tricts and sufficient supplies to each
family to enable It to stand on its
feet.
Because of tornadoes, the Gulf and
Lake Divisions were called upon TO
send emergency relief with trained
workers into nearly 80 communities
The record of last year emphasizes
the need of abundant preparedness
along the line of disaster relief and
has resulted in the organization of
Disaster Preparedness Committees by
about 400 chapters and the setting
aside Of special emergency fund by
the National organization of S5,0OO,-
/ 900 in addition to the regular annual
appropriation for this purpose made
in its budget.
Another feature OF Red Cross work
which has been greatly extended the
past year is the Home Service in the
familis Of civilians, patterned after
the Home Service which rendered
assistance to the 100000 families Of
soldiers and sailors during the war
This service, which was inaugur-
ated late last year, was extended to
600 families during the year covered
by the annual report. It is furnished
only where there is no other estab-
lished agency Sfor performing this
especial class of public service, and
is confined TO chapters Of the Red
Cross which comply with certain re-
strictions intended to maintain stand
ards and perpetuate the work Ap-
proximately 1000 chapters have
made application for such authority
and 573 have been given the desired
permission This plan Of extension
contemplates not only the conduct of
general family welfare work, but the
seeking out and developing of de-
mands for other forms of community
service and securing the cooperation
Of specialized organizations to fill
these needs

The executive committee of the
Ministerial Alliance of Kansas City,
Kan, today officially endorsed the
Good Roads Amendment No. 8 to be
voted on in Kansas on Nov. 2 and
passed a resolution recommending
that every minister in Kansas City,
Kan, as well as every minister in the
State of Kansas devote portion of
the services on Sunday morning, Oct.
"a, to explaining the provisions OF
amendment No. 8 and giving reasons
why every progressive citizen of the

Their chief reasons for taking this

greatest obstacle in the way of edu-

Guarantors of the Normal Activities
Meet

Following the Chamber of Com
merce Luncheon last Tuesday noon,
H. ]. Tholen, President of the Cham
Der of Commerce, called a meeting
of the activity guarantors and the
matter Of supporting the Normal
School Activities by the sale of Activ-
ity tickets was thoroughly discussed.
In a report by Mr.. Lee it was made
clear that the guarantee was not con-
sidered as support for the Normal
School Activities, but rather was in
the nature of insurance and that sup
port must cone through the sale of
tickets. Speeches were made by Mr..
Maxwell, Mr.. Cochran, Mr.. O'Lough-
lin and President Lewis. The guar
antors voted to have a committee of
guarantors to place the remaining
activity tickets.

The Tigers Played Haskell Last
Friday


The Normal Tigers played a game
of football with the Haskell Indians,
October 18th, at Lawrence. The
Tigers put up fine game against the
agile Indians and succeeded in scor-
ing a touchdown within three min
utes after the game started. The
final score was 33 to 6 in favor of
Haskell.
The Tigers were not at their best
because some of the regular team
were laid up with injuries. Reece
Cave and Bunny Gross did fine work
in the game. The most spectacular
play for the Tigers was made by
Lynn Ordway when he overlook one
of HaskelPs fleet men and saved a
larger score from being piled up.
The substitutes were: Grass for
Bunny Gross, Hicks Gross for OPP
dycke, Hampton for Harold, and
Cowan for Fink. The Haskell Indians
are considered one of the finest
teams in the country and it is quite
a compliment to our boys that they
scored a touchdown.
Coach Rock Woodward was taken
i'll in Lawrence just before the
Haskell game last week, and has been
in the hospital since. He is, however,
improving and will be back on the
Job within a few days.
