Tuesday and Wednesday the assem¬ bly period was devoted to raising sub¬ scriptions for the "Student." Tues¬ day morning Milton Seaman, the bus¬ iness manager, and Mildred Smith, an associate editor, spoke on the sub¬ ject. The former emphasized the fact that, although the price, $1.25, is high¬ er than last year, the "Student" will be larger, better and more frequent¬ ly published. The latter speaker made a plea for contributions as well as subscriptions. Wednesday mem¬ bers of the staff solicited subscrip¬ tions and about sixty were secured. Would not some of the Alumni like to keep in touch with F. H. S. by sub¬ scribing to the Student?
Freeport Man Working in Florida; Enjoying Country
The following letter is received from George Raynor, one of our read¬ ers, who is spending the winter at West Palm Beach Fla.:
Kindly forward my Review to 602 North Poinsetta Street, West Ralm Beach, Fla., as I would like to hear from home once in a while. ..The weather is fine down here; a little warm, but evenings are cool. I went over to the ocean this morning to see the fishermen haul for fish. They haul right off the beach and get plenty of fish. On my way home I thought I would get Mrs. Raynor some cocoa- nuts. I had great luck; got 10 many that I could not carry them all. This is a beautiful country dovm here. On our way down we stopped at Jackson¬ ville, which is a fine city of 100,00 population. We reached West Palm Beach Friday night bout 9:30 p. m. There is plenty of building here but a good deal of the work is standing atill on account of a strike, although I had no trouble. Will start to work tomorrow. The scale of wages here has been $6.00 for eight hours' work, but the strike is for $7.00. The isn- ions will not allow you to work for less than $7.00. I feel quite much at home dowm here as I am a member of one of the local carpenters' unions and have got acquainted with good mny men.
Red Cross to Hold
Its Annual Meeting
The annual meetinj; of the Free- port Branch American Red Cross will be bald at the Freeport Club Wednesday, October 15, at 3:30 P. M. The election of officers will take place. All members are urged to be present.
The war activities of the Red Cross are about at an end, but it is de¬ sirous that the organization will con¬ tinue on a piece time basis, then should any emergency arise, the Branches and Auxiliaries could, on short notice, be able to render act¬ ive duty, whereas, if they were to go out of existence, it would be very difficult to act quickly or agHin re¬ construct the present  organization.
