STEELTON NEWS ITEMS
Red Cross Continues to
Urge Insuring Soldiers

Officers of the local Red Cross
chapter are anxious that this bor-
ough is among the front line dis
tricts to have the largest number of
soldiers insured. The bulletin issued
along these lines is as follows:
1T is the duty and privilege of the
Home Service Section of the Ameri-
can Red Cross to help every man
who goes into service to put his
house in order before he starts.
This is what the Home Service
Section of the Steelton chapter would
like to do for every man leaving
Steelton and vicinity to fight for his
home and country.
I'VE would like to explain to you
about the very cheap insurance
rates that the Government is offer
ing and how that insurance will
benefit not only Your family in case
of death but also yourself in case of
being permanently disabled. This
insurance is not the same as COM
pensation by the Government.
I'VE would like to explain to you
about the Governments offer to
give regular. allowances, under GER
tain conditions, to your dependents.
And last of all, we want each
man to know that the Home Service
Section is here to serve his family
ir his absence, in whatever emer-
gency may arise. We ask you to
send your families to us when in
need of help or advice of any kind,
and we will be only too glad to serve
them.
THE Home Service office is at
the Red Cross headquarters, 112
Harrisburg street, Steelton, Pa, and
is open from until o'clock each
Monday, Wednesday and Friday"

City school teachers, in a COM
munication to the School Board, pre-
sented at the meeting yesterday aft
ernoon asking for a bonus of 500
each for the present school year, and
double the usual increase in salaries
which they will receive next year.
directors in commenting on the
statement declared an increase of at
least one and possibly two mills in
the tax rate would be necessary to
meet the increase, which would total
more than $100,000; $4,000 for the
present year and approximately
$6S, 900 for the 191S-1919 term.
The communication has been re-
ferred to the members of the board
which constituted the old teachers
committee. The teachers also ask
for hearing on the salary increases
which have been requested. 1t was
stated that petitions are being cir
culated among the teachers asking
an audience with the board and for
immediate action.
In addition to the two requests for
salary increases totaling 100000,
the teachers ask in cases where they
have reached the maximum salary
that bonus of twice the last in
crease added before the maximum
was reached should be paid. Esti-
mates on how much revenue would
be required for this have not been
made. Provision is made in the re-
quest to have salaries of principals
increased twenty per cent

of Industrial establishments and
stores.
Monday night these hundreds of
workers will go to Chestnut Street
Auditorium to hear Lieutenant Pat
O'Brien, r. f. c., who will tell of
MS escape from the Huns. He will
also tell an inside story of condi-
tlons on both sides the German line
which will convince those who hear
MN that America is very fortunate
in having war "over there" and not
over here"
The Rev. Robert Bagnell will be
another speaker Monday night.
Teams Set Up
The industrial committee to-day
Will have finished the setting up of
the teams which will canvass the
stores, shops and mills. Each MEM
ber of this committee was given the
names of certain establishments. In
each of these establishments he
placed team of workers from that
establishment. These teams know
exactly what the individual employees
can do.
Many Buying Now
Chairman Andrew S. Patterson, OF
the Liberty Loan committee said this
morning that he is already receiving
INQUIRIES for bonds.
The majority of the banks of this
city are prepared to sell bonds on the
dollar-a-week scheme. That applies
to the small bond purchasers. 1t is
the msall bond purchaser who is
going to carry over the Third Liberty
Loan.
Means Hard Work
There are approximately $4,000
FAMILIES in Harrisburg. To sell $3,-
100000 in bonds in this city would
mean that for each family s233
worth of bonds were bought.
What an excellent thing it would
be-" said Chairman Patterson to-
day. IF every family in Harrisburg
could and would invest in S233
worth of bonds. 1t might mean
scrimping and saving for many peo-
pie, and actual hardship for others
but in q short time the bonds would
be paid for and the owners would
have the satisfaction of having saw
ed money and aided the country al
the same time"
Another Big Subscription
Notice was received in this city
yesterday to the effect that the own
ers of the Harrisburg Silk Mill have
decided to buy $4,000 worth of
Liberty Bonds through the local
committee. With the $4,000 ap-
propriated by New York Life for the
same purpose there is a start OF
$4,000; and the drive leaders anti
cipate other large sums from the
firms and corporations which do a
large business in Harrisburg, but
which heretofore have bought their
bonds in New York or Philadelphia
or Chicago.

Senior class play in the history of

witnessed the presentation of a
three-act comedy by members of
the Senior class. More than 1000
persons crowded the auditorium to
it's capacity and at least a hundred

presented by the best High school
talent. Miss Virginia Eckenrode,
who took part in the High school

of a colored lady. Miss Eckenrode's
makeup and her capable manner in
playing the part, won the applause
of the many patrons.

Chester 10y, who has been fa-
vorite and star in High school plays
of the last few years, laA evening
carried off honors as q blackface
comedian. "Ches," as he is known by
his many friends, took part in the
pageant last year, and has a repu-
tation of being one of the best anna
teur comedians in this vicinity.
Lydia E. Wilt, taking the part of
a mute, was exceptionally good and
while on the stage kept the audi
ence in an uproar, meriting the ap-
plause she received. Dorothy Nj.
Whitman, apother prominent ac-
tress, played the part of a colored
maid in a creditable manner.
