LADIES WORKING
HARD FOR DRIVE;
PLANS OUTLINED
Feature Picture Show and Sourdough
Dance Will Be Big Features
of the Week.
It will be no fault of those who
have charge of the Big Red Cross
Drive if Nenana does not do its best
for they are certainly working hard
and meeting with encouragement.
In addition to the individual solicit
ing work that is being done, and
the yarn auction, two entertainments
have been arranged that promise to
bring Nenana’s quota and then some.
On Friday night there is to be a
picture show at which will be shown
a Pathe and a five-reel Paramount
that is a dandy, and the entire pro
ceeds are to be devoted to the fund.
The admission will be 50 cents, for
it is a realy and truly Sunday show,
the proprietors of the Coliseum,
Messrs. Burns & Rosburg, have
agreed to donate the entire receipts,
while Vic, Durand, Mrs. Lawrence
and everyone else concerned, are
contributing their services to the
cause. The name of the Paramount
will be announced later.
The week’s drive will end Satur-'
day night with the Big Doings of
the season at Union Hall. On that
night everything goes—for the Red
Cross. The hall will be transformed
into the old-style dance hall, the old
games will be in full swing and it
will not be hard to belive that the
past ten years never happened and j
you are back to the days when you !
could play the wheel or the bank, j
or shoot a little craps. Durand will j
be there to play and after each dance
you can do as you used to do and
“Take your partner and promenade
to the bar.” More about this later.
Who’* for a juicy two-step, or a
dreamy waltz? Ham Grease Jimmy
will be on hand Saturday night.

CARNIVAL NETS
LARGE SUM FOR
THE RED CROSS
Report of Treasurer Shows That the
Receipts Exceed Six Hundred
Dollars.
There is much elation in Red Cross
circles as the result of the success
of the carnival which was held at
the Lescure store last week under
the auspices of the local branch of
the Red Cross society. As previously
announced, the receipts were $1,
002.80, to which later wras added a
donation of $5, making a total of
$1,027.80, gross. The expenses,
which include the cost of goods sold
on commission, were $357.75, leav
ing a net balance for the Red Cross
of $670.05. This is regarded as an
especially good showing, in view of
the fact that the town was partially
under water at the time the carnival
was held, and many residents were
prevented from attending.
The ladies are very grateful to
Mr. Paul Lescure, whose offer of
the use of his store, made the car
nival possible. Mr. Lescure prac
tically vacated the place during the
three days that the ladies were there,
turning the store over to them, as
well as bowling alleys, shooting gal
lery and other features which con
tributed largely to the success of the
undertaking.
The ladies in charge of the affair,
all of whom worked hard to insure
its success, were as follows: Mes
dames Schaeffer, Ellenson, More, M.
E. Smith, Love, Cooney, Craig,
Flower, Landwehr, Slippern, Law
rence, Schmidt, Southworth, Old
field, Fowler, Lamont, Bowen, and
Misses Queenie Russel, Thora Slip
pern, Elizabeth Foster, Liverson,
Billings, McRae. The flood pre
vented a number from being present.
The ladies received valuable assist
ance from the boys of Co. B, from
Mr. Vachon, of the Lescure store,
from Mr. Flower and others, who
helped arrange the decorations and
in clearing the store after the car
nival. The materials for the soft
drinks were donated by Mr. Max
Smith, and the ingredients 1’or the
ice cream were supplied by numerous
ladies of the town. And the busi
nessmen supplied the carnival with
goods at cost, to be used as prizes
for the wheel of fortune.
The winners of the*prizes returned
them to the ladies to be disposed of
again, and in that way made it pos
sible for the receipts to be s.veiled
to a considerable extent. Among
those who assisted in this manner
were: August Johnson, Mrs. M. E.
Smith, John Demis, Knut Kolarid,
J. H. Flower, M. Boulais, Wm. Papa
iupolas, Frank Carey, Theo, Thomp
son, Mrs. Waechter and Mr. John
son.
Messrs. C. H. Hall, G. F. Cramer
and Dr. J. H. Bowen brought in
substantial sums through the medium
of auction sales, and paddles, which
also helped materially to swell the
receipts, were provided by Mr. W. L.
Packer. The large attractive Red
Cross sign, which hangs from a wire
stretched between the Arctic and the
Cooney hotel, and which signifies
when there is something doing in
the Red Cross line, was generously
contributed by Anderson Bros &
Nerland and the firm of Cooney
Cooney donated a quantity of to
bacco. Assistance, in various forms,
was received from many others, to
all of whom the Red Cross ladies
are very grateful.
M. V. Tyler donated several small
signs to the carnival.
Everybody two-*tep, everybody rag
for the Red Cross on Saturday
Night at the Union Hall.
