Nazareth Branch Of Red Cross Completes ^ ^^ Drive For Membership
The Red Cross Membership drive is finished, and the towns in the Nasareth District have again shown what they can do.
The Membership Committee work¬ ers under the direction of the Oeneral Chah-man Mrs. P. S. Trum¬ bower, and the Ward Chairmen, Mrs. Pred D. Heckman, Mrs. A. E. Pranta and Mrs. H. P. Yelsley, secur- ed the amasing total of 1086 Mem¬ berships, and in addition collected M11.60, which was donated by cit¬ izens toward the work of the Civi¬ lian Relief Committee, which is handling unemployment .relief in thU vicinity.
That Narareth could exceed its quota of 1000 members in the face of preaent conditions shows the con- Adence of the public in the organiz¬ ation, and It seems to be a good time to advise our contributers as to what is being done.
There seems to be an impression on the part of some people that the Red Cross general funds can not be expended for Civilian Relief, but this is a mistake. Some time ago, the Chapters were advised from Washington that local civilian and unemployment relief waa a perfect¬ ly proper function of the organla* atlon, and during the past year our Relief Committee, after careful ex¬ amination of the menu of the cas¬ es, have purchased and distributed coal, food, shoes, etc. to the amount of (12000.00). That the Nasareth Branch had this amount of money on hand. Is due to the very liberal arrangement made with the Nara¬ reth organiratlon by the Easton Chapter. Of every dollar contri¬ buted for a Red Cross Membership, SOc goes to Washington for use any¬ where In the Country where disast¬ ers occur. The other half is kept by the Chapters for local relief. In view of the fact that the Nazareth Branch has always been self-sustain¬ ing, the Easton Chapter has for many years past, turned back to us 45c out of each 50c received by them on Nazareth memberships, and this monev has Ijeen kept at interest by the Nazareth Branch, and Is now available for use In the present emergency.
The   entire amount   of 45c   per
membership is available for use In relieving distress In the Narareth district, as not one cent, during the entire existence of the Naureth Branch, has ever been paid out to any officer or member of any Com¬ mittee for any work done by them. The Treasurer and the ladles who have collected the memberships year after year have given their work for the cause free of charge, and the room from whieh the cloth¬ ing which has been given us, is be¬ ing disbursed. Is donated, without rent, by the Parmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company.
We want to thank at this time not only those who took memberships and made donations, but those offi¬ cers and Committee Members who have so freely given their time and efforta.

The origin of the flre is not defi¬ nitely known. Mr. Messinger said that as he entered the bam. carry¬ ing a lantern, he was met with a fifesh of flames. He does not know If the lantern he carried exploded or if there was a fire In the place Ijefore he opened the door. He left that -section of the barn and went to the part where the live stock was kept and managed to get out all the cattle. Neighbors assisted him and a call for help was sent to Bangor. Chemical apparatus from that town responded but the flames had made so much progress the flremen could not stop them. All the season's crops, a tractor and other farm machinery were destroyed. The loss Is estimated at between $3,000 and $6,000.
