Junior Red Cross Gift Box Project l • The first two weeks in April are the dates set for the annual Junior Red Cross gift box project for the elementary schools of Adams epunty, according to Junior Red Cross chairman, Glennys Roop. Letters have been sent to all the elementary schools of the county* requesting the number of boxes they wish to fill this year. Hansel Foley, county superintendent of schools? is working with Miss Rooff in conducting the project. Members of the Junior Red Cross have long carried on a project of packing gift boxes for /children in other lands. Although tqe boxes are small, only 9x9x3 inches, they hpld a surprising, number of ( items, including school and health supplies, toys, and a few recreational and personal articles. 'Each box bears the words, “Gift of the schools of the, United States of America through the American Junior Red Cross.” The boxes are filled qs a gesture of friendship toward children in other countries. Each box filled represents the value of more than 82. The good will and morale value cannot be estiiriated, the said. Last year the project in Adams county was quite successful. It is hoped thj)t even more boxes will be packed this year. Union Worker* The. Union Township Workers held their first meeting \at the Immanuel Lutheran school Thursday evening.
