CHILDREN ASKED TO SAVE THEIR TINFOIL FOR RED CROSS All Richmond boys and girls are naked to save every scrap of tinfoil I hey can find for the Red Cross. This is something new for Richmond, but boys and girls in many other parts of the country are doing this and earning quite a large sum of money in this way, for the Red Cross can sell the tinfoil to the government and make quite a profit off of it. In California, especially, this Is being done, and in one of the cities alone, the children saved so much that the Red Cross made from $165 to $170 each month, or about two thousand dollars a year. Children can find the tinfoil on f:andy, around films for kodaks, from old tooth paste, paste tubes, from cigars, cigarette boxes, and many other places. Children may be able to get tinfoil from waste piles around garages and mechanical repair shops, and often times even from the street where some careless person has dropped it, when unwrapping a package. After collecting the tinfoil and smothing it out, the loyal Junior workers for the Red Cross may bring the ball which they have saved up to the Red Cross rooms and give it to the lady at the desk by the west door, and she will take

each child's name so that they can be placed on the list of patriotic workers. Since some boys arid girls were already collecting and saving the tinfoil for themselves, it will be a real sacrifice and real patriotic service for them to turn this in to the Red Cross, but since everyone "wants to do all they can for our Soldiers, every Richmond boy and girl will be glad they have a chance to do their bit. The honor roll of patriotic work ers who turn in their tinfoil to the Red Cross rooms, will be published in the Junior. ARLINGTON BY NORTHROPE ELMER Chapter First Part 1. Eric Benson on the morning of November, Saturday tenth, was sitting in his room in the beautiful father were gathered around his bedside. The doctor said he was not strong, and proposed that he tour to the Adirondacks, for his health, in his racer.

They began to pack his clothes and put an extra gasoline tank on the back of the machine. The car was put in perfect order. Then they engaged a car mate for him. The doctor gave him a hypodermic and he was up in an hour or two and dressed. (He has two brothers and two sisters named Apollo and Harry, and Catherine and Marguerite, and the mother, Emily Benson.)

SPRING (Original) , ".. The Spring is here, the Spring is here. The grass gets green, then the birds begin to sing. When the Spring gets here there are no days of drear; The chickens crow, the dogs do bark and for joy sings the lark. Then we go out to the farm and play in the barn; But we play in the hay the most of the day. When night comes the farmer is done, And he comes up to the house to wash his hands, As does also his hired man. When we eat our supper of rork and beans we can hear In the kitchen the tea-kettle sing.

When we've finished supper we hit the bay to dream of the' coming day. John Pinnick. 6B Grade, Starr School THE WHITE SHIP Prince William was the only son of Heny 1 and was greatly beloved by his father. When he reached the age cf eighteen years, he was made the Duke of Normandy. At one time this sovereign and his son were about to return to England. They were approached by a sea captain, Fitz Stephen. "Oh king." he began, "my father was the captain of the good ship that bore your father over the sea to the conquest of England. I also have a fine vessel named "The White Ship' rowed by fifty sturdy sailors. There she is rocking in the bay ready to put to sea. Now let me I pray you steer you to Eng land as my rather steered your father in the days gone by." "I am sorry," replied the king, "that I can not accept your offer, for I have already chosen my vessel." "But my son, the young prince, shall sail with you in 'The White Ship' and you shall follow me to England." The king and his retinue sailed away for their native land. Prince William and his half-sister, accompanied by a party of brave knights and beautiful ladies, boarded "The White Ship." The young prince turned to the captain saying: Bring out three casks of wine and give them to the fifty bold rowers who are to take us across the sea. Bid them drink and be merry, for we shall not start before midnight. The wine was brought, and as the sailors drank, the knights and ladies spent the hours in dancing on the deck by the moonlight The midnight hour was signaled i for starting. And "The White Ship" was homeward bound. There was not a sober sailor on board. Prince William turned to ' the drunken oarsmen with, "Row harder for the honor of 'The White Ship'." On she sped like an arrow, farther and farther into the deep. buddenly there was a fearful con cusslon that made the whole ship iremoie. a deep heavy thud sound ed on the ears of the terrified pass; euserB.

BOYS FIND CHICKEN HAWK One day in June as I was going down to the cornfield I met my brother who was going to hoe corn. As we were walking along before us was a fence on which a chicken hawk sat eating something that he had picked up. He did not pay any attention to brother and me, so J said, as I picked up a rock, "I onder how close I can come to that hawk?" My brother said, "Oh, you couldn't hit the side of a barn." "I will show you," said I, so I took good aim and threw the stone which hit the bird on the neck, which made it fall, so thinking that it was dead, I ran up to it and said to my brother, "I thought 1 could not hit the side of a barn." He said, "You did not kill it." So i saying this he stuck a stick in the bird's mouth and it clinched it with its mouth and feet too. So we got a club and killed it. Isaac Gibson, 6-A grade, .

So what do you think, he made , himself invisible and went right into that man's heart and tok out all his love for that girl and threw it away. So the fairy queen- heard- of it and made him Invisible forever, to punish him for meddling. '

FALL GOSSIP Said Mrs. Maple to bet neighbor,

"Have you got your new fall gown? Mr. Frost has lovely samples That he's brought from Wintertown. "I thought I'd get a yellow, With a woodbine sash of red; Something bright for chilly weather, And that's stylish, Jack Frost said," So when buckeyes, Oaks and maples Were in gold and crimson dressed, Looked they into water mirrors, Seeing which one looked the best. Though the dimpled water laughed and Over this reflection bright, Mr. Frost was very angry When the sun withdrew his light. For his brilliant autumn colors Needed Indian summer light, So he tore their pretty finery And locked up their mirrors tight.

They played out in the garden most of their time and whenever Mary hurt herself she would get mad at June and would not play with her. One day while they were out play ing in the garden, a fairy came up and said to Mary, "Here is a ring, Mary. Mary was very astonished, but she took the ring without thanking her. When they went in to dinner, mother asked Mary to run and get a loaf of bread. She said "No, let June."''1 ' '': But just as she got that part out of her mouth she was on her way to the grocery. She wondered what caused this. Next day the fairy came and told her all about the ring. Mary was very ashamed of herself and ever after that she was very good and did what her mother told her.
