Children Must be vacclnatsd

Rumors 10 the effect that rule
requiring school children to be
vaccinated has been suspended;
have been so generally circulated
as to Justify the uncertainty, now
prevailing, as to whetehr such a
rule is still in force. However. I
wish to say that communications
received at this office from memb-
ers of the State Board of Health
definitely state that the rule is still
in force and that its suspension is
not being considered. The latest
OF these communications is tele-
gram from the Attorney General.
dated December 7th.
1t is, therefore, the duty Of
school officers, teachers and pat
,ons, as we'll as of the county sup
erintendent. to encourage, and, it

with the rule. Accordingly, all
are hereby requested to see that
children who attend school are
vaccinated or can furnish eccep,-

ed to exemption from vaccination

Red Cross Chapter is Is per cent
OF the population of the county
Let us see that our branch gets its
quota.
On Christmas Eve, as the night
that precedes the great holiday
settles down over city homes and
farm homes, the telegraph wires
will be carrying the story of the
drive to Washington and to the
trenches and the Christmas candles
will be telling it locally.
Hang the Red Cross Service
Flags in the windows of homes and
stores that are entitled to them
Put them in the windows NOW and
keep them there. Let people
know who is helping.
AT 1870 O'Clock on Christmas
Eve candle is to be placed back
of these flags. From coast to coas,
the candles will be- lighted at the
same hour. Chapters are request,
ed to arrange with the local
churches to have the church bells
ring at that hour and to continue
the Ginning at half our intervals
until 9 p. m.
AS a further means of lending
beauty and significance to this
ceremony it is hoped that in every
community where the plan can be-
carried out Red Cross workers will
be organized into groups to pro-
cerd through every neighborhool
singing Christmas carols. The
Ginning of the church bells. the
voices of the singers, and, more
than all, the rays of the candle
shining through the service flags
and the crosses that are upon them
are to tell to all passers-by the
story of who is helping.

Red Cross Transportation

As result of congestion and
various war conditions affecting
the shipment of goods across the
ocean and on the railroads ofyEu-
rope, the American Red IS has
organized special IT, .tation
service to handle t. quanti-
ties of medical a, .ef supplies
consigned almc .ly to France,
Belgium, IT. A :rbia and other
belligeren+ tries. This new
branch \ va Gross activity has
been mad. possible through the CO.
operation Of the French, British
and Italian governments, United
States Shipping Board and the
leading steamship and railroad
companies. President Wilson has
taken a personal interest in the es-
tablishment of the service.
AS result of the cooperated ef-
fort for the shipment Of the eSsel.-
tial Red Cross supplies abroa, has
been placed at the disposal of the
War Council. The Red 4, S. will
have space OH every steamer chart
ere,i by the United States Shipping
Board and its supplies also will hc
carried OH army transports. Ship
ments will be distributed among as
many steamers as possible so as to
afford the minimum chance of loss
es at sea.
Getting supplies across sea does
not. however. end the problem of
transportation. The French rail
roads are overtaxed and have all
they can do in taking care Of the
military needs of the army. In
consequence The Amdrican Red
Cross has gone about the develop
ment of its own motor transport
service. At present, this service
embraces some four hundred mot
or vehicles, with capacity to
handle about $50 tons of supplies
daily. The establishment of this
important service has necessitated
appropriations to date approximat
ing $1,5O0,0O0.
