TO RED CROSS BRANCHES,
HOLT COUNTY CHAPTER
The Holt County Chapter American
Red Cross is just entering another
year of Red Cross activities with
practically an exhausted treasury.
The small amount of money obtained
by the annual Red Cross drive is
hardly sufficient to accomplish much
in the way of charity. However,
there are many ways in which the
Red Cross activities may be directed
to aid the poor, needy and others
suffering from drouth and grasshop
per blight and the depression gener
ally.
1 believe it to be vital to Red Cross
activities this year that we proceed
with a program of collection of sec
od hand garments and foodstuffs do
nated by charitably inclined people
of the county and have these items
on hand t6 assist in meeting the de
mand for aid during the coming win
ter. The solicitation of these things
should commence soon so that prop
er preparation can be made for
cleansing and repairing of the cloth
ing and the preservation of perish
able foods before frost.
Every effort should be made to en
roll every adult member of the Red
Cross during the annual drive in
November. With the assistance and
co-operation of those financially able
to do so Holt county this coming win
ter will be able to take care of its
own and not require outside assist
ance, and the Red Cross members of
this county should direct their efforts

MELLOR MOTOR CO. GET
INTERESTING LETTER
The following letter was received
by the Mellor Motor Company a
short time ugo from Calvin McKim,
at Bryan, Texas. The letter was un
solicited and is appreciated very
much by the company.
College Station, Texas,
August 18, 1931
Mellor Motor Company,
O’Neill, Nebraska,
My Dear Mr. Mellor:
I had a fine trip down. 1 picked a
time when the elements were sure at
their best for traveling.
I wish to say this for the Ford
Victoria—that it was what made the
trip the most pleasant 1200 miles I
have ever ridden in any kind of
transportation vehicle. We averaged
22Mj miles per gallon of gasoline in
spite of the car being new and tight,
having four inside and a fifteen hun
dred pound trailer to tow behind.
Everything you said about the rid
ing qualities is true, plus. 1 do not
have words to express my complete
amazement at the comfort of driving
this particular model.
I understand that the windshield
will be replaced gratis if cracked
within thirty days of purchase. Well,
mine is cracked. I discovered it upon
my arrival at College Station, Aug
ust 13th. I had a note made of the
right rear shock absorber leaking at
the 1,000 mile grease and check job
at Topeka. Kansas, and again at the
1500 mile check and grease job at
Bryan.
From the standpoint of crops agri
culture is thriving from the Kansas
border southward. Oklahoma and
Texas seem to have the best crops
they have ever had. However, with
cotton going down in price to a pre
dicted low of five cents per pound,
they are but little better off finan
cially than if the crops were poorer.
Thanking you for past favors and
those of the future, I beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
V. CALVON McKIM

NOTICE
The City Ordinance provides that
when a fire alarm is sounded every
driver of an automobile must drive
his car to the curb and keep it there
until the fire apparatus passes. Auto
mobile drivers have paid no atten
tion to this and several times acci
dents have been narrowly averted.
Hereafter this ordinance will be
strictly enforced and this means a
fine of $2 and costs for every driver
convicted. The truck has been de
layed several times on account of
cars driving to the pump station
while the alarm is being sounded, or
being pulled into the street while
the truck is in motion. If you are
not a fireman, a few minutes :delay
won’t make any difference and by
waiting you may be about |$4.65
ahead.
