TELLS CHILDREN TO KEEP WELL
Poster Club Also Illustrates Other
Patriotic Services.

The Poster Club, a student organ
izatiOn of the University, under the
supervision of Miss Gladys Wheat, is
making patriotic posters to be sent
over the state in the interest of the
WOmen's Committee of the National
Council of Defense. They tell the
aim of the committee, statewide or
ganization of women for patriotic SER
vice, and outline the departments of
work, child welfare. Americanization
education, food. health, and recreation,
and women in industry.
The child welfare posters illustrate
the care of the eyes and teeth, cor
rect breathing, what to eat and what
not to eat. One poster, on the old
way, getting sick and then getting
well, shows a child in bed with the
doctor giving medicine. The new
way, keeping well, has a group of
three children. one washing his teeth,
another exercising, and the third
splashing in the tub.
Miss Ella V. DObbs will use these
posters in her extension work. They
are in stencil designs, and can be du-
plicated any number of times. Posters
may be obtained through Miss Dobbs.
The Poster Club is an informal or
ganiZatiOn. Any student interested in
the work may become a member by
paying a fee. Miss Eva Johnston, ad-
wiser of women, keeps a list of the
members. and they are exempted from
other war work.

DOLLARS FOR IDEALS

Tomorrow the campaign for the
United War Activities fund begins.
Solicitors will call on the residents of
Columbia at their homes for their
subscriptions. There is little excuse
for anyone who doesn't give some
thing.
Buying Liberty Bonds in the right
spirit means an actual sacrifice to
many persons in moderate circumctan-
ces. While hundr dollars may not rep
resent a large sum of money, yet the
majority of people have to sacriice
to withdraw this amount from the
family treasury. To some the price
of even a $50 bond is prohibitiva. But
everyone, by really trying, can give
something to the United War Work
campaign because there is no mini
mum amount set for a persons ON
tribution. If you can't give $40. give
S5 or less. But give.
The seven organizations, united to
raise this fund, represent practically
the only sources of recreation and
pleasure of our fighting forces in
France. Far from the influence of
family and friends, with nothing to
give them pleasure, seeing always the
blOodshed and desolatiOn of war, they
have only these seven war activities
to look out for their welfare The hut
of the Y. NJ. c. A. or the Knights of
Columbus or the Jewish Welfare
Board is home to them. 1t is a place
where they can gather during their
leisure hours. write letters, talk, hear
lectures, see picture shows and other
amusements and forget for a time the
heart-rending scenes they must view
in the trenches and the ever-Fresent
grim specter of death.
With the end of life ever in sight,
soldiers are likely to grow careless
and reckless. If no good and safe
form of amusement offers itself, they
are likely to indulge in harmful activ-
tiles and temptations which are pever
far away.
We as a Nation want the men who |
have offered themselves for the sake |
of liberty and freedom to remain clean
in mind and heart. Because they
are fighting for us, we must look out |
for them. 1t will benefit us little, if |
in winning our battles, they lose their
own ideals.
1t is our duty to keep them happy /
and to keep temptation away from
them as much as possible. To do this,
we must furninsh them wholesome
We can not each in person go to do
our part but we can give our dollars
to the workers of the United War Ac-
tivities who are already there, with
the knowledge that they will be used
to the best advantage.

few days ago that the Sheriff sue
ceeded in getting on his trail.
He learned that he had been in

when he reached the point where he
had been, he learned that he had
gone across into Delaware. He hest
tated about going after him, but fl
nally decided 70 do so, and when he
reached Seaford he found that the
authorities there We're also after
him, as they regarded him as sus-
picious character.

for the local authorities, and yester-
day Sheriff Sherman finally got pos

county jail. The Sheriff says he

BUY YOUR WAR STAMPS
BY NEXT SATURDAY
BY Doing SO The Price For June
Holds Good-After Saturday, The
July Price Starts.

All of those persons who have sub
scribed for War Savings Stamps, who
can do so, should purchase these
stamps between this time and Satur-
day night, this being the last date
that the June price holds good. Per
sons who purchase stamps after Sat
urday will have to pay one cent more
for each stamp, amounting 10 zoe. on
the 500, or 50 on the $1,000.
There is another reason why all
who can should purchase these
stamps now, namely, because the
Government needs the money. Gov
eminent expenditures are probably
heavier at this season of the year
than any other, consequently it re-
quires more money with which to
meet these expenses. Buy now and
help the Government
