ternoon at the Red Cross Surgical
Dressing Department picking oakum
for pads to be sent to the front.

masses or the odorous material des-
tined to staunch the wounds OF our
boys in France. Col. LeGrand T Meyer
spoke to the boys for few minutes
and a flash light picture was taken

Scouts welcome chance to give
service and this was an opportunity to
serve our country just as truly as do
those who shoulder their guns and
meet the foe
This afternoon the boys distributed
10000 circulars TO the homes OF Ham
mond people telling what to do to
avoid the spanish influenza. This work
