CHRISTMAS ROLL CALI.

Dear Members and Friends of Mineral
Point Branch, American Red Cross
Is the work of the Red Cross com
pleted because the fighting has ceased :?
is the question SO often asked BY no
means The work Of the Red Cross in
the part il has assumed will not be done
while there is an American boy over
there or while the families here need
aid, council and advice in the many
problems that present themselves. In
order to carry on TO the end the great
task the Red Cross has undertaken, the
national body has ordered a member
ship drive. or as they term il, Christ
mas Roll Call, which it is hoped will re-
suit in universal adult Red Cross mem
bership throughout the United States
to meet the boys on their return.
This community has never made
purely membership drive, but it is GER
tain that Mineral Point will not 20 be-
hind in this last Red Cross war work
call. Let all who have been members
re-enlist for 1919 and those who have
not join now
The Red Cross win continue to repre-.
sent the heart Of America as long as
war work lasts England and France
are fast taking over their own war
work in Red Cross and other lines and
as q result of this. it is safe 60 say that
the proceeds of this drive will be an
used for work for the American boys
discharged Let US have a 100 per cent
Red Cross window flag in every house
on Dec. % the close Of Christmas Roll
Call week
A letter will be sent TO the head OF
each household asking that the member
ship be left at The Farmers and Citi-
zens Bank and at The Iowa County
Bank. where a Red Cross committee
will be ready to receive them during
the week. December 1923.
Yours in the work.

WITH the ending of the war ended
the extraordinary power for war pur-
poses conferred upon the president by
Congress Such is our conception. Are
we right? But now, when the Hun is
at our mercy, when Germany lies pros

sinking below the horizon and the sun
of peace fills all our skies, the president
has taken over the express companies

THE publication Of the government

to assemble enough paper for this job,

result would stagger humanity.

GOVERNMENT TO
BUILD NEW ROAD
Front Street to Be Rebuilt
From Blocks to Bor-
ough Limits

In order to increase the efficiency
of transportation facilities to and
from Middletown through Steelton
and Highspire, government officials
| in charge of the Middletown job will
build a permanent street similar to
the highway built by the state
through Steelton and Highspire, it
was learned to-day.
This action was taken by govern
ment officials following a conference
of Major William B. Gray and assist
ants with members of the highway
fcommittee of Council on Saturday.
A joint meeting of borough and gov
ernment officials will be held to-day
or tomorrow at which time local au-
thorities will be told just what the
government intends to do.
The poor condition of Front street
between the wooden blocks and the
! borough limits retards the speed of
the trucks operating between the
government buildings and the city.
! This has forced COVER nent officials
to take some action, iC was said to-
day.
Just what part of the expense the
borough will pay, Mr.. Henderson
said he would be unable to say until
tomorrow. He announced definitely,
however, that the borough will fur
, rish part of the equipment which
will be used in building the new
road. The borough official stated that
the Harrisburg Railways Company
will be ordered to raise it's tracks to
the level of the street. This has been
the cause of the road going bad be-
fore. Mr.. Henderson said.
After the repairs are made gov
ernment officials expect to make a
trim with a truck to and from the
operations in Middletown in fifty
minutes

Henderson Admits Poor
Schedule of Collections

Admitting that the collections OF
ashes and garbage were very irreg-

been working hard to get men to do
the work but has been unable to OBJ
tain labor. This is the reason given
for the irregular collections. Aside

ed that what few they had were hard
to keep in the borough employ.
