The men members of the Red
Cross met with the executive conl-
mittee on Wednesday evening at
the Benson theater.
The object of this meeting was
for the purpose of getting vo1un-
teers to paint the building which
has been recently donated for the
use of the Red Cross by H. w.
Etz and Max Treu.
Most of the necessary repairs
have already been made on the
building practically all that re-
mains to be done is the painting
AS it was not the intention to
call OH the general fund of the Red
Cross Society to finance this work
some of the ladies of the society
volunteered to serve refreshments
at the benefit dance last Saturday
the net proceeds.of which are to be
used to purchase materials for this
work.
At the meeting Wednesday night
about a dozen men members were
present out of an approximate
membership of forty.
Several suggestions were offered
but that of w. J. Bennett that, as
SO few of the members have the
time to devote to the work but
would be willing to finance it, the
services of a regular painter be Sc
cured and a subscription raised for
for the purpose Of paying him, was
accepted put in the form of a mo-
ton and carried unanimously with
Mr.. Bennett appoineed as COM
m1ttee OF one to carry this through.
With the net proceeds from the
dance, some donations and the dis
count that has been promised, it is
believed that there is enough
MONEY to buy the. paint; all that
remains is to pay for the work.
And speaking of donations: some
more chairs are needed for the Red
Cross room just any kind of a
straight chair only four have been
donated so(far.
