HOLDING TAG DAY FOR RED CROSS School Committee Perfects Plans For Increasing Treas ury of Junior Red Cross When the Red Cross school com mittee met yesterday afternoon with Mrs. William Henderson, the chair man, it was decided that Saturday, May 4. be known as "Tag Day" for the benefit of the Junior Red Cross. The report of Daniel D. Hammel baugh, the treasurer, shows that 10,494 pupils are enrolled in the graded schools of the city and 9,738 of these are now in the Red Cross, equalling 93 per cent. By Easter every building In the city expects to have a record of 100 per cent. There are twenty-nine graded schools, and out of these thirteen have already the 100 per cent menir bership. Of the five parochial schools, each has reached the full membership. Mrs. David E. Tracy, representing the parochial schools on the committee, is looking after the Junior Red Cross there. The report of Mr. Hammelbaugh as treasurer gives a total of $2,785.14 paid into the Junior Red Cross treas ury. He paid out last month $309.19 for materials, and no more money for dues will come for another year, the treasury must be augmented in some way—therefore Tag lJay. Make Generous Gifts Mr. and Mrs. J. K. White have generously agreed to furnish the tin boxes for collecting money and alsoi the tags, their gift amounting Co I about §OOO. It is hoped that from] this Tug Day the Junior Red Cross will reap several thousand dollars, at least enough to carry on the work for another year. ' This money will all be used for materials for the worlc the schoolchildren do. Knitting, sewing, making layettes for Belgian and French babies, the Harrisburg Juniors are doing as much and in some instances better work than any so far reported in the country. The hearty co-operation of Dr. Downcs. Professor Brehm, Daniel Hammelbaugh and members of the school board makes all this pos sible. The Definite Plans It. is expected that three thousand schoolchildren will be on the streets on Tag Day. each with his box la beled with the name of the school and his own name. The money col lected will go to the school to which the child belongs, so that every one is working I* g the prpstige given that school, i rofessor J. J.' Brehm, chairman of the Junior Red Cross school committee, will issue letters within a few days to every teacher of the city, explaining Tag Day and how the committee desires the teacher to aid. The school commit tee itself will raise the money for prizes, thirty-two of which are being arranged for, more to be added if the funds are increased. Thirty three dollars was secured Monday from members of the Civic Club and other contributions are promised. Because of the personal and gener ous interest of Mr. and Mrs. White, the expenses are wonderfully low ered for this big and patriotic un dertaking. Women's Missionary Society of Derry Street U. B.
