month of the war leaves more women and
children of Europe in need of aid; there-
fore all war charities grow more press-

war; therefore our own Red Cross needs
further support. To suit the changing

our standards of living and giving. We
must renounce the idea of spending as
much on our own pleasures as heretofore,
and in actual fact we must practice self-
denial.

In a year such as this when, in a trite
phrase, history is being made, and with
a vengeance, it would surely be a pity
to think that we had gone our even, un-
swerving way, indifferent and calloused
to all but our own concerns.

regular, the interest keen. On February

asked by an officer of an association about

after forty minutes was he able to begin

scheduled its meeting at 7.30 and an offi-

class was again interrupted by three suc-
cessive groups of late comers arriving at
7.55—and he was twice forced to repeat
the beginning of his lecture. Can any ex-
cuse be found for such discourtesy?

Any member of the Community Center
who presents Miss Smith with five, ten or
twenty-five pennies receives a card show-

and giving various useful hints such as: | Next Door to Keith's
