-
NAMED visible. At about $40 the
shadow reached its greatest area, at
this time the sun being almost wholly
obscured. 1t grew quite dark, with \
weird, unnatural half light, which
gave place again to the brilliant ra-
dance of clear sunset, as the shad.
ow slowly moved on and left Old
Soils face unveiled.
Many persons from all over South
Florida went to Orlando to view the
phenomenon, that city being in the
| line of totality-a line about 40 miles
wide These people were disappoint-
ed, however, as thunderstorm and
cloudy skies totally spoiled the spec
Itacle there.
1t was wonderful sight, and one
that will not be seen again by thi,
generation.

LAKELAND WILL ENTERTAIN
CENTRAL FLORIDA HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION JUNE Z

The semi-annual meeting of the
Central Florida Highway Association
will be held in Lakeland on Wednes-
day, June 18th. The meeting will be
held at the Elks' Club Through the
splendid courtesy of this organiza-
ton )and will be called to order at
nine o'clock by President T. Ed
Bryan
While the Dixie Highway through
the central part Of the State, to Sc
cure which routing caused the Cen
trail Florida Highway Association to
be born, has been almost completed
there is yet much more than this to
do because the Association, in its
constitution, is pledged to secure
cross-state and other important and
needed highways, not only linking W
Florida with the northern States, but
also connecting the East and West
coasts with good direct roads. The
Sunrise to Sunset" route is one OF
these which is at the present time
receiving much attention at the hands
OF the various committees of the AS
ISOLATION, in the effort to secure d
direct routs from st. Petersburg on
the West coast to Melbourne on the
East coast, via Tampa, Lakeland, Kis.
simmee and st. Cloud. When the
work on the Loughman-Kissimmee
section has been completed this sum
mer and the link now being filled il
between Kissimmee and the BrevarG
county line there will be a fine mod
ern highway across the State with the
exception of few miles east of st
Cloud. This will be one of the mos
important highways in the State cut
ting off $50 miles between the Eas
and West Coast as at present trav
elled.
1t is expected that owing to tn,
splendid Improvement of roads il
Central Florida, and especially i,
Polk county, that large number o
delegates will be drawn hither Poll
county will be in a position to tall
about the roads she has built. Hith
erto it has been a talk of what w
were going to do.
The business men of this town ow
a great deal to this organization an
should be willing to give little tim
tn attend the meeting on Wednesda
, morning. The welcome and expires
sion of appreciation and the hospi
tality extended on the part Of the cit
will be taken care of by the Lakelan
Motor Club, the members of whic
will doubtless be on hand to see tina
our guests are properly made to fec
at home.
An executive meeting of the Boar
of Directors will be held tomorro,
evening, also at the Elks Club whic
will be headquarters Of the Associa
ton.
It is expected that the business ses
} sion may be closed early enough S
