“Friendship is the only cement
that will ever hold the world to
gether. The intimate contact of the
Red Cross with the suffering people
will be one of the greatest instru
mentalities of friendship the world
has even known.”—Woodrow Wilson
The flowers within our reach wc
tread down without so much as even
looking at them; the tiny exotic,
which is far less beautiful, we
covet because it is difficult of at
tainment.

WORK ON BRIDGE
AI1HE CROSSING
IS PROGRESSING
j Reports received from out the
i line would indicate that rapid prog
ress is being made in the work
of building a bridge across the Ne
nana river at 43-mile which will
carry the rails across.
The greater portion of the struc
ture completed last winter and
which was not injured by the ice
at the breakup is, of course, being
utilized and as the present structure
is going to be a trestle bridge, bents
are being driven between the piers,
a superstructure being built on the
piers to replace the trusses and to
bring the bridge up to grade level.
As originally intended and built
last winter, piers 24 feet apart were
driven in the middle of the stream,
each end of the bridge having trestle
approaches, the alterations of the
plans call for the driving of a bent
of piling between the piers. The
work is said to be about half fin
ished now and it is expected that
by the time steel reaches the river
bank the bridge will be almost ready
for it.
The dollar membership fee for the
“Red Cross” buys the cheapest and
best insurance the world has ever
had.

KIDS WILL HAVE
RARE OLD TIME
CHRISTMAS EVE
The Christmas spirit is abroad in
the 'and, and Nenana is in line for
congratulatons on the fact that a
good time is already a certainty
Acting on the suggestion some
weeks ago, that Nenana celebrate
the festive season as a community
i instead of in groups on Christmas
! Eve, and that the bachelors of the
j community take the matter in
charge, the single men of the town
and vicinity have entered heartily
into the scheme and interest in what
is to take place is beginning to
mount upward daily.
It goes without argument, that a
company of men with courage and
endurance enough to resist the
charms of the fair sex through all
the long years that have passed
will have the initiative and push
1 ,
necessary to show Nenana an even
ing to be remembered for years.
The bachelors want the kiddies,
the fathers and the mothers and the
uncles and the aunts all to get
ready to attend the celebraton. Keep
| your eyes on Chrstmas Eve in the
Union Hall. I
I
j One of the bachelors has just re
ceived a wireless from the North
Pole station, and it is generally
\ surmised that Santa Claus is plan
' ning to come down to look this
1 live, new town over a bit this year.
After the Christmas tree has serv
ed its purpose and good old Santa
has gon, the bachelors intend that
the kiddies shall dance if they are
so minded, and for that purpose
has arranged for the Coliseum or
1 chestra to supply the music.
The whole entertainment is being
j given by the bachelors for the kids
only and the dance is not intended
for any but the kids- To avoid dis
I appointment and to dispel all de
lusions on the point, the committee
announce mat grown-ups will not a
be allowed on the floor unless they I
happen to be dancing with the cflild- |
1 ren. The committee of bachelors j
: wish it definitely known that they
wish to discourage dancing by the
grown-ups so that the kids will not
be crowded off the floor. It is to
be kids’ night and a kids’ dance
entirely, and the bachelors are going
to see that they have a good time.1
Liberty will not descend to a
people; a people must raise them
selves to liberty. It is a blessing
to be earned before it can be en
joyed.
One ton of coal will manufacture

Wars may come and wars may go—
but the Red Cross goes on forever.

Giving to the Red Cross is like
finding your dentist out. You feel
I better than you did before.
