RED DROSS GETS
PROFITS FROM PLAY
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES PRE
SENT INTERESTING PLAY FOR
BENEFIT OF RED CROSS.
The play presented by the 1918
High School graduates at the school
auditorium Friday evening was high
ly enjoyed by the audience and net
ted a neat sum for the \pcal Red
Cross chapter. The program was
reproduction of one that was given
during commencement. At that time
very few had the privilege of being
present because the evening was at
tended by very inclement weather,
hence the rc-prcsentr.tion Friday ev*
ening.
The play was directed by Miss Anne
Whitehead and the manner in which
the young folks presented it was a
credit to her as well ns themselves.
The character of the play was such as
to provoke real amusement and the
rrioua members of the group of
young folks who comp9sed the cast
performed their parts quite cleverly.

RED CROSS
WORKERS ROSY
WORKROOM IS FILLED WITH
WORKERS EVERY AFTERNOON
—TWO ALLOTMENTS TO BE
FILLED.
Recently there has been enforced
inactivity on the part of the local Red
Cross workers, the Division . Head
quarters being unable to supply the
material necessary for filling the al
lotments assigned the chapter. At
last the required material has been
received and again the room has taken
n business like air.
Large forces of workers are pres
ent in the afternoon and the work
which consists of pillow cases, com
fort kits, housewives and gauze dress
ing, is keeping them well occupied.
The young workers arc now engaged
the construction of an outing quilt,
announcement haying been made of
the need of these in the eampa in view
of the approaching winter. This is a
very excellent way to utilize outing
scraps and those who have such in the
bodies can assist in this very worthy
cause by sending the scraps to the
work room.
In order to furnish the present al
lotments it will be necessary for the
women to work steadily for some
time, it is hoped that as many as can
will respond to the need for workers
and come to the room ns often aa pos
sible.

FLYER AND MACHINE
FALL AT CORDELE
LIEUTENANT DONALD, SOUTHER
•FIELD FLYER SERIOUSLY IN
JURED, MACHINE WRECKED....,
Lieutenant Donald, - one of the
most expert flyers stationed at South
er Field was seriously injured Tues
day morning at Cordele when he at
tempted to stfeer his machine to a
higher elevation for the return flight
to Americus after he had performed
some unusually difficult stunts in the
air above the city. Lieutenant Donald /
made the flight to Cordele for the pur
pose of checking up the cadets who
were making their daily practice
flights. This done, ho was exhibiting
his skill for the benefit of Cordelians
and had just completed a particular!/
daring feat when the accident oc
curred. According to the idea of the
sergeant who accompanied the bird-
man, occupying the rear seat of the
machine and who escaped without in
jury save a fow minor scratches, tho
aviator attempted the stunt at an in
sufficient height, it being necessary
for the mechanical bird to take a
downward swoop in coming out of the
intricate whirl, befqro it could ascend
again, consequently when the nose of *
the machine was turned downward it
struck the ground with violent force, .
the pilot being unable to direct it in *
an upward'course.
The extent of Lieutenant Donald's
injuries could not bo determined, a
wound in the head was rather severe
and both legs were thought to be
broken. He was unconscious when .
carried to the Cordele Sanitarium fpr
medical attention. Tho machine was
practically demolished. The injured
man was popular in Cordele where
ho enjoyed an extensive acquaintance ,
as the result bf bin frequent •flights,
