LIONS OF SANDY PLAN PROJECTS "Tbe year of the great drought," u these past twelve or more montbs wtll be known to future plleration s. wrought great damage to mUllona . ot alone did the crops, which were burnecl In the llelds lD twenty-three states, lD the summer of 1930, de~lve several million persons of food, but the drought disaster continued In the s1Jmmer of 1931 in the northwest ern states, and also brought other minor catastroph es In its wake, such as for· eat llres, and the grasshopp er plague. More than a year has elapsed since the American Red Cross launched, In August. 1930, Its llrst moves for relief of the drought-s tricken farmers, and In that time more than 2,750,000 per· aons were given food, clothing, med· leal aid, shelter or other type of aa· •istance. At no period during this year were there fewer than 70,000 persons being aided and at the peak of the relief work on March 1, last, more than 2,000,000 persons were betug helped. Today, atlll aa a result of the drought. the Red Cross Ia giving extended relief In parts of North Dakota, WashlDgton and Montana, where resources of hundreds of famillu were wiped out this past summer, when a second and more severe spell of dry weather was prolonged in that region. Thla drought relief presented the greatest task that has ever been undertaken b;y the Red Cross as a peaceUme activity. The Mlssissipl)l Valley flood of 1927, while more apectacula r, and callin& for relief of a costlier type, because homes and poqession s were swept away, affected hardly one-fourth the number of people who suffered because of the drought. In addition to the broad program of drought relief still belDg carried on, John Barton Payne, chairman ot the Amerlcan Red Cron, has given the following suggestio n to Chapter chairmen, In regard to uneml)loyment relief: "Where there is suffering and want from any cause and the fundamental local needs are not being met, Chapters may participat e in the com· munlty plans for meeting the need." Some type ot general family relief, whether tor the drought victims, the uneml)loyed or the war veteran and hla family, were carried on by more thm 1,000 Red Cross Chapters last Je&r, Judge Payne said. "The drought relief work of 1930. 11," he added, "the tellef now belnr; .eztended following last summer's drought, principall y lD Montana and North Dakota; the assistance which 111 being given to ex·servlce men and their tahlil1es; and the part which aeveral hundred Chapters are taking locally In their communities' relief measures are activities ot the Red Cross, national and local, which have met and are meeting some of the seri· oua needs of the present situation." Members of the Sancbt Lions club have been divided into three groups to compete aga.inat each other in activity record and attendanc e throughout the winter. The best team will be the guests of the loeers at a social next spring. The members In each team are: Group A-Henry Jorgensen , J. c. Crapo, G. D. Charlier, C. C. Crapo, A. R. Gardner, D. C. Jensen, J. P. Jensen and J. Ernest Jensen. Group B-Claren ce Nelson, A. C. Jensen, Dr. C. C. Jensen, s. E. McKean, Wm. D. Kuhre, Arthur E. Peterson, Lawrence E. Peterson, and Carl Pierson. Group C-:Earl Allsop, J. Ill. Boyden, Marvin Bird, E. Ray Beck, W. W. Wilson, Melvin Strong, Dr. Glenn W. Richards and Reg White. The major project of the Lions club this winter will be helping the unemploym ent situation. Coordina tion of unemploy ment retlief measures by means of a central committe e, composed of represent atives of churches, schools, ~ fraternal organizat ions is being planned. C. c.

Stumblin g along in the darkness, aimless and dumb with de8pair; Emerging at last with the daybreak ud notiDg a different airAhead on his troubled pa~way, agleam in the momlD&' dew, There's a cloud with a silver Hning and the sun just breakJ.nc thru; There's a gorgeous shaft of rainbow polntiDg dcjwn to the forest tree., And there in the forest stillness, on reverent bended knees He pours out his ~ul to his Maker, praying aloud for a sign That wW mend his broken spirit, and keep his soul In Une In Hne with his nation's conscienc e; in Hne with Ita hero dead; In line with the things they fought for on battlefiel ds run red; In line with the old idea.l8, made one by Lincoln and Lee, He pleads in the name of the Common Ones to give him power to see. And a voice from the ether answers throuch the ray of the rainbow Ught "Arise, my soD, gird up thy loins, and carry on with the ftcbt. Ages ago when the earth was new, I placed In ita bowela deep Those metals rare called silver and gold, and th.e I tam would keep Away from cheap and polluting hands to be moulded as common cl&yI wanted these things for my chlldren to use on a rainy day; I wanted to have them moulded and used In the marta of trade To bring to the world the happiness that comes when aceounts are paid there ln the quartzite at the ratio of twelve to ooe, them I placed And peace wW come to my children when they say 'Thy wW be done'; And all of the tribulatio ns that hang o'et' the world Hke a pall, Will fade as the mists of the moming, if only you'll heed my call. Look up at the rainbow yonder, and note its sUver and gold, And hear ye, my son, that their brotherho od ls part of a plail that's old You asked for a sign and rve spoken, as wearily on you trod; You asked for a sign-and the ralnbow-w 111 tell you the wW of God." -GEO.
