The Red Cross Speaks Dryden, March 7—Again the Red

Cross speaks to you, to me, to us all, to help along its glorious work during the next year. Prom 1859 to the present day the Red Cross has been a world-wide organization of aid to the needy, care for the sick, the stfccour to the wounded, in hospitals,—the universal factor of uplifting, healing, and comfort. The names of Clara Barton, of Florence Nightingale, and of hundreds, yes, thousands, of Red Crosjs workers come before our eyes as we review the Red Cross aid in times of famine, pestilence, earthquake, and the ravages of war. And now at the close of World War II, not too far away, we remember the cups of coffee and the doughnuts, in un­limited numbers that the Red Cross workers gave to GI Joe. We note the far away hospitals where the Red Cross served.

At 9:55 p. m. Friday evening our President, Truman called to the whole nation, in his opening of the Red Cross Drive, to stand at at­tention, and give. The Red Cross spirit speaks to us all- We all will lend a hand in this 1946 drive. Mayor O'Dwyer opened this drive in New York Friday and the gifts be­gan to fulfill the city's $10,500,000 quota. Already the $1,000,000 mark is passed!

Here in Tompkins county, Dry­den, N. Y., we can and will present our gift to the Red Cross!

O.E.S. CARD PARTY

Dryden, March 7—The members of the Eastern Star had another very pleasant entertainment last evening. After the starting time, 8:30 p. m., the good-sized crowd started to play cards, several tables of bridge, two at least of 500, and then some of the guests preferred pinochle. All persons present had the best of evenings at these card games. Then there was much mer­riment at the awarding of prizes. One prize happened to be two pack­ages of jello. A lady who received a glass syrup cup as a prize, wished to exchange her package for the jello, but fe no avail as the jello was a coveted possession.

The tables in the dining room set for the coffee, sandwiches, and cake looked very pretty with the lighted candles. One table seemed to be especially decorated. Yes, it was. A large very finely decorated cake J formed the centerpiece of this table, where the special guests of Mr. and Mrs. Stacey Beach sat, and helped them celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Bower, Mr. and Mrs. Strong, and Mrs Allan Beach of Peruville were the out-of-town guests to help cel­ebrate this occasion. And—the very delicious cake went the rounds of all the tables, so that each person had a slice. Certainly the O.E.S. knows how to stage a very delightful party.
