Mr.. Russell P. Smith, county di-
rector, made the statement that the
Red Cross drive would start Mon

only to give, but to have their minds
made up as to the amounts they
would give, so as not to delay the
work of the solicitors.
Music was furnished by the High
School Orchestra. There were solos
by Miss Nellie Shackelford and Mr..
James McAllister.
