RED CROSS AUSIuAUIES ARE
ACTIVE DURING PAST MONTH

The girls OF the Sixth and Seventh
grades are busily engaged making
lAyettes for refugee babies under the
direction OF N rs. Herbert Living
ston. The local chapter has been
asked 10 supply 20 OF these In the
near future. A start was made by
Mrs. J. J. saraIin OF Nyssa. who sent
a handsome one to the local head
quarters this week and which has
been on exhibition at Wilson Bros.
o
There has ben considerable com
ment aroused In recent weeks, espe-
eially among the knitters. BY reason
OF the fact that n few young men OF
the city are wearing knit sweaters
made OF the khaki or gray yarn used
for soldier and sailor sweaters. Pig
knitting fortunately has not been
conspicuous here. but In view OF the
great demand for the yarn. a demand
so great that the Red Cross can not
supply Il, makes the wearing OF such
sweaters seem strange indeed.

Another auxiliary was formed dur
ing hte past week and like the other
branches has started work, the new

SCHOOL CHILDREN
ARE RESOURCEFUL
Earning Money in Many Ways,
Superintendent Scott Says, IN
the Cause of Liberty.

Perhaps YOU didn't know that there
were other ways for youngsters to earn
money than by running errands or selling
newspapers If YOU listen to what Supt.
Scott has to say about how the children
of the public schools are earning money
TO nav their pledges to the Victory Boys
and Girls. YOU will credit these young
Americans with ingenuity. In School No.
"a the bows have shopwork Do they
get only theoretic knowledge Of shop
work from it? No, indeed, they are
earning money by it, as a sale held last
Saturday demonstrated. And business IS
growing They exhibited one of those
pretty, useful sewing stands that every
one needs and likes, and they straight
way got orders for 20 more Of the same,
that's doing business on q large scale.
To work in the shops, the boys need
aprons, large heavy denim affairs, and
sometimes mother Is too busy, or she
can I sew, and the boy has trouble getting
his apron The girls of School No. 2S,
under the guidance of the sewing teacher,
made lot of these aprons, according to
specifications, and sold them to the boys
Of No "a, at profit of 25 cents each.
This profit went into the bank of each
Young searnstress TO swell her fund for
her s. pledge
Right in line with the general con-
servation policy of the country, these
children waste nothing. Somebody else
may throw pieces of wallpaper away, or
ends of Fabrikoid, but not Wilmington

discarded odds and ends and you see
them next a. desk-pads, loose-leaf note
