.-J C 1....., o L.J lull The Bed Cross has started a vig orous campaign to combat misinfor mation and false rumors about " its programs for the armed, forces by wide-spread distribution' on military posts of a poster reminding service men that Red Cross services ana sup plies are given without charge. The poster also invites members of the armed forces to report any vio lation of this policy to their command ing officer or the nearest' Red Cross office. .f-',; -V-'- An initial supply of 13,000 posters has been distributed for, display, in Bed Cross field offices, on military post bulletin ' boards, and at Bed Cross chapters.

BYJ.P.PES2Y Do you remember the old "Perry Schoolhouse"T and the "Graveyard . The schoolhouse was situated about halfway between Hunter's Fork and the Sandy' Ridge Road. The school building was erected by the families of Baker Ward .and Josiah Perry, (my grandfather) for purpose of giving the children In that section bet ter school advantages than was then furnished by the county supplemental work; the building was put up about 40 years ago. First for public school and a little, later Sunday school was held there, a short time afterwards. Preaching services were conducted there quite often. The story was told of an "itenerant" preacher who was If anyone asks peadmtf there On one-occaswn, and you to pay for any of these services m or supplies, please report the facts to Yclg was discouraged and told Kft huuiviivu .

During the years a great many people have been buried there and is best known as "Perry's. School house Graveyard". At first no martf- your commanding officer, or the near est Red Cross office." Payment for Red Cross service was received only during World War II when military authorities insisted that the organization charge for overnight lodging and meals at its overseas clubs which were not in combat areas. No such charges were made in Ko rea. Despite this fact, the Red Cross said, false stories about the sale of I everything from cigarettes to blood have been circulated. The new poster display of which is required in all Red Cross field offices on military installations is designed to help com bat these false rumors by emphasiz ing the fact that the Red Cross is not selling anything to servicemen or servicewomen. .
