Hchool children from the upper grades, under the direction of Dr. Ernest A. Smith, city superintendent of schools, and teachers, will visit every home In Halt Lako next Tuesday afternoon from - until 5 o'clock In an endeavor to renew re-new every Rod Cross membership In the community. At a conference last night between Pr. Smith and It. K. Cobb, chairman' of tho membership drive, It tvas definitely decided to repose the responsibility re-sponsibility of securing these member-shin member-shin renewals In tho pupils. They will. however, handle only the membership part of the campaign, tho subscription drive being covered by the committee of business men under the direction of the committee of which H. T. Plumb is chairman. Method To Be Extended. According to Mis. John Aylett of Mid-vale Mid-vale and W. W. Wilson of Sandy, similar simi-lar methods for securing tho membership member-ship renewals will be adopted in Midvalo and Sandy an'd in other towns througti-jMnUt througti-jMnUt tho county. The committee on subscriptions met lust night at the Commercial club and completed Its personnel, so that everything every-thing will be in readiness by the first 01 the. week for tho opening of the drive.
