Samuel F. Smith Speaks

The last speaker at Stake
House Sunday afternoon was
Pres. Samuel F. Smith. His
subject was on the line of Civic
Welfare and Improvement and
the Spirit Of Cooperation. He
handed down some very impor-
tant and live ideas, that of the
cooperation, showing how i'm
possible it would have been for
Snowflake to have advanced and
grown to be one of such impor-
tance without the spirit of CO.
operation. He touched on the
time beng ripe for the installa-
tion of an electric light and pow
er plant and water system for
Snowflake, and he hit the right
key when he declared that these
public utilities should be owned
by the public. He showed how
the electric light and power
plant and water system could be
financed by home capital by the
illustration of how the Snowflake
Stake Academy had been fnanc-
ed and built.
The Herald is with Pres.
Smiths speech and its ideas
of civic developmemnt, and we
are prepared to state that now is
the time to put those ideas into
action-now that opportunity is
knocking at our door.

Red Cross Activities

Washington, D. c., Aug. 81
In response to an urgent request
from DR.. Frank Billings, head of
the Red Cross Commission to
Russia, the American Red Cross
is sending a large quantity Of
medical and surgical supplies to
meet the urgent needs of the
Russian military hospitals. This
supplements an earlier consign-
ment which was forwarded for
immediate use when the Com
mission sailed to investigate the
Russian situation.
The Commission carried with
it 5000, 900 worth of such materi-
al, including among other sup
plies over so microscopes and
As, 900 slides; 1900 clinical ther-
mometers, 288 operating knives,
%, 600 lengths of catgut, 1,700
ice caps, 175,O morphine sui
phate tablets and 100000 anti
septic tablets.
Russia has had great difficulty
insecuring enough hospital equip
ment and supplies to take proper
care Of her large armies. Both
shipments were planned to in
clude a Well-rounded stock of
the most useful chemicals and
apparatus.
In the new consignment, for
which the War Council appropri-
ated $3.50, 900, there are 180, 900
tablets of auinine sulphate. 1000
lbs of cloroform. 10000 tablets
each of atropin and strychnine
for hypodermic injection, SO, 900
doses of anti-typhoid vaccine,
also tetanus antitoxin and dipth-
eria, smallpox cholera and plague
vaccine. 10000 lbs soap, 25 doz-
en- hot water bottles, 10000 lbs
of gauze dressing and pads,
10000 bandages and rolls, 1000
blankets and 6 dozen stethos-
copes, and various laboratory
supplies.
Among other items in the
shipment are these: 5000 &C. digi-
tails, 1000 cocaine tablets, 20
coIlapsible operating tables, IA
400 needles, 200 lbs rubber tub
ing, 10000 lbs. absorbent cotton,
5000 safety pins.
This unit of supplies was pur-
chased in accordance with a plan
carefully worked out by DIR. Bill
lings and his Commission, which
includes experts in medicine,
public health, social service, and
transportation. The Commission
is receiving the full cooperation
of the Russian Government, and
will shortly make a detailed re-
port to the War Council of the
ways in which the Red Cross can
most effectively aid Russia. On
it's recommendations the entire
Red Cross program for Russian
relief will be based.
Henery P. Horn, formerly a
vice-president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Rail
road, member of the Commits
sion, is cooperating with the
American Railroad Commission
previously sent to Russia in Sc
curing the quickest possible
handling of these and the other
relief shipments which will fol-
low as they are called for by DR..
Billings. He has worked out a
plan for identifying Red Cross
consignments so that Russian
railway men will facilitate their
movement, and in spite Of the
congestion of the railroads it is
hoped that these supplies will be
in the hands of surgeons and
nurses in the Russian army hos
pitals in a short time.
