RED CROSS NEEDS YOUR
DONATION - YOU NEED THE
AMERICAN RED CROSS

During the month of March
the people of Richland county,
and from all over our country,
will be asked to help finance a
wonderful organization, The
American Red Cross.
OF course, everyone knows
about the work of the Red Cross,
but often we forget the varied
fields in which this organization
works for the aid and benefit of
the American people. And SO in
March, the Richland County
Chapter of the American Red
Cross plans to tell in a series of
articles in The Sidney Herald,
and on your radio station, KICK,
the special services which the
Red Cross gives for everyone of
you.
The Red Cross is chartered by
congress and charged with pro-
viding volunteer aid to the sick
and wounded, to assist in COM
m%unications between men and
their families, and to give other
help. But no government funds are
appropriated by Congress for its
financing. These must be collect
ed through the generosity of the
American people by volunteer
workers in every community. The
Richland County Chapter is or
ganizing for this task in our own
area and sometimes during March
a worker will try to contact YOU.
But sometimes workers are few,
and weather and spring roads
may make it impossible to reach
every person, so if you are miss
ed in the funds canvass, contri-
buttons can be sent to the Chap
ter Fund Drive Chairman John
Hall, or to Henry Schepens,
Chapter President.
The Red Cross is primarily a
service organization, giving aid
in ten different programs. These
ten are disaster services such as
hurricanes and tornadoes, fires,
floods, earthquakes, bombings,
ETC.; blood services, including the
Red Cross Bloodmobile which will
visit Sidney March 10; First Aid
services; services to the Armed
Forces; and services to veterans
and their families; teaching SER
vices which include water safety;
nursing services: Junior Red Cross
services; community services; and
international services.
It's second great field is relief
work, which is often inseparable
from many of its service pro-
grams, both in helping when
some disaster strikes, and in
training volunteer workers for
work in such disasters.
Among Red Cross workers 1873
out of each 1874 are such volun-
teers, who serve without pay of
any sort. The 134th worker is

you will be asked for donations
to the American Red Cross.
Please give generously this year,

TO OUR MANY FRIENDS

IVY QoDdAl dilQ OQl LIlltc SOllS
join me in an attempt to express
appreciation to all of you folks
who did so many gracious things,
following my accident of Deem
Der g., and for the many, many
cards, letters, gifts, flowers, and
plants sent me during the nine
weeks l spent in the hospital and
since l returned home.
We also want to express appre-
citation for the many inquiries re-
garding my husbands sister, Mrs.
Helen Regain, while she was hos
pitalized in Glendive and at
Rochester, Minnesota. And we es-
pecially want to thank Mrs. Aus
tin Paulson for her kindness to
Mrs. Regain at Rochester, while
waiting for transportation to the
Hospital. Mrs. Regain, her many
friends in this area will be glad
to learn, is completely recovered
and back at her school and no
surgery was involved.
We also want to express appre-
citation for the many words of
coincidence at the passing of my
husbands brother, VIM. P. Clark,
in Escalon, California.
To DR.. R. A. Hyde for his ex-
cellent care, and his patience
when I became discouraged on
several occasions.
To the entire Hospital Stat
for the courtesies shown me anc
folks, how very fortunate we are
to have our local Hospital and
the efficient manner in which it
is managed;
To the registered nurses, the
licensed practical nurses and
nurses aids, who attended me
during those long weeks and each
of whom tried in so many ways
to make me comfortable;
To Rev. McLain for our many
nice visits, and to Father McDer-
mott, who stopped in my room
many evenings, with his infectious
smile and ready wit and always
afforded me pleasure with his
interesting conversation.
We find words inadequate to
express our appreciation and my
only recourse is to quote part of
"The fasteners Prayer"
ST pray the prayer the Fasteners
do,
May the peace of Allah abide
with you.
Wherever you stay,-wherever
you go
May the beautiful palms of
Allah grow:
And I touch my heart as the
fasteners do,
May the peace of Allah abide
with you"

The Old Wagon Trail

(By M. L. HOffStOt)
A neighbor of mine had a birth
day today.
One hundred years old. Well,
what do you know!
And the tale he tells seems far,
far away;
Doesn't seem real, but 1T must
be so
That he followed the trail,
through cactus and sage,
Over unfriendly plains toward
the setting sun.
Felt the blazing heat, and the
hot winds rage;
Heard the lowing bulls when the
day was done.
Today we may cross the Plains
in a day;
And here in the sky where the
%airplanes fly,
One looks down on a land that
stretches away
Where cities and farms slip
silently by.
The picture is squared with crops
growing green;
The old trail no longer meanders
about,
For the highway below is cut
level and clean
To blot out, forever, the old
wagon route.
Somewhere below, in the year
s~ixty-five,
A young boy rode over this self
same place;
And ten miles a day was thought
quite a drive
When the wagons crawled at a
snail-like pace.
Then, somewhere below, the buff
falo passed;
An Indian watched from some
lonely hill,
Or, an unbridged river was
crossed, at last,
And camp was made In the
evenings chill.
Ninety-three years has seen much
change,
For comforts, today, are consider
ed ones due.
Now our plane wings over a
higher range
To grant me another exciting
view
Where sunset gilds a rocky
slope,
Just as it did so long ago
When valiant men needs stumble
and grope
To find a way through the maze
below.
Then I caught a glimpse of a
stately pine
Beside a stream in a sheltered
vale,
And l knew at once, in this
vale of mine,
Were all the secrets of the
vanished trail
For the whispering pine would
surely know,
And be glad to tell its tales 10
me,
AS a shell picked up where strong
tides flow,
Forever win sing the tales of the
seal
