RED CROSS ROLL CALL ANSWERED WELL IN AURORA Observe Golden Anniversary Mr. and Mrs, Charles Snyder last Sunday quietly observed the fiftieth anniversary of their -marriage. Only their children, grandchildren and Mrs. J. S. Vandeleur, and little Thomas Wescott were present at the dinner served at noon. They received many loving congratulations and gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder can look back over a long useful and happy married life, and they have witnessed some wonderful changes since the day they took the marriage vows fifty years ago. It is given to few to celebrate their golden anniversary so surrounded by family and friends. While the 1918 Red Cross membership j in Aurora was 202 the response this | year has been less satisfactory. Last f year it required an intensive campaign j to secure the large membership. This- year the membership has been purely voluntary—on a circular letter being sent to actual members. About half have renewed their membership, with good prospects of many more renewals and new members. The following are ! the renewals to date: Grant B. Dimick, Mrs. C.S,Wescott, j Thomas M.

Bishop and the Oregon Electric Railway to abide by the terms o f a hop contract between Orey & Bishop and George Bird & Co., which contract has been bought by Hart. The contract calls for 75,009 pounds of hops. According to Hart's complaint, $9000 had been advanced to Orey & Bishop, before Hart aquired the contract. Several weeks ago, Hart claims, he went to a warehouse of the Oregon Electric company to look at his hops, and that there he met drey and Bishop who refused to let him see and inspect them. This, Hart says, is a violation of the contract. This attitude has been maintained by the defendants, Hart claims, although he has offered to pay the lemaimng money pending in the contract. Judge Bingham Monday granted the injunction request, and the hops cannot be moved while the suit against the Oregon Electric and the others ¡[con cerned is pending. HUBBARD CELEBRATES VICTORY OVER THE HUNS Hubbard celebrated Armistice Day in a most fitting manner. One of the chief features was the unveiling o f the memorial erected in honor o f the Hub bard poldiers who fought the Huns. Judge Grant B. Dimick delivered an inspiring address. Following the unveiling, there was" a basket dinner at the town hall, A further program was rendered in the afternoon and evening, with music by the Hubbard orchestra, patriotic songs by the school children, headings, solos; and a closing “ community sing.’ ’ PEACE TIME RED CROSS FACES HUGE TASKS The American Red Cross, according to à statement just issued from Wash ington, D. C., believes that its first duty is to finish its war task, one hun dred per cènt. The Red Cross must also continue to carry on even more effectively than in the past, its estab lished system of National and Inter national relief, in mitigating the suf fering caused by famine, fire, floods, and great national calamities. It must also render every necessary service to the Army and Navy, and must con tinue the work undertaken prior to the war in the field of nursing and First Aid. The responsibilities of the Red Crgss are greatly increased as a result of the lessons taught by the war, the statement continues. Higher stand ards of responsibility have been set to prevent needless suffering and loss of life. The Red Cross, with its tradi tions and its established organization, will aid in maintaining these stand ards by co-operating with all recog nized agencies engaged in conserving human life and happiness. Activities already authorized include the en couragement and support of Public Health Nursing, educational classes in dietetics, home care of the sick, and First Aid, the extension of Red Cross Home Service, an increased Junior program, and co-operation in develop ing community health centers. War time developments have given every community in the United States a recognized and organized center of Red Cross activity through which the peopie of that community may, if They wish, serve themselves, with all the advantages of national leadership, na tional standards, national and inter national contacts. It rests with the peo ple of every community to determine for themselves just how fully they have need of a movement which under the associated Red Cross Societies, is to express the effort of the peoples of the world to free themselves from needless death and suffering through neighborly cooperation and service. i KRAUS Among those to transact business jn Oregon City Monday were William Heinz and wife.
