years membership in the Red
Cross costs one dollar.
All persons in the High
lands, in the Horse Heaven
district, in Finley or Hover or
in any other section in the vi
cinity, who have not been So
licited, and who are interest
ed in becoming members OF
the Red Cross may do so by
bringing their dollar to Her
bert Shanafelt, chairman of
the campaign, at the postof-
flee.
A substantial sum was rails
ed here recently for the Flor
ida-Porto- Rico disaster vic
Tins. Some persons have con-
fused this fund with the mem
bership drive. A collection OF
1888 was secured at the
Joint Thanksgiving services
of the Protestant churches OF
the city at the church of the
Nazarene for the Red Cross.
This money, however, is not
used for memberships, but it
will he turned over to the or
ganization to be used as they
see fit in the place where it is
needed most.
1t seems unlikely that the
people of this community are
unappreciative of the great
work of this organization.
Kennewick will undoubtedly
shake off it's lethargy and
reach the goal set for MEM
bers here once the need is
realized.

THE OUTDOOR TREE

THE Yuletide season ap-
i proaches. Loads of stately
evergreens from the noun
tains are arriving and the
tang of cedar boughs and the
sweet smelling pine permeate
the atmosphere. The shop
windows have been gaily dec
grated with shining gifts and
many display cleaning red
fire engines, steam shovels,
and glamorous trains, which
look as if they came direct
from Santa's pack.
There is talk of a commun-
ity Christmas tree. 1t has been
an annual affair, sponsored by
the American Legion post and
it is hoped that the commun-
ity may enjoy one again this
year.
In other towns where the
evergreens grow, the custom
has developed of decorating
trees out-of- doors. Shiny tin
stars, crescents and big bright
circles are used to decorate
the trees and tiny electric
lights ornate them. They sug-
gest a gay and festive spirit
and beautify the community
as well. 1t is a pleasant thot
that every passerby enjoys
ones tree.
While we do not have ever
greens here in their natural
state in any quantity, yet the
trees which are brought in
keep much better if they are
decorated and left out-of- doors
Of course, it is necessary to
use a different type of deco
ration than one would use In
doors, but many interesting
devises can be worked out for
the outdoor tree.
