Jr. Red Cross Boxes
Will Go to Europe;
7 Allotted Each Room
The American Junior Red Cross
is sponsoring the preparation and
shipment of boxes of supplies needed
by school childlren in Europe. This
school is a member of the Junior
Red Cross, and its quota amounts
to approximately seven boxes per
home room. If the students can not
bring the needed articles, they may
contribute funds for that purpose.
The campaign is under the direction
of the student council.
Pencils, paper, washcloths, soaps,
needles, thread and numerous other
articles are needed. The factories of
Europe which were not destroyed
were engaged in war work. Produc
tion of the so-called “luxury goods”
ceased entirely. Now, with the re
turn of peace, these articles are
desperately needed overseas. The
American Junior Red Cross is at
tempting to meet this need with
th aid! of its high school members.
Each home room has been sup
plied with seven boxes to be filled.
Homeroom chairmen, who will col
lect money and supplies, have been
appointed and accumulation of the
desired articles is under way.
