Friends, did you read the letter written by Anton Zella, Jr., on the front page of our Herald of February 27th? And did you try to think that it might have been your own boy, or mine who had the curtain of darkness drawn down over his precious eyes while his good right arm was wounded and very painful? And, then did you read down the page and see what he said about the Red Cross? Did you see how his loneliness was somehow erased by the Red Cross workers? How many of you felt that you would like to send this boy a message of thanks? And did you take time to send a greeting or did you say: "Oh, I guess the Red Cross will do it for him?" The writer thinks a post card "shower" might bring this young man world's of cheer. How about it, folks?
This reminds me that our Red Cross drive has begun. The Francitas chairman, Mrs. Ben Pearce and her helpers have asked me to note that the membership cards and pins are at the post office.
On the Red Cross here: Mrs. Ben Pearce, local representative; Mrs. Hugh Rose?, solicitor. Let's put Francitas over the top. We can you know by the help of each of you. Just hand your dimes or your dollars to either of the ladies.

There were twenty grandchildren present. In the afternoon several old time acquaintances dropped in to congratulate Mrs. Thedford, and the day was complete. We congratulate our friend. On Mother's Day we, whose mothers are living, begin to "take stock" as it were of the wonderful abundance of their untiring love, and try to make them feel that their patience and understanding and love for us is not unrequited. The joy that shines in the mother's eyes is quite enough to repay us for a greeting, or a ribbon-tied gift. It means so much. On each Mother's Day we have found it "pays" to select some "childless" mother or one whose own children are far away and "adopt" them for the one day. Try it sometime. One of the "special" mothers here just wrote down a list of her children, eight of them: grandchildren, thirty-two, and great-grandchildren thirty-four, and sent her blessings wherever they may be. This mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Koch, will be 80 years old on May 16th. She wished to extend thanks to all her big family and to each of the friends who made "Her Day"--Last Sunday--a very happy occasion. Her little cottage was aglow with blossoms gathered by loving hands to take to Grandma as a greeting. Every gift, every greeting card and every smile brought joy to her and her daughter, Miss Helen, who love special days and always feel a great disappointment if they are denied the privilege of doing something nice for someone else. We salute you, Mrs. Koch and Miss Helena. Russell Green, who is now stationed at Fort Ord, California, is home for a few days. Mrs. Clarence Conley was one of the out-of-town guests a the Pearce home Sunday. Jack Upton, who is with the Merchant Marines, is home to visit his mother, Mrs. E. B. Upton.
