RED CROSS ROLL CALL

The Red Cross chapters in Colorado
will embark on Armistice Day on the
Fifth Annual Red Cross Roll Call
which will continue until the even
ing of Thanksgiving Day and in
which it is hoped to enroll every one
who is now member of the Red
Cross and to add many new names to
the roster. Chapters throughout the
state, including those in the two
large cities, Denver and Pueblo, are
thoroughly organized for the Roll
Call, and much enthusiasm is report
ed in all districts. The chapters
have been busily engaged informing
their public of the work they have
accomplished during the last year
with the purpose of letting every one
know just what the dollar member
ships which the Red Cross is asking,
will do in the communities where
they are enrolled.
The entire peace-time program of
the Red Cross is being outlined in
detail in its specific application to
each community SO that the public
will understand the true reasons for
Red Cross activities now since the
war is ended. This program includes
the discharge of Americas obligation
to it's disabled ex-service men in the
way of vocational training, acting as
agent for obtaining over due compen-
sation and allotment for soldiers,
finding employment for the well ex-
soldiers and ex-sailors and assisting
the disabled ones to obtain the kind
of medical or hospital care they need.

$500 QUOTA FOR GUNNISON
FOR STATE HOSPITAL
This City Must Raise This Amount If
1t Contributes Its Share of the
S200.0O0 Now Being Asked by the
State University.

| One dollar from each man and wife
in Gunnison means $3.50, according to
the quota which has been assigned
this city by the University as its fair
apportionment of the 100000 now
being asked of the people of the
state for the establishment of the
new state general hospital.
The University is asking 100000
persons to invest 81 each toward the
establishment of new state general
hospital for the care of INDECENT sick
and injured. This means that every
producing adult in the state must
contribute 81.
During the week of November %,
to December 8, house-to-house can
vass' will be made in practically every
city and town in the state and in or
der to provide a definite object tive for
each community, the University has
assigned quotas for all cities and
towns to be canvassed.
In assigning these quotas or appor-
tionments the population figures as
shown in the 1921 Colorado Year
Book was used. The estimate of the
United States Census Bureau, that
the average family numbers four and
one-half, was used as means for de-
termining the number of families
in community. Assuming that each
family has two heads, so to speak, a
man and his wife, the number of fam
lilies was multiplied by two and the
result assigned as quota By using
this method the quotas assigned are
low in comparison to the total num-
ber of producing adults in the COM
munities to be canvassed, but accord
ing to University authorities, if every
city and town will make it's quota,
the 100000 will be raised and the
great gift of 100000 from the Gen.
eral Education Board will come to
Colorado. In order to raise the quota
it will be necessary to make an ef-
fort in this community to obtain 81
from each producing adult to COM
pensate for some heads of families
who may be missed.
The first contribution to the fund
was for $500 and the second was for
$4,000. In announcing this, the Uni
versity calls attention to the fact
that contributions of more than 81
can be made whenever an individual
feels disposed to do so. The work of
organizing for the canvass November
%, to December 8, will be begun in
this city within few days.

hot lunches, and instruction in health
habits to children, teachers and par
ents.
Financial support for this work OF
the Colorado tuberculosis Association
is derived from the sale near Christ
mas time of Christmas Seals. Organ
izations have been perfected in every
county in Colorado for the campaign
of 1921, which will take place during
the week of December A. Five per
cent. of the money raised from the
sale of Christmas Seals is sent to the
national headquarters. Ninety-five
per cent. is used locally.
Gunnison county needs county
nursing service which local Seal Sale
money can help to establish.

Armistice Day Program

The patriotic program which was
given by the school at the Princess
Theatre last Friday afternoon was
well attended by both young and old
and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Prof. Clayton opened the program
by few remarks after which the
audience sang america, the Beauti-
full" Then there were readings re-
garding Armistice Day, the war, its
causes, ETC., by Minnie Boyd, Irene
Kerr, Slavka Kuretich, Peter Gardi-
ner and George Songer.
A number of songs were sung by
the pupils of the lower grades.
Prof. Mccormick then related some
of his experiences in France which
were very interesting indeed and
Prof. Tinsley's talk on the Chinese
and Japanese question was greatly
enjoyed.
The program was closed by the
song, Battle Hymn of the Republic" i"
by the audience.
Gotten up in short order and excep-
tionally good was this program and
from the remarks we have heard
since Friday, we are sure it was en-
joyed by all present and that those
who failed to attend missed treat.

HEALTH CRUSADERS

What is the Modern Health Crusade
that we are hearing of from our chill
dren at school? The Colorado Tuber-
culosis Association, which is trying to
introduce this into all the schools of
the States, writes that it is a most
successful movement started by the
National tuberculosis Association, to
teach children the fundamental hab-
it's of health.
Each Crusader is charged with per-
forming eleven health chores" daily
A record is kept of each crusaders
proficiency and his standing in the
"army' depends on this record. Keen
est competition develops among the
children.
The "chores" which the children
pledge themselves to perform are as
follows:
l. washed my hands before each
meal today.
2. washed my face, ears and neck,
and 1 cleaned my fingernails.
3. kept fingers, pencils and every
thing likely to be unclean or injurious
out of my mouth and nose.
a. 1 brushed my teeth thoroughly
after breakfast and after the evening
meal.
5. took ten or more slow, deep
breaths of fresh air. l protected
others if I spit, coughed or sneezed.
6. played outdoors or with win
dows open more than thirty minutes.
l tried hard to sit and stand straight.
Z. was in bed ten hours or more
last night, and kept my windows open.
8. drank four glasses of water,
drinking some before each meal, and
drank no tea, coffee nor any injurious
drinks.
9. l tried to eat slowly, and only
wholesome food including milk, vege-
tables, fruit. I went to toilet at reg
ular times.
10. tried hard to keep neat; to be
cheerful, straightforward and clean
minded; and to be helpful to others.
IL. took full bath on each day
of the week that is checked (x).
Each child begins as a Page AS
he progresses in the work he becomes
full-fedged Crusader with the title
of Squire. He may advance to the
title of Knight, and finally becomes a
Knight Banneret.
Another important element of the
work of the Association is the weigh
ing and measuring of school children.
In survey recently completed in
Denver, it was found that half the
children in nineteen schools were Sc
riously underweight. Similar condi-
tions were found in twenty other
towns of Colorado. The Association
Immediately set out upon campaign
to remedy these conditions by means
of health classes, serving of milk and

A well attended ball was the Mas
querade given by the Crested Butte
Volunteer Fire department on Armi-
stice night. 1t seemed everyone was
there and could the old hall speak we
do not think it could tell of a larger
crowd ever being assembled therein
The hall was beautiful with its dec
orations of the Allied flags, old glory
holding the most prominent place of
course. The music was fine and taken
all together we think everyone en-
joyed themselves immensely. Only
those who were in full costume were
allowed to dance until IL o'clock, at
which time the masks were removed.
The prizes were awarded to Miss Hell
en- Curran, who represented a jockey
and Mr.. Ritter who represented boy.

TWAIN, A BELIEVER
IN ADVERTISING

Mark Twain once edited a news
paper in Mo. One of his subscribers
wrote Mark that he had found a
spider in his paper and wanted to
know whether it meant good or bad
luck. Mark replied:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good luck
nor bad luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper to see
which merchant is not advertising so
that he can go to that store, spin his
web across the door and lead life
of undisturbed peace afterwards"
