Dear Boys and Girls:
How many of you are members of the Junior Red Cross ? I hope all of you are because Juniors this was organized so that every child in America might have the chance tc help win the war. It is true that all of us can not buy thrift and
war saving stamps or Liberty bonds but we can all sign the
pledge of service. Membership of the Junior Red Cross is open to all boys and girls in attendance on the public, private or parochial
schools. So Juniors sign the pledge and help make your
school a hundred percent school. This is the one thing in which your school can have a hundred percent. The Junior Red Cross will teach you to save so that children in the other parts of the world can have a chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare some of the supplies that the soldiers and their families lack and best of all it will teach you how to be good citizens of this great country. So Juniors show your patriotism again and join the Junior Red Cross. This is your one great chance to serve your country. AUNT MOLLY.

MY EASTER I am a little Belgian girl. I am very poor. It was the day before Easter and I felt very sad because I knew I would not get any Easter eggs like .the other children. One girl came up to me and asked me If I was going to get any eggs for Easter. I said "I don't think so." Tne next morning I did not find any eggs and I cried very hard. Just about noon I heard some one
knocking at the door. I opened it
and who should I see but a little white bunny carrying a little white Easter basket filled with eggs. He handed me the basket and in it was a note. They were
from the little girl that came to
me and asked me whether I was
going to get any eggs. I wrote a note back to her and told her that
the egg3 were very nice. In the basket were many eggs
There were red ones, blue ones and some that had pictures on them. I ran out and told my friends all about it A little girl and I had a party with them and
they were very good. That was
the best Easter I ever had. Mar

Francis Carpenter. Francis Wilburn Carpenter, one of iiie- most popular of child screen actors was born in Glenwood Springs, Colo.. July 9. 1911. His earliest ambition was to he a policeman, after which he decided that the life of the cowpuncher was just the thing. Since he has taken to acting, however, he has discovered that William Farnum is the summum bonum, the dolce far niente and all those other foreign phrases. If Francis could be as great a scout as William Farnum he'd be happy for life. Francis's education was begun at the Fine Arts school for child actors in Hollywood. After he had been there two weeks he changed his acting address to the Fox studio and took his slate along with him. At the For school he has learned to read, and he can print out his first name completely, although occasionally he makes the F backward; incidentally, he also makes the N backward. That doesn't make much difference. Francis's theatrical career began at the Fine Arts studio when he was three and a halt year of age
AN EASTER STORY My name is Matilda and I live In France. I am nine years old and the oldest child in our family. I am going to tell you what happened at our house on Easter. The night before Easter my mother told me that the Easter Rabbit couldn't get to my house. That made me very sad and I began to cry. When I got up the next morning all I had for breakfast was porridge. I felt very sad that day because some of the other children had nice eggs that the Easter Rabbit had brought them. About 2:30 that afternoon some one came to our door and game mama a nice basket of things. I could hardly wait to see what wai in it When mama opened it there was a nice Easter dinner and a lot of candy. That was the best Easter I ever had. I found out afterward that the
person tLat brought these things
was a girl from the Smith College
Unit.- Margaret Gable, Baxter
