Red Cross Auction in Henry Nets Record $5000
In Henry on May 18 the Red Cross sale day drew crowds, parades, and an auction that raised over five thousand dollars, the county's largest tally to date. The event featured a parade led by Ed B. Smith, the Henry band, and local volunteers, with proceeds from auctions and a supper at the garage boosting support for war relief. Judge Clyde E. Stone spoke at the evening program, and the wagon raffle, plus various raffles and attractions, closed the fund drive as Henry went over the top in county totals.
