JUNIOR RED CROSS GIVES
PLEASING Entertainment
Large Audience Enjoys Varied Pro-
gram of Music and Dancing
Youngsters Display Talent

The Junior Red Cross entertain
ment given in the High School audi
torium last Friday evening before a
large audience demonstrated that
there are in the group of youngsters
number of embryo Thespians.
The entire program was carried
through without a single break
credit for which should be shared by
the competent director, Miss Mitch
ell. and the children composing the
talent.
1t would be most unfair to attempt
any invidious distinction in a pro-
gram that afforded such genuine
pleasure to the entire assemblage,
yet reference may be made to the
number by the male quartette" a
group of splendidly trained midgets
the entire quartette being required
to physically make one soloist
They lacked nothing in entertain
ing talent however. and certainly af-
forded abundant pleasure to their
auditors, who voiced their satisfac-
tion by demanding an encore.
The folk dances were gracefully
done and the audience responded
to the inspiriting anthem of France
"The Marsellaise, which was
splendidly rendered.
The proceeds from the entertain
ment will be applied toward the pur-
chase of articles for making gar
ments for the boys abroad and re-
port is that the seniors need to look
to their laurels as the Junior Red
Cross has turned out surprising
quantities of well finished pieces.

LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT
APPEALS FOR EQUIPMENT
Say Growth of City Requires Mod
ern Apparatus. Committee Named
To Secure subscriptions

Warned by the heavy fire loss re-
Gently suffered in Winnemucca, the
seriousness of which was partly at
tributed to inefficient fire apparatus.
the local fire department at its re-
cent meeting discussed again the
needs of this city in this particular
end appointed a committee to pre-
sent the matter to the citizens.
The freedom of this city from Il
disastrous conhagration may be re-
sponsib.e for the Indifference of the
property owners to the need for i'm
mediate action, but for their escape
from heavy losses after due credit
lie given the fire department for
their ready response to every call
and their successful operation of
their ancient fire fighting machine
the chief credit may rightfully be
awarded a beneficient Providence.
The department points to the grad
ual growth of the city with its in
creased dangers of fire to supple
ment their appeal to the citizens for
action for their own protection Ia
ing stress upon the financial benefit
resulting in lower rate of insur-
ance. that follows a city well guard
ed from fire risks.
What is required in this city ae-
cording to the committee is a motor
driven truck, combining hose and
chemical apparatus. the cost of
which will be from $500 to $4,000.
The committee consists of l. II.
Kent, L. L. Herr, II. A Clarke and
L. L. Kendrick who during the past
few months by means of subscription
have raised a fund of $4,000 to
be paid when the entire sum has
been pledged.
An appeal to the City Council will
also be made as this certainly ap-
pears to be a perfectly legitimate
appropriation for that body to al
low.
1t is the intention of the commit
tee to make a general canvass of the
city that this long considered need
may be at last supplied.
