Flowers for Hospital
Red Cross Want Pot Plants for Sick at Fort Sam
Houston.

The American Red Cross at the sta
ton hospital, Fort Sam Houston, is
endeavoring to secure flowers for the
wards of the hospital, to comfort and
cheer the patients on Easter Sunday.
The hospital has approximately six
hundred patients. quite n number of
whom are suffering disability as the
result of injuries of the World War.
and who. due to their condition, will
be inmates of the hospital for some
time TO come. There are also many
patients of the regular army estab-
lishment, who have received serious
disability as n result of duty to their
government.
"For the past four years the citi-
zens of San Antonio have been ex-
tremely kind in remembering this in
stitution on Easter Sunday" said s..
Arthur Shaw, field director. "Pottcd
plants are most acceptable, as they
can be given to sick men, who take
quite n delight and pleasure in nursing
the plant from day to day. Cut flowers
and wild flowers are also most accept
able, and go a long way in identifying
the wards of the hospital on the glor-
ious day of Easter. Mere words can
not begin to express the joy that flow
ers bring into the hearts of the sick
"Those who wish to assist us in our
effort can deliver the flowers to the
Red Cross Convalescent building, sta
ton hospital, Fort Sam Houston. Red
Cross worker will be on duty at the
building to receive flowers, Friday,
Saturday and Easter Sunday. As soon
as flowers are received proper distri-

HELP THE FIREMEN

On the night Of February %, Wash
ington's birthday anniversary, the
Grangeyille Volunteer Fire department
will give its annual bali in Dreamland
hall
The event is for the purpose of rails
ing funds for support of the volunteer
fire fighters, and it is the only time in
the entire year that the firemen call
on. tie people of Grangeville for finan-
cial support. 1t. therefore, behooves
every person, and particularly property
owners in the city, to purchase tickets
to thu ball, whether or not they at
tend The dance.
To those who enjoy dancing, the an
nual firemen's ball proves a pleasing
soc; i event. But the. mere fact that
ono does not attend dances is no excuse
for failure to support the fire laddies.
who are ever alert to answer the call
when an alarm of fire is sent from
your home or my hOme-ever ready to
face the perilS OF fire-f1ghting, and
with never cent of reward.
1t should he remembered, also. that
the money raised from sale of tickets
to the firemen's bali is not devoted to
the personal use of members of the
fire department. but goes into the de
partment treasury for purchase of new
equipment
To the property owner, there is no
cause more worthy than that of the
firemen. Do not fail to buy literally
when the ticket statesmen call on you.
and. should You be overlooked. hunt
them mp and buy ticket or two, or
five, anyway

AN AUDITORIUM
Chamber of Commerce Will
Try To Start Something
Monday Night

\ movement to organize 4
stock company to build an
auditorium suitable to the civic
and theatrical needs of the city
will be launched at the rcgu-
lar monthly meeting OF the
Elizabeth City Chamber OF
Commerce Monday night,
March 19. The meeting will
be open to all citizens, regard
less of their affiliation with
the Chamber of Commerce.
Elizabeth City is in the cmbaraS-
sing position of being without an
auditorium or theatre capable of seat
ing Il large audience or of staging any
prctcntiouS theatrical production
The .Alkrama Theatre ScrycS the city
well aS 4 moving picture house. but
il i utterly unSuitcd TO theatrical
productions and will seat less than
500 persons. The High School audi
forum is utterly inadequate and the
public never has taken to il. 1t is
said that the auditorium in the new
IIieh School building now under con-
ytruction will not be much better than
the old one.
The County Court House, some
times used for mass meetings, will
seat less than 100 people and there
are many Occasions when the city
needs an auditorium seating upwards
Of 800 people. Tha city itself should
build and own such an auditorium.
but there is not enough civic pride
and political intelligence in the town
to elect Board of Aldermen with
vision enough to undertake such Il
municipal venture.
There are some among the more
progressive members of the Chamber
of Commerce who believe that enough
stock can be subscribed in the town
to build modern auditorium and
PLAYHOUSE in the heart or near the
heart Of the business section and that
thr rentals from the auditorium and
offices and stores in the building
would pay an attractive dividend on
the investment. The idea will be
thraShcd out in the meeting Monday
night and a!l those who are Interested
should get into the meeting.
