Lightning and threatening
sprinkles did not prevent large at
tendance at the Peshastin warehouse
opening and the Red Cross benefit
dance given Wednesday evening.
Over four hundred were in attend
ance at the dance and among the
quests were many people from
Wenatchee, Cashmere, Dryden and
Leavenworth. The spaciousness Of
the warehouse afforded excellent
dancing space. Mr.. McDaniels' 12-
piece orchestra furnished the music.
True to the opsters, the young can
dance and do dance while the old
can prance. The nickels and dimes
freely dropped into the Red Cross
fund as each one had one or more
dishes of ice cream and drank the
pink punch. So popular were the
refreshments that each one con-
WINGED his neighbor that one good
dish deserved another.
Everyone present seemed to thor
oughly enjoy dancing and those
watching from the side lines were
busy guessing which were the new
est and latest step and which the
Pershing trot. While enjoying the
evenings entertainment each one
was mindful of our soldier bows over
over there and that the proceeds of
the dance would be used by the
Peshastin Red Cross in making
things for our boys in khaki.
An interesting letter was re.
ceived by some Peshastin people
from soldier on the firing line in
France. In his letter he speaks of
the Red Cross and writes "When
was in the states had some criti-
cism of the Red Cross but when I
ret back to the states. if I ever
hear anyone offering unfavorable
criticism of the Red Cross, they had
better look out for I am liable to
get most powerfully hostile. Per-
sonally I consider the Red Cross an
organization of untold merit"
To those of us at home it should
be privilege to help the Red Cross,
the organization which is right on
the battlefield and can help our SOL
