Sidney Red Cross Workers Hold TeaComfort Bags are equipped by Workers; High School Nine Beats Oxford
Sidney, May 15—Nearly $105 was realized for the benefit of the Sidney Red Cross Chapter at the tea and reception held at the Automobile clubroom by a group of Sidney ladies of which Mrs. Maude McKinnon Selkregg was chairman. Mrs. R.W. Silver was chairman of the decorating committee and Mrs. H.A. Truesdell and Mrs. P.O. Wheeler poured tea. The rooms were decorated with the National colors and the flags of the Allies, apple blossoms and other flowers. The table decorations were daffodils.
The collection was taken by three little Misses, Helene Kipp, Marion Wills and Louise Pudney, who were costumed as Red Cross nurses. Hand-painted bookmarks, decorated by Mrs. James Keeton, Jr., were sold by Misses Elsie Gibson and Leona Silver. A musical program was furnished by Francis Larkin. During the reception over 80 comfort bags were equipped by the guests.
The Sidney High school baseball team defeated the Oxford High School nine by a score of 8 to 1 on the local diamond Saturday. The game was closely contested. There was a large attendance.
