Eighth Grade Commencement
The pupils of the eighth grade
of Cashion public schools enter-
tained the patrons of the school
at the Bawn hall Monday even-
ing. Under the guidance of their
teacher, Miss Winifred Statton,
they have just completed an ex-
cellent year's work as the enter- j
tainment they rendered Monday
evening bespeaks. They gave an ;
excellent program and from the
number of patriotic songs and
wall decorations it shows that
they have been taught the love
of country as well as the ordi-
nary studies. This is Miss Stat-
tons second year in the Cashion
school and each year both the
seventh and eighth grade pupils
have progressed rapidly under
her tutelage.
Miss Faye Smith and Miss
Eunice Anderson are visiting at
the home of Miss Smith s sister,
Mr. and Mrs. I. Stone.

Red Cross Drive Starts
Monday May 20
Red Cross Workers Will Call on j
You Next Week For Funds to
Keep The Hand of Mercy at
Work. Be Ready With
Your Donation and Give

$100,000,000 Must Be Raised
On Monday May 20 will be
launched the campaign for rait-
ing $100,000,000 for the war
fund of the Red Cross. Less
than a year ago the Red Cross
called upen the American people
for a fund of one hundred mil
lion dollars from which to fi-
nance the tremendous work of
relief and reconstruction that
was vital to our allies and our-
selves, if the German terror was
to be beaten back.
Necessity as well as Humanity
| compelled the work, for while
i the gallant Allied armies were
j grimly winning a way to Victory,
t suffering and want were taking
! dreadful toll among fehe civil
1 populations from which all arm-
i ies must draw their strength.
If the morale of the Entente
was to be upheld—if the War
' was to be Won, practical releif
• must be forthcoming on a scale
I greater and far more reaching |
, than the world had ever seen,
i To do this was the work of the <
| American Red Cross, and so the
call came for the first War Fund j
land in one week America's j
answer went echoing back to
Europe—more than a hundred
million was freely given to make
the world fit for Democracy.
At that time the membership of
the Red Cross was less than two
million. In six months it had
increased to five million and
with the Christmas Membership
Drive the enrollment sprang in
one mighty bound to twenty
million supporters.
j That the one hundred million
asked for in the coming drive
will be over subscribed goes
without saying. The indiffer
ence of a year ago is a thing of
! the past. The war-the great!
common cause—seems to have
drowned out what little indiffer- J
ence there was. Wre have been j
I united, as a nation, as never be- j
| fore. The situation now is dif-
1 ferent than the one of a year ago.
when the First War Fund was |
