Chief among the charges made by
Governor Allen and backed up by de-

RED CROSS

CHAPTER WISHES TO HOLD RECORD
Quota Of 800 Refugee Garments BY June
is Set - Cast-Oif Garment
Drive Next Week

10 order that the Hood River Red
Cross Chapter, which during the period
of the war won a place on the national
roll of honor for the dispatch and eff
cheney with which all quotas for hospi-
tai supplies, surgical dressings and
knitted garments were turned out, may
maintain this reputation after hostili-
ties have ceased, an appeal has been
made to Hood River women to resume
their Red Cross activities.
Following the armistice, according to
to officers of the Chapter. many women,
believing their services no longer need
ed, dropped out of Red Cross work.
The Chapter, however, has been noti-
fled that it must furnish quota of COO
refugee garments by June /. This
quota was based on the workers during
war time, but resumption of work on
the part of many workers who dropped
their Red Cross work will be necessary
If the quota is met.
Beginning next Monday the Chapter
will conduct "a week. campaign for
cast.otf and second hand clothing.
The need of Red Cross work was
never so great as at the present mo.
ment, officers of the Chapter say
Hundreds of thousands of destitute
men and women of the allied countries
of Europe are needing clothing anC
other merciful ministrations. Their
only hope is the American Red Cross.

Prospects for heavy yield of high

the weather since January have been
such as to make all orchard and farm
work later than in normal seasons, the
heavy precipitation, almost foot, and
the temperature low enough TO prevent
the swelling of fruit buds, growers
welcome the raiufalls on the lower
levels and the heavy snow blankets
that appear on adjacent fangesides

W water indicate heavy fruit Yields.
Orchards of all districts are reported
healthy. Fruit spurs. by which the
grower is able roughly to estimate the
seasons yield even before blossoms
appear, are in abundance everywhere.
Growers are very busy at present haul
ing from Hood River and valley sta
tions of the Mount Hood line materials
for spray solutions. Within the next
week the exhaust of power spray ma
chimes will be heard throughout the
