Gentlemen: When I left Nor-
man it wds my hope to be able to
return soon and resume my work
■with my church there. But the
chaplains will not be discharged
until the men are all mustered out.
That means I am here for the win-
ter and made it necessary for me
to resign my pastorate there and
move my residence from your city.

children. The matter was dis
cussed in all its bearing and the
"slackers" are to be notified to
appear before the Council and
explain their dereliction. In con
nection with this matter the fol-
lowing resolutions were unani
mously passed::
Whereas, the National and State
State Councils of Defense recog-
nize that to fail or refuse to as-
sit the American Red Cross at this
time, except for actual financial
inability, constitutes the most con-
temptible form of slackerism, and
Whereas, The need of funds for
the- various works of relief here
and abroad in the hands of the Red
Cross is as essential now as during
the period of active hostilities and
will continue so for months to
come; therefore be it
Resolved, That it be the sense
of the Cleveland County Council of
Defense that every man, woman
and child residing vin said county
should and of right ought to enroll
themselves as members of the Red
Cross. Be it further
Resolved. That the names of all
heads of families failing or refus-
ing to so enroll the members of
his family, unless justified by fi-
nancial inability and upon such a
showing, duly excused, shall be
I published in the local papers, made
a permanent record in the minutes
| of Cleveland County Council of De-
j fense and furnished to the State
! Council of Defense for record in
j Oklahoma Historical Society.
Resolved, that a copy of this res-
! olution be spread upon the minutes
j of the Cleveland County Council
| of Defense and a copy furnished
to the local newspapers for publi-
I cation.
The campaign is progressing
| fairly satisfactorily considering
the bad weather and prevalence of
j the flu. At Lexington, nearly all
5 the work are sick themselves or
j have members of their families
1j sick, and Mrs. E. J. Keller was
j sent there on Wednesday to help in
I the work. At Noble a crimp ap-
pears to have been put in the work
by the refusal of a prominent mer-
chant to do his duty, setting a bad
example. The work in Norman is
being pushed, but workers are not
satisfied with the position taken
by a number of well to do citizens
in declining to take out member-
ships for their children. The state-
ment made in some of the schools
that Junior Red Cross member-
ships could be taken for 25 cents
each, has also been confusing.
There is no such thing as a "Junior
Red Cross Membership for 25
cents." Every child is expected
to take out a regular membership
at $1 00. All these things are :n
the process of being ironed out,
and there is no doubt Cleveland
county will be found doing her full
duty when all the returns are ra-
ceived.
"Christmas Shower"
Their friends and parishioners
to the number of 150 or more met
at the M. E. Church, South, on
Wednesday night and gave Rev.
and Mrs. S. C. Walker a "Christ-
mas Shower," b inging in a large
supply of good ihings to eat and
wear and a goodly purse. The
hours were spent in social enjoy-
ment, and at a late hour they dis-
persed. writing their p\stor and
wife and family a Merry Christ-
mas and Happy and Prosperous
New Year. No refreshments were
served, it being against the prin-
ciples of the donors to take a lot
of eatables to a pastor and eat
them all up before they left, as is
too often done.
Rev. Walker's service as pas-
tor during the past year has been
most acceptable to the church, and
all were pleased to know that he
would be here another year. He
is an excellent pulpit orator and a
most conscientious pastir.

OPTIMISTIC.
Nothing serious today. The
shadows heve all gone and we see
nothing but a bright future for
Norman, with natural gas ap-
proaching to keep the home fires
burning, with a beautiful Audito-
rium rising on the campus
grounds, and the gateway to the
east being- adorned by new build-
ings and with a strong determina-
tion in the minds of many to pave
East Main street, which will
lengthen the automobile drive.
With these things in view, why
i u:d we not be optimistic about
the coming beauty of our city.
We have further visions of
crowning beauty that will be added
to Edwards Park in the spring
time; the gift of a friend, and ev-
erybody is a friend to these things
that will make our city more at-
tractive, and that is why we love
Norman and all that it contains,
except the Red Rooster and his
crow. THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
