CLEANING UP
OLDORCHARD

II propose to have the laws at Old
Orchard obeyed," said Governor Carl
E. Milliken, who owns summer home
at that place Saturday.
"Old Orchard comes to my attention
particularly because I have a summer
home at Ocean Park, which although
mile and half away from the CEN
ter of things is a part of the town of
Old Orchard, and my family spends
the summer at that place." continued
Governor Milliken.
complaint has been made that the
managers of some of the amusement
places have been violating the State
law by running their places on Sun
day and charging admission.
THE suggestion has been made to
the selectmen of Old Orchard that the
matter can best be dealt with through
their cooperation. If this co-opera-
ton is refused I shall ask the State
prosecuting authorities to take what
ever steps that are appropriate. I
propose to have the laws obeyed.
"Conditions as regards the prohibi
tory law and against gambling are ex-
ceedingly good at Old Orchard, better
than for many years. There have
been immense crowds at Old Orchard
this summer. especially on Sundays,
and there has been no disorder.
i may also say that conditions as
10 the obedience Of the Sunday law as
well as the prohibitory law are very
good indeed throughout the State and
satisfactory as a whole"

TO CHAPTERS OF THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS:
By reason Of the growth Of the Aneri.
can Red Cross, there is general necessi-
ty for a uniform system of accounting
and reporting on the part Of the Chapters
in order properly to control and direct
our rapidly expanding activities.
Funds raised by Chapters and disbursed
for relief are so large that no financial re-
port Of the American Red Cross would be
complete or satisfactory which did not
include the results OF the Chapter activi-
ties.
Further, the public which contributes
so generously to the American Red Cross
has every right to expect that expendi-
lures shall be systematically accounted
for. supervised and reported in an annual
statement. A general recognition that
such safeguards are employed will great
" benefit the standing Of the American
Red Cross.
Instructions, as well as the forms. fully
explaining the uniform system OF ac-
counting, are now IN the hands Of print
ers. but ,nasmuch as the fiscal year Of the
American Red Cross commences on July
list, II will be necessary to obtain from
each Cha pier. prior to receipt Of the gen.
eral accounting forms. the Information
for the month Of July. called for iH-the

enclosed report, which please compile
from such records as you have heretofore
maintained and send July report to your
DIVISION Office not later than August 20
Ihe object of this report is TO insure
ehat every item Of receipt and expendI-
lure Will be CLASSIFIED alike by each Chap
ter SO that National Headquarters will be
IN position to render a satisfactory
statement OF the condition of each Chap
ter from July l, should it be desired or
demanded by Congress, who has the pow.
er to make such request
Each Chapter report for the month of
july should include the activities of its
Branches and Auxilaries, if any, as far
as obtainable. 1t should not. however. be
held after August 20, for lack of inror-
nation from Branches or Auxiliaries.
