a two weeks’ vacation trip to Province- 
town, where she will visit her sister, 
Mrs. William Wolff. 
Edward P. Flynn is having an en- 
forced vacation from his work at 
Standley’s blacksmith shop, as the re- 
sult of having a toe crushed by a 
horse stepping on it. 
Two candidates were initiated by 
Col. H. P. Woodburp camp, 8. of V., 
at the meeting on Tuesday evening. 
Looks as if Commander Bell might 
reach the century mark yet during 
his term of office.

the Parent-Teacher association. A

Ernest L. Valentine, James A. Con- 
ley, Charles Hooper, Lewis ‘Hooper, 
I. M. Marshall and R. P. Young at- 
tended the demonstration at the 
branch office of Swift & Co. in Salem 
on Wednesday evening. — Provision 
dealers and butchers from Salem and 
nearby towns were present to hear a 
discussion of cost methods in the 
meat business by experts. The last 
two members of the Manchester 
party are not market men, but were 
lured into the conference by the free 
“eats.” However, the provision men 
found much of interest in the lectures. 
Besides offering a score or more of 
its boys for service in the navy and 
army thus far, Manchester has young 
women who are ready and willing to 
do their part in serving their country. 
The Boston Post printed a picture of 
Miss Marie Lampron last week, and 
had the following to say: “That 
Boston women will prove as useful in 
taking man’s place in civil life dur- 
ing a war as their English sisters have 
been is the opinion of Marie A. Lam- 
pron, the first girl in this city to take 
a job left vacant by a soldier joining 
the colors. Miss Lampron left a 
position as a clerk in one of the big 
stores to run the elevator in the Fen- 
way Girls’ Business club at 1126 
soylston st. Yesterday was her third 
day on the elevator and all the ten- 
ants in the building agree that she is 
doing just as well as Michael Rocco, 
the former operator, and he was well 
thought of too.” |

MANCHESTER RED Cross BRANCH 
CALLS FOR FUNDS. 
| 
Attention is again called to the 
necessity of obtaining funds for the 
local branch of the Red Cross. Funds 
have been solicited by means of a cir- 
cular letter sent out by the finance 
committee and everyone is urged to 
come forward promptly with his con- 
tribution. The committee consists of 
William Hooper, chairman, George S$. 
Sinnicks and Mrs. Gordon Prince. 
Contributions will be received by the 
treasurer, H. W. Purington at the 
Manchester. “Trust; “Co. Phe. letter 
sent to every adult in town is as fol- 
lows: 
The Manchester Branch of the Red 
Cross is now thoroughly organized, 
with F. J. Merrill, president; H. W. 
Purington, treasurer; Mrs. Wm. W. 
Joseph, recording secretary, and Miss 
Gladys Hildreth, corresponding secre- 
tary. 
Various subcommittees have been 
appointed and are already at work. 
By a rule of the Red Cross, each 
local chapter must do its own financ- 
ing, and for this reason we issue an 
appeal for funds to carry on the 
necessary work and to enable Man- 
chester to sustain the enviable reputa- 
tion which she now has in the work 
of the Red Cross. 
Thirty-five of the members are now 
at work on the emergency: boxes, of 
which the medical profession assures 
us they cannot have too many. Each 
box, which contains everything neces- 
sary for the care and comfort of a 
disabled man, costs twenty dollars.

Let Manchester do her share and 
let every citizen give according to his 
means. We expect pennies from the 
children, dollars from their fathers 
and checques from those able to send 
them. 
Subscriptions may be made directly 
to the treasurer, at the Manchester 
Trust Co., or to a member of the fi- 
nance comunittee. 
ARBELLA GIRLS DoInG THEIR Part. 
Manchester people should give gen- 
erous support to the efforts of the 
Arbella girls in raising money for the 
Red Cross. Their entertainment. for 
that purpose, to be held next Friday 
evening, May 4th, will be well worth 
the price of admission, irrespective of 
the grand cause for which the girls 
are working.
