RED CROSS SALVAGE
SHOP IN EVERY CITY
is CONTEMPLATED

Establishment of Red Cross sal
wage shop in every city and town Of
the Southwestern Division Of the
Red Cross, which includes, Missouri,
Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Okla
homa, is contemplated under ma.
tion-wide plan for conservation that
is being entered into by the national
Red Cross organization according to
an announcement received today from
southwestern divisional Red Cross
headquarters at st. Louis.
The plan is part of n compre-
hensive program Of conservation be-
ing engaged in by the Red Cross in
an attempt to stabilize the cost of liv-
ing, induce thrift and prevent the
wholesome wastage of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars worth Of service
able material that is annually dis
carded from American homes.
In brief it is , proposed that the
Red Cross Shop" in each city or
town shall become a salvage headquar-
ters. Donations Of clothing, furni'
ture book, papers, automobile tires,
tin foil and waste OF all kinds regu-
larly will be received, reclaimed and
sold for the benefit of the Red Cross
cause. The money derived from such
sales will accrue directly to each local
Red Cross chapter and is to be spent
as they direct.
One OF the principal activities Of the
proposed salvage shops will be the
remaking of donated clothing into
serviceable garments for use Of refu
gees in the war-torn districts Of Eu'
rope. Baby clothes will be specialized
in. 1t is planned to re-establish on
somewhat smaller scale the sewing
days that were feature Of Red Cross
headquarters throughout the country
during the war.
Not all the clothing thus reclaimed
will go to foreign fields. Some viii
be used by the local Red Cross home
service sections in outfitting needy
families. Some will be sold and Ger
tain percentage will be held in re
serve for rehabilitating families who
have lost all worldly goods in future
disasters.

REDWOOD MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY,
Legion Plans for
Armistice Day
PARADE, FOOTBALL GAME, A. r.
C. LECTURE AND BIG DANCE
TO BE SOME OF FEATURES

The members of Melvin Daskam
Post are planning a real celebration
for Armistice Day Thursday, Novem-
Der II. The day is planned as spe-
cial reunion for exservice men, with
each other and with their friends, and
the program is arranged with this in
view.
Two bands will be on hand to fur
nish the music throughout the day.
The program will start with parade
consist Of the members of the local
Post of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, the ex-service men and the Boy
and Girl Scouts. Following the par
ade the ladies Of the Auxiliary will
furnish free lunch to the Grand
Army members and the ex-service men.
This lunch will be served in the din
ing room of the Armofy and will con-
sist of hot roast beef sandwiches,
mashed potatoes, doughnuts and cof-
fee. The presentation of Victory
Buttons will follow the luncheon, the
time for this ceremony having been
set at one-forty-five.
At three o'clock the big football
game of the Legion's season will be
called at the fair grounds. The team
opposing the local Legionaires is the
Renville team which is a strong team
in itself and it is rumored will be fur
ther strengthened for the occasion by
the assistance of a college-team man
or two. Redwood Falls has yet to be
scored on this season and the game
has all the marks of being real con-
test.
At seven-thirty there will be an il
lustrated talk On Red Cross work, CIV
en- by Miss Bender of the Northern
Division headquarters in the drill
room of the Armory. This
will be followed by a dance for
which the New Dream orchestra will

daily invited to take part in all the
features of the program and the busi-
ness men of the city will cooperate
with the Legion by closing their re-
spective places of business all after
noon. The Legion is entitled to the
full and complete support of all the
citizens of the community and in no
other way can this support be given SO
practically and substantially as by
taking part in the Armistice Day
program
