GOOD WAR RECORD
BEING MADE IN
SCHOOLS
JUNIOR RED CROSS WORK is
TAKEN OVER By
CLASSES

To and including last Friday
$~3,4O9.50 worth of thrift and war
savings stamps had been sold in
the local schools and it is believed
that, as the town in general leads
the state, so the schools have es-
tablished a record for the state.
Superintendent of School w. H.
Weslar reports that the introduce
ton of the sale of stamps into the
schools met with a hearty response
from the pupils and that in the
course of the contest many fine
traits we're developed in the boys
and girls in their efforts to make
the sale a success and that the les
son of patriotism was taught with
little effort by the teachers, who in
all grades urged the purchase OF
stamps to the limit.
The contest resulted in the fol
lowing amounts being sold in the
different grades and high-school:
High-school, %$260.10; eighth grade,
s2O9.25; seventh, $1O7; sixth, $685.
rs; fifth, $251.50; fourth, $102;
third, $135.5O; second $113; first,
Miss CANDLES class, ~$2092.25;
first, Miss Duffy's class, $49.75.
The unusually large amount to
the credit of Miss Candles class is
due to two $1,000 purchases.
In the case of most of the chill
dren, and particularly in the case
of those in the lower grades, most
OF the money with which the chill
dren bought the stamps was fur
nished by their parents, but in
many cases in the upper grades the
purchases we're made with money
earned by the pupils and in one
case it Is known that cooperation
and hard work was necessary for
the raising of one dollar, but that
the gathering and sale of many bot
ties and other articles resulted in
the necessary dollar being raised.
The national drive, during which
1t is proposed to make 100 per cent
of the $4,000 pupils in Nevada
schools members of the Junior Red
Cross, has also taken hold in Gold
field schools and every local school
child, without an exception, is al
ready a member of the junior or
g~anization and the work of the Jun
ior Red Cross has been taken over
by the schools.
The girls r busy sewing and
shipping and the boys are engaged
in making gun swabs. A detailed
report of this work will be issued
in the near future by Superinten-
dent Weslar.
Through the sale of hot dogs
the children have raised some
money for this work and an enter
tainment for the raising of more
funds is planned for next month.

board is now practically complete,
only three more men registered in
the district remaining to be exam
ined here as far as is known.
This, of course, does not include
registrants under jurisdiction of the
local board who have been examined
by other boards and from whom no
reports have been received.
OF a total of 55 examined by the
local board or by other boards and
from whom returns have been re-
ceived, 10 we're rejected, IA were
sem to the medical advisory board
and one, Philip R. Blake, who was
examined in Bishop, CAL, was &C
copied for limited service. This is
regarded as an excellent record COM
pared with results of examinations at
other places, over so per cent hav-
ing been accepted without qualifica-
ton and the result of examinations
by the advisory board yet to be
heard from.
Esmeralda county's quota in the
first draft is now regarded as hav-
ing been filled, according to the
board, as under the voluntary in
d~uction" clause of the selecttve serv-
ice laws, the county will receive
credit for the enlistment of four in
the quartermaster corps, Isaac Bafr,
C. H. Ferry, Roy Amber and Henry
Cooper, and two, Walter B. Maxwell
and Alva Garrett, who have been
sent papers for voluntary enlistment
at San Francisco. These enlistments
should leave a surplus in the first
draft for the district.
Computing the number of men the
district will receive credit for on
account of enlistments, except the
six who enlisted under the volun-
tary induction clause, is an impossi-
BILE task, as many have enlisted for
whom the district has never received
credit, although the enlistment oc-
Cured months ago. State authori-
ties have been consulted regarding
this, but it is the general opinion
that the district never will receive
credit for many enlistments.

amined to date and the result Of the
