Over The Top in Red CrossDrive Reports from all over Eastern Washington County indicate that the record of the Third Lib erty Loan will be duplicated and that all part of the district will be away above the required quo ta. While complete returns are not yet in, the local district is now over the quota and with the aid of the Honor Guard girls is far above the 200 per cent. Proving their ' patriotism by works rather than words, the Beaverton Honor Guard girls on Monday night gave $250, prac tically their entire earnings for the past five months, to the sec ond Red Cross. - A special business meeting was held Monday night in the Red Cross rooms, the principal purpose of which was to official. ly give this donation. The girls were unanimous in their desire to give. Everyone has enjoyed the dances, the. bazaar and the so cial and now that this money has been given to the Red Cross, no one can help feeling that these entertainments were for a very good cause. As this gift has nearly de pleted their treasury, the girls discussed plans for replenishing it. The plan received with most favor is for a dance to be given in the near future and a commit tee was appointed to make ar rangements for one as soon as possible.
