Red Cross Notes

Mrs. t'entOn Parsons has been
appointed chairman of the Conserva-
ton committee. This committee
will have charge Of the Fruit Pit
and Nut Shell Campaign to which
attention has already been called.
Word has been received from the
Division that so far the results of
this Campaign have been disappoint-
ing. The season will soon be over.
Let every one remem Der to save
every fruit pit and nut shell.
Remember seven pounds will make
a mask. Every mask will save a
life.
The government has asked the
Red Cross to aid the conservation Of
platinum and tin. The Conservation
committee will have this work in
charge. Any persons, having in
their possession articles containing
platinum, with which they are will
ing to part, may consult Mr.. T. c..
Carr. The government will pay
the market price for these articles
and if given to the Red Cross the
proceeds will be devoted to the
work of the local Branch.
In the collection of tin, foil, of
all kinds is desired, that which is
used for wrapping tobacco, cigar
cites, ,.chewing gum, chocolate, etc.
Second. Collapsible tubes taht
contain tooth paste, shaving cream,
salve, paints, etc.
Third. Pewter articles of every
kind. AS all pewter contains a
large percentage of tin, the collec-
tion of pewter is important.
Tin cans contain trif1ing percen-
tage of tin and are not wol tn collect
ing.
AS soon as conditions permit, the
local Branch will hold a public meet
ing to consider the adoption of the
new Bylaws for Branches recon-
mended by the National Red Cross.
Under the new arrangement, the
annual business meeting will be held
in October and officers for the en-
suing year elected. Watch for
further announcements.
Through the generosity of the
townspeople the local Branch has
been able to collect and pack 250O
pounds of clothing for the commits
sion for relief in Belgium. The
officers of the Branch who have had
the work in charge wish to express
their appre citation for the kindly
helpfulness which has been rendered
in gathering, storing and packing
this material.

sick during this epidemic. The
Division Headquarters at Boston
asks all school-teachers to render
any assistance. possible and several
of of our local teachers are caring

These will be supplied by the Red

HARD.SuRFACED
ROADS FAVORED
Frank KeII Of Wichita Falls
Explains Plan Here,
OKLAHOMA CITY AS A HUB
Highway From Texas to Kan
SaS Is Plan Suggested,

One Of the biggest good road prof.
ec's announced here in years, broke
yesterday when Frank kell OF Wichita
Falls, Texas, visited the city and re-
qucstcd the good roads committee OF the
Chamber Of Commerce to get behind his
plan with its power in order that Okla
homa county and Oklahoma City should
have a share in the greatest road propo-
sition experts say the southwest has
ever known
This is Kelrs plan:
Kell says Wichita Falls and the coun-
ty il is situated in have voted a bond
issue for $4,000 TO pay for hard sur
faced. concrete roads radating out Of
Wichita Falls Already Wichita Falls
has linked itself TO the famous Electra
oil fields, some distance off and Kell
says that more passenger traffic goes
over this surfaced road by auto
mobiles now than the railroads ever
carried.
Kell believes that the various oil fields
between the Electra frelds in Texas and
the Mid-Continent fields in Kansas
should be united by continuous system
Of hard surfaced roads Kell would
start north from Wichita Falls, coming
through southern Oklahoma by way Of
Lawton and the military reservation
Fort Sill, then up to Oklahoma City,
thence TO Tulsa by way of the Cushing
oil fields and from Tulsa north TO the
mid-continent fields in Kansas. all this
great highway to be built OF hard sur
faced material
Kell and his plan descended upon
Oklahoma City unannounced and as a
great surprise 10 the Chamber Of Com
mercc officials. In short time. how
ever. all the members OF the Chamber s
good roads committee had received a
telephone request TO gather at the
Chamber al p. m and hear kell's plan.
Every man on the committee was pres
ent and il was received with enthusiasm.
One OF the encouraging things pointed
out to the Oklahoma City business men
in connection with this chain of hard
surfaced roads connecting the great
southwest oil fields was the fact that oil
men. admittedly the freest spcndcrs of
money in the world. would have free,
easy and comfortable access to Okla
homa City to do their buying and seek
ing OF amusements to he found in the
metropolis OF the southwest Kell said
that TO all intents and purposes Okla
homa City would act as the hub and
most important center Of this oil field
highway
= The plan was the subject of much dis
clission and il was voted by the members
Of the Chambers good roads committee
10 postpone definite action on the project
until the first part of next week. Kell
was assured that his plan had the in
formal Endorsement OF the Chamber OF
Commerce good roads committee, and
that il knew OF no reason why the
Chamber could not, through this COM
mittee get behind the plan and assist
The method of doing this would OF
course be to see to it, so far as this
community was concerned, that Okla
homa county did its share OF the hard
surfaced road building.
Kell expressed himself as well salts
fled with the result OF his visit and said
