HALLOWEEN DANCE
WILL Be GIVEN
FOR JUNIOR
RED CROSS

In appreciation or the excellent
work done by the Junior Red Cross
organization, the Junior advisory
committee of the Goldfield Red
Cross chapter, with the cooperation
of the teachers of the schools, will
give the Juniors a Halloween party
Friday night, Nov. L.
1t will be a dancing party, in
costume, in Elks' hall. The advis-
DRY committee which will have the
affair in hand, comprises Mesdames
Harry Moon, Harry Oakley and Joe
Gilbert. AS it is not designed to
make money from the party, but
simply to pay necessary expenses,
the admittance fee for the children
will be only 25 cents, while the
grown-ups, who also will be invited,
will be assessed a little more.
1t will be d~istinctively a Hallow-
cen party, with costumes and GUS
toms appropriate to the time-honor-
ed fete. and prizes will
be given for the costumes most
characteristic of the occasion. The
committee has made it plain that
prizes will be confined to Hallow-
cen costumes and those getting the
best results for the least expendi-
ture of money will be favored. 1t
is the intention to discourage any
expense in costuming. In fact,
costumes that have necessitated any
outlay will not be eligible for prizes.
| There will be W prizes for e
of the three upper grades, one for
boys and one for girls, and it is e x
pected there will be many fairies,
COLLINS, %harlequins and other deni-
zens of fairy land, not forgetting
the Brownies and possibly a cupid
or two. Those in charge say that
many appropriate and pretty cos
tunes can be made out of paper
and other inexpensive materials,
where a little ingenuity is used.
Patriotic costumes, such as soldier
and sailor, nurses and Uncle Sam
and Columbia, will come in for the
prizes, where inexpensively design
ed. While the committee hopes
that all the children will appear in
some kind of costume especially ap-
propriate to the occasion, it Is not
obligatory. But it must be under
stood that this is not to be a fan
cy dress" party. as the expression
is generally applied, and elaborate
and expensive dressing will have no
place in the awarding of prizes.
1t is hoped the parents and other
grown-ups will take an interest in
this party and help make it a not
able occasion for the children.
The Junior Red Cross auxiliary,
organized last year and taken over
by the schools, has been a pro-
nounced help to the parent chapter
and many boxes of supplies made by
the children have gone forward to
the Pacific coast headquarters. The
present school force, from the SUI
perintendent. through to the lowest
grades, are greatly interested in the
work and are especially efficient, as
nearly all engaged in Junior Red
Cross work in the schools in other
places where they taught last year.
AS a result, there is a genuine in
terest in the work among the chill
dren of the different grades and
the tangible result of their handi-
work has been surprising in guam
tity and quality. 1t is to show
their appreciation of this commend
able spirit of h%elpfulness, born OF
patriotic fervor, that the senior or
%ganization, through it's junior adj
visory committee has arranged for
and promised it's cooperation, in
planning for a Junior Red Cross
Halloween party.
