TO BE RAISED:
Local Chapter of the Red Cross Is
Required to Secure Sum of Money
To Purchase 100 (Jiffs lor
Soldiers and Sailors
TIME IS SHORT TO RAISE FEND
The local chapter of the Rod Cross
has been asked to raise $100 at least
for 100 Christmas packets which will
be part of an immense number to be
distributed to the soldiers and sailors
of Uncle Sam abroad and at home.
The contributions in Seward must
be for $1. as this is the price of the

raise its 100 pacbets or gifts, the
money is being solicited and this will
be wired to Seattle where the boxes
will be made up. The local donations
must be wired by the lirat of the
month and the ladies are especially
interested in raising their quota of
the packets. Contributions can be
•given to any n\omber of the local
chapter or left at the Gateway’s of
fice.
In a circular sent out by the Na
tional Red Cross officers the following
suggestions were made as to the ar
ticles to be given the soldiers and
sailors:
Khaki-colored handkerchief, 27-in
ches square, for container; writing
paper pad, about 7 by 10 inches; en
velopes; pencil; postals; book, (in pa
per cover); Scrapbook, home-made,
containing a good short story, some
