The Red Cross IN North Dakota has
never closed its doors since wartime.
When the need to send vast numbers
!of supplies overseas in answer to
the nations call was no longer heard,
tie Red Cross commenced to function
as the clearing house for community
problems.
Today In many counties in every
part of the state, the Red Cross head
quarters and the worker are meeting
and helping to solve the various COM
munity and personal problems. Under
skilled supervision the problems of de-
cency, delinquency and mental and
physical detectives are being admin
istered. -
Among the counties where espe-
cially strong programs in this rural
social service work have been pre-
scented byRed Cross chapters are
Cass, Divide, Bottineau. Burley, Stark.
Billings, Slope, Dunn and Mckenzie.
Especially good work along child well
fare lines ID also being carried on.
Throughout the state this and other
phases o the health program are

big things for Minot and this section OF

the afternoons and the carnival run
ming at night, Minot people and visitors
to the city will be enabled to. attend
both events without sighting one or
the other. Travelling men working out
Of Min0t report widespread interest In
the carnival and show, and we have
every reason to expect thousands aof
visitors In Minot for the three days.
1t is planned to have rooms in private
homes listed, in the event that hotels
become crowded, and In that way every
one who comes 70 the city will be
taken care of properly"
An interesting feature Of the carni-
val will be the use of French money
In several denominations at all booths
and sideshows. Foreign money has
been used In other carniyals la other
cities and has aided materially In max
ing for their success.
The carnival will close Saturday
