Col His Goat;
But This Is No
Laughing Matter

Somebody got Hans Wolfram's
goat the other day. But it's no
laughing matter.
Wolfram is offering $50 reward
for information leading to the APP
prehension and conviction of the
person or persons who stole or
sabotaged' his white, hornless,
milking doe.
Not only was the doe the leader
of the herd, but she was the mother
of two now orphaned, kids. The
rest of the herd, lacking a leader,
doesn't know when its time to come
back to the barn now
Anyone having information is
asked to contact Wolfram by writ
ing Pc. Box 1921, or seeing him in
person at the Ravenhorst Goat
Dairy.

Red Cross Activities
Top Previous Records
Despite Less Help

Red Cross activities in the Dis
trict during the past year shattered
all previous records, despite de-
crease IN the number of volunteer
workers and their hours of service,
the District Red Cross chapter said
last night IN a statistical report.
The drop in the number OF volun-
teers, which reduced the total hours
OF volunteer service from more than
2,500,000 in 1912 to approximately
2,015,164 this year, was attributed
largely to rumors of impending
peace and to the series of Allied VIC
tories. The serious shortage of do
mestic help here and the movement
|of many volunteers into paid Jobs
also were listed as factors.
Major failures during the wear
were in the efforts to obtain nurses
for service with the armed forces
and volunteers for home nursing
work.
Nurse Campaign Lags.
The campaign to recruit nurses for
the armed forces Tagged lament
ably" throughout the year until the
last six weeks, when there has been
a marked increase in the number
|of applicants, the report stated
Even with the year-end squirt, only
21O nurses were obtained, against the
Districts quota of 426 for the year.
Only 1000 women volunteers ac-
Iquired certificates in home nursing
though the goal for the year was
$500. Last year 2,635 women were
enrolled in the home nursing pro-
gram.

however, the District Red Cross had
accomplishments to report in many
fields. The Blood Donor Center
