CREEK COUNTY IN
STUDENT CAMPAIGN
"GOES OVER TOP"
TWELVE STUDENTS ENROLLED,
THREE OF WHOM ARE
FROM DRUMRIGHT
Creek county is keeping up her rep-
utation by "going over the top'' in
the campaign for student nurses. The
quota of twelve has been secured. The
campaign will last for a week longer.
Three young ladies of DrumrUh*
enrolled, but their names have not yet
been given out. Two others from
Oilton enrolled and the rest of the
quota was made up from Sapulpa,
Kellyville and Kiefer.
The local chapter of the Red Cross
has worked diligently in an effort to
secure enrollments and the ladies
here deserve much credit for their ef-
forts. For a time it appeared that
Creek county would not raise her
quota, but the county has never yet
failed to make good on anything un-
dertaken and in the matter of student
nursts it forged ahead.
