RED NOTES

Next week, March "a to 81, is TO be
held the nation wide Red Cross drive for
old clothes. The refugees in northern
France and Belgium, for whom the cloth
ing is being collected, were driven from
their homes during hostilities by the
German bombardment, or if they at
tempted to remain in the path of the
Huns advance, they were made civilian
prisoners and deported to Germany to
work in the boches' fields and factories.
With the armistice, their thoughts and
ambitions turned toward the places they
once knew as home, and, coming back,
they found nothing but desolation and
ruin,
All over that waste Of territory they
are now living in dugouts that served as
shell shelters for the contending 9rmies,
in rudely constructed shacks and dark
cellars. Why do they stayY Because
it's the only place they can call home
OF food they have little, but by their
own efforts and the help of various re-
lief agencies, they have so far been able
to obtain sufficient nourishment to sus'
tain life, but Of clothes they have prac.
tically none. The head of the family
wears soldiers Cast-Off tunic, pair OF
trousers patched in half a dozen places
with plain burlap. The mothers cos
tune consists of trousers in many in
stances. or a skirt made from pieces Of
cast.of garments, and in nine cases out
of ten a mans shirt.
Leather shoes are very scarce and I'M
derclothes a luxury. The children 60
about CARRIED in a heterogeneous eollec-
ton of cloth that could not be graced
with the name Of clothes, Socks and
stockings are articles that have become
practically unknown as clothing ne
cessity in these regions
And these are the people that the Red
Cross branch in Barre and those all over
the United States are trying to help
during this coming week in the old
clothes drive. 1t would seem that there
is not a family but could contribute
something to alleviate the want of these
refugees in France and Belgium,
If they were asking for new garments
or were particular as to cut and style it
would be different, but when all they
ask for are the cast-off garments, those
in which we are too proud to appear
again, how can we refuse?
Continue looking over your storage
places and bring out anything that has
more wear in it. Pillows or carpets are
not wanted neither are hats of any kind
unless they are boys caps or mems soft
hats. as the clothes are to be crowded
into bags and must be of texture that
can stand such usage
In addition TO wearing apparel. bed

Work While at Work.

It's a good thing not to take your
hobbies to the office. It's also a good
thing to dispense with easy chairs n
other luxuries In your place OF busi-
ness. Take the rest cure at home. The
office is a place of toll. 1t should be
comfortable. but its appointments
should be suggestive of work and EN-
cheney rather than leisure. Instead
of making a man feel like taking q
mp the office environment should be
an urge to his best efforts.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Laura M. Folts)

The freshmen were kept busy all day
Friday preparing for the big bonfire to
be held that evening. They are to be
prided on their work, for by. supper
time the bonfire was as tall as the
auto shed standing next to it, and
when five gallons Of kerosene were
poured on it the result was some big
bonfire. A big serpentine was formed
and after yelling and serpentining
around the bonfire awhile each of the
foot ball boys was hoisted on some of
the other fellows shoulders and gave
short talks on the spirit and fight of
the team and H. K. H. S. Several of
the faculty spoke. and Mr.. Baker told
the boys that the business men were
behind and wished them we'll. The
Freshmen president came onto the field,
followed by several pail bearers who
were carrying wooden casket with
the dummy Of Capt. Ziggenhagen. of
The Dalles team. in it. The rest of the
class were in attendance as mourners.
The funeral services were carried out
and after taking one last look at ''our
friend he was thrown into the fire and
cremated. While he was burning we
sang songs and ended the big rally by
going to charivari. Everybody was
in high spirits for the morrow.
Lloyd Blowers gives the following ac.
count of Saturdays game:
Saturday Hood River Hi and The
Dalles Hi collided on our home field for
the championship of the mid Columbia
league. The Dalles outweighed and
outclassed US and had large score on
Hood River at the end of the first half.
The Hood River team was high in spir.
its until we had some raw decisions
pulled over our eyes by the referee,
George Bragg. Finally. after The
Dalles was given five downs to make
their last touchdown the Hood River
boys left the field and refused to play
against such odds.
Hood River team could not beat The
Dalles team, because they were play.
ing against the referee and head lines
man. as we'll as The Dalles foot ball
players. Some of the Hood River peo-
pie thought our boys were cutters, but
if they understood the finer parts of
the game they would look at it in a
different light. After the game some of
The Dalles boys stole our championship
basket ball pennant out of the school
and this caused several fights. Prin-
cipal Bailey had some job preventing
mob fights, but finally broke up the
mob and sent them down town, where
they went after it all the more.
The high school has decided to play
the firemen Turkey Day, and we hope
the people turn out in order that we
may show them we are not yellow"
Monday there was assembly from
to O'Clock p. M. at which the game
of Saturday was discussed by both stu.
dents and faculty. There were many
heated arguments and it was the opin.
ion of most of the faculty that although
they got dirty deal from The Dalles
team, the referee and head inesman.
they were not justifei in leaving the
field. but the students backed the boys
in all they said and did.
EVERYBODY is looking forward to the
whole weeks vacation we are promised
Thanksgiving. We get out Of school
Wednesday night and do not have to go
back till Wednesday Of the next week.
