Soldiers Still Need
 Socks and Sweaters.

Socks and Sweaters.
 Soldiers still are in need of socks and warm sweaters!
 Since the armistice has been sign ed, thus ending the war, the belief has become general that Red Cross &C., tivities will cease, but the fact must not be lost sight of that hundreds of our boys are confined in hospitals in France. Until the army is demobi- lized there is going to be considerable work for the Red Cross to do. Tech nically the war is over but the work of the greatest organization the world has ever known, goes on. The local chairman reports faithful workers still in evidence in the workshop. Some are not willing to confine their labors to the two specified days Tuesday and Friday-but these faith ful ones go at other times in order that the allotment may be finished. Wednesday afternoon five pairs of pajamas were finished and several black dresses. This leaves only one little sateen pinafore to be made. The chairman makes a call now for all outstanding work, particularly these same little black garments. In ex- change she will gladly supply any one with home work. Those who feel that they cannot come to the work room may take pajamas now as there are some ten dozen yet to be finished The linen shower did not meet with very hearty response but as this consignment has not been sent out as yet, some may still wish to contribute The plan was for each one to send in some good durable piece of linen from your own stock preferably sheet, pillow case, napkin, towel or what ever you wished most to give The hospitals were to be replenished i in this way. It is not too late to take 1 your contribution to the work room 1 Mrs. Crabb of Rogers Lake has al ways been numbered among the faith l ful Red Cross workers and this week she sent in from Cottonwood, seven helmets and sweater. So the good work is being carried on! < :. :. |.
 Public Thanksgiving Was
 Real Thanksgiving.
 We often murmer and complain but it is then we should be most truly thankful. One of our greatest bless ings of last week was the fact we were able to have a public Thanks giving.
 In many places over the country there were no affairs" in the city on the day set aside by presidential proc lamation for the giving of thanks. All possible precautions were being taken to prevent the return of the flu cpl demic.
 In Flagstaff there was a mighty paen of praise and thanksgiving for this year more than any other in our history was the day one of real sig nificance.
 Churches were open, and services of solemn nature marked the day.
 Socially the day was well observed also. Many dinners were scheduled where relatives gathered about the board to return thanks. 1. !. :. |.
 A Real Lovely
 Dancing Party.
 Socially the event of the year cen tered around the lovliest dancing party Flagstaff has known in many moon. One might well ask, "When is Red Cross workroom not work room ?"; and the answer would come "When a bevy of girls choose tc transform it into scene of unalloye6 pleasure" A group of hostesses mum. bering twenty-five entertained in hon, or of their many friends. The Rec Cross rooms proved ideal for such 2 party after touches which only artis tic feminine hands can render.
 Added to these, floor of heavenly smoothness, an orchestra dispensing the dreamiest of music, and beart; fully gowned women fitting hitheI and thither and nothing is left to b. desired. Dainty programs announced some twenty dances, but encores ga lore trebled the number, for Thanks giving comes but once year.
 The hostesses received untold com pliments for the success in relievin, the monotony of months and revivinj interest in things social.
