| Description |
The Weber County Chapter of the Red Cross began in December 1915 when a small group of individuals gathered to begin organizing a chapter of the Red Cross. In 1962, the name was changed to the Bonneville chapter, and in 1969, the chapter merged with other chapters in Northern Utah to become the Northern Utah Chapter, with its headquarters located in Ogden, Utah. The scrapbooks range from 1940 to 2003 and highlight some of the important work of the Red Cross. The books include photographs, newspaper clippings, and other materials. |

But if your romance looks like it’s going down for the third time because of that course you wonder if it’s worthwhile. The story of one chap who found that it was happening to him, is told in this week’s “Errand of Mercy” drama, which will be heard on ___________ at __________ over Station ____________. George Walker, guest at a lake resort, knew he couldn’t dance all night and still stand up under the demands of a tough life-saving course. It wasn’t easy, however, to leave the weekly dances at midnight, especially when he had to leave his girl dancing with a good-looking rival. |
