Waterloo Red Cross drive eyes strong local showing
Waterloo chapter of the Red Cross hopes for a creditable national showing from its third annual membership drive set for November 2 to 11. Mrs. J O Trumbauer said local headquarters have about 6,500 memberships in, with branches in Dunkerton Hudson Castle Hill Orange and Cedar Heights contributing. Junior campaigns in schools and Nileis Central shops will push totals toward 7,500 or more, as shops have consistently supported war work. Armistice Day paused canvassing, with a plan to finish stray areas next week. Cropper, chair, anticipated 6,000 to 7,000 as a solid goal after initial optimism of 10,000.

Jellyfish Sting Dangers Highlight Bathers Danger
The southern Portuguese jellyfish, the Nomans, delivers severe stings to bathers. Each man of war float is a cluster of small organisms with a iridescent float that rides the wind. Tentacle contact burns and reddens skin for hours, with multiple stings worsened. A little man of war fish sometimes accompanies the float for protection. The note also mentions a Christian Science lecture by John W. Doorly at Waterloo Theatre and lists historic battles as referenced in a August roundup.
