The above committees will meet at
! Red Cross headquarters on Saturday
i afternoon at " o'clock.
The Katalla Auxiliary work will be
in charge of Mrs. Willoughby.
The one important thought to keep
in mind is that the roll call is not
I a drive, is not a campaign; is, indeed,
not directed toward the collection of
money, but is designed simply to give
(;.<h loyal American the opportunity
to enroll in the greatest humanitarian
organization in the world's history.
Red Cross activities during the
coming year will be, if anything, more
extensive than during the year just
ended, und the finest sense of appre
ciation that we can show to our allies
and that we have no intention of fail
ing them In their problem of feeding
and sheltering their women and little
ones this winter is by answering the
roll call with a full and enthusiastic
quota.

thraclte mining, which has been lag
ging ever since influenza swept over j
this region, is about to be resumed
on a larger scale than before the epl- '
demlc Hundreds of miners who, at
tracted bv the higher wages in muni-!
tions plants, left the mines, are now
returning.
The increase of $1 a day in wages
recently granted miners is another
reason for the return of the men.
Their number will be augmented by
thousands of young miners to be re
I leased from the military camps.
In th*- Mincrsville district several;
collieries have announced that t!!ey I
again have their full complement of
workers.
It is expected that production of
