Gillespie Agent THE RED CROSS NURSE MISS MARY GRASKAMF PRESENTS A PKOCRAM As a climax to the twelve weeks of activities conducted by the National Red Cross Nurse, Miss Mary Gras liamp, both in the Public School and St. Mary's Academy, the pupils of her classes in both .-chool ’ and the adult I class presented an Achievement pro gram in the auditbrium of the public school building Thursday evening to a crowded house. The high school orchestra played several selections at the opening of i the program and ut intervals through out the evening. , Mrs. P. J. O’Donnell, chairman of the local chapter of the Red Cross gave a very interesting resume of the O’Neill Red Cross; he spoke very highly of the work done by Miss Gras kamp during the twe lvc week3 that she spent in O'N* ill. The first demonstration on the pro gram was a playlet given by members of the Hygiene cla of the public school, entitled ' A Picnic. The de monstration consisted of first aid work in a series of accident that are liable to happen at any picnic and covered a range of a scratch an the finger to drowning. Those who took part in the program were Lona Cromwell, Leta Johnson, Stella VanEvery, Eva Spang ler, Helen Gain., Virgil Johnson, Harold Shoemaker, Francis Tenborg, Robert Lamb, George Robertson and Levi Hull. , The next demonstration was given by pupils of the -ame class, entitled “The Baby's Bath." The part of the mother was taken by Mildred Gran dorff, the nurse, Marjorie Gretsch; visitors, Neva Oberle and Amolia Mer rill. The visitors represented the “nosey” type of women who sometimes visit the new baby and are chock full of the old time theories; these two visitors were exceptionally clever. The members of St. Mnry's Home ' Hygiene class contributed u playlet and two readings to the program. The playlet “An Auto Accident” dealt with the proper emergency treatment for a dislocated shoulder and other injuries. Those taking part were: Mildred Agnes. Gertrude Connelly, Margaret and Eleanor Dunne, Bernadette Gal ligan, June Scanlon, Lenore Shoe maker, Genevieve Lydon, Josephine Wabs and Nellie Whiting. “Maggie McCarthy on Dieting,” was read by Loretta Carr, and “The Boy and His Father,” by Catherine Zas trowe. Besides first aid kits exhibited by the high school classes there was a very fine “health” sand table showing a town, the houses, streets and side walks, all of which were constructed of some kind1 of cereal. The last number on the program was presented by the adult class show ing the use of homemade appliances in the care of a patient. The ladies were Mrs. Frank Oberle, patient; Mrs. W. C. Templeton, nurse; Mrs. John Stauffer, assistant nurse; Mrs. James McPharlin and Mrs. Katherine Miller, visitors. The visitors caused many good laughs by their inquisitiveness and by their conversation embodying the untimely remarks that are often heard in the sick room; the remarks were considerably overdrawn but were greatly enjoyed' by the audience . A SURPRISE PARTY. How refreshing it is after reading continually the cold calculating items of news about business, politics and ordinary society affairs such as we see, for the most part, in the papers, to read of a surprise party such as was given to R. J. Hatch, Monday night. April 15th, in honor of his sixtieth birthday anniversary and it was a real surprise. They assembled at the home of Roy Cole about eight o’clock in the evening and greeted Mr. Hatch with wishes for many happy returns; some nice presents were presented to him. After that he, with most of the young people, engaged in some out door games until eleven o’clock, when a lunch of many different kinds of nice cakes and coffee was served. On the table was one cake decorated with sixty candles lighted and burn ing and Mr. Hutch, a scustom usualy is observed, blew out the candles, then the crowd proceeded to partake of the rereshments. Afterwards indoor games were played until nearly one o’clock, after which the party broke up with the statement that they all enjoyed themselves very much. irntwwnmmwwmmHummimMwmiMa ♦t I INSURANCE ' 8 Any Kind That You May Want | 15"° to 25'^ Saved on Insurance Policy Insure against Loss from Fire Lightning Tornado Hail Every car owner should Insure against Collision Public Liability and Property Damage :: :: « Plate Glass insurance in a strong company :: Court Bonds Contractors Bonds Notory’s Bonds written \ -SEE L.

A fiine rain fell throughout the country, Saturday night and Sunday. As the weather is getting better people are starting out to get ac quainted again after hybe- .ilie so to speak, through the long bard win ter. The dirtfarmers are all qi.r’te busy sowing small grain, oats and bn~Vv. Also spring rye; congress wdl likely have a tremendous job this fall caring for the surplus, which there certainly will be if every kernel biings a hun dred fold. The chickens are nothing but chinmusic yet, awai ng warmer weather. The O. A. Hammerburg family helped dismantle a twenty-pound tur key, and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith and George were dinner guests at Willard Greenwoods. The Johnson’s expected some dinner guests from O Neill, too. The Harry Bowen family but supposedly, on account of the rain, did not arrive, and thus lost out on the turkey. The northwest schoolma’am. Miss Alpha, says if it isn’t one thing its two, and thinks the “chevy” which she drives back and forth to school, tried to commit suicide Monday; it’s been in good working order in all gears and always started when stepped on, but Monday evening it started fire instead of speed and tried to burn itself up. Fay Cams, with the help of the other children, got the fire put out before any serious damage was done. Frank Kohlschmidt' with his tin lizzie hap pened along and brought the bunch home. The “chevy” was pulled home later in the evening. GRETA GARBO GLORIOUSLY ALLURING IN DANCES OF HER NEW FILM Greta Garbo, who during her entire residence in Hollywood has never par ticipated in the social whirl of the screen capital, preferring the seclu sion of her Santa Monica apartment, had to learn the newest ballroom steps for her latest screen vehicle. “Wild Orchids" shown at Royal Theatre, O’Neill, Sunday and Monday. Sedate Scandinavian waltz rhythms and the syncopated fast-moving dance numbers popular in the United States are as far apart, obviously, as a tropical breeze and a Canadian snowstorm. Miss Garbo’s early train ing in the principles of the dance at the Royal Dramatic Academy in Stock holm proved of little value when it came to going through a half-dozen Hurried fox trots and semi-Charles tons. Dance instructors were hurridly summoned from a Los Angeles school and the young Swedish actress quickly re-learned the basic points of 1928 ballroom dancing, Western Hemis phere style. The scenes in “Wild Orchids” call ing for ballroom dancing take place 1 Frames, Molding, Kodak Finishing. I Films, Enlarging and Tinting. O'Neill Photo Co.
