their prices correspond to the more
attractive ones that eastern markets
offer.
The Federated Clubs contribute to
organizations for the prosperity and
health of the state and receive in re-
turn little or no information concern
ing the expenditures and operations
of such organizations. 1t is no more
than just and right that each club
receive statement of not only mon
eys received, but expenditures and
work accomplished by such organiZa-
tions.
The local health authorities do not
seem to be alive to their responsible
ties in safeguarding the health of
the community, and especially
proper oversight of tuberculosis.
Most contagious diseases, such as
smallpox, typhoid, etc., are generally
promptly dealth with, but houses are
rented to and private families har-
Dor and care for, to a greater extent
than we realize, those affected with
that most deadly disease, so-called
white plague. All of these naturally
frequent public places, drink at our
fountains, and are subject to no dis
ciplinary restrictive conditions.
Some of these measures may seem
extremely radical, but they reach
down to the very roots of the body
polite.
The influence OF the women of our
Federated Clubs, united and rightly
exercised, is calculated to be tre-
mendous power, not only as regards
the good government Of our state,
but in the work of civic betterment.
Since enjoying the franchise, we are
proud to. note that our women take
an active interest not only in the
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-04-02

matters of good government, but in
conditions that affect the home and
the community. Already they make
up a large percentage of our voting
population, and are bound to be reck-
oned with in everything affecting the
welfare of the state.
Women are the natural housekeep-
ers; they are house cleaners. They
feel the responsibility for honesty,
economy, sanitation, right living
more than men do. Perhaps our
work can be established on no surer
than a decided effort to
build up local conditions.

An Appeal to the Federated Clubs of
the State OF Oregon, From the
State Chairman Of Civics, Mrs.
Maud RochO, Ashland, Ore.

Let us work more earnestly than
ever before for civic betterment; be-
gin our spring work by adopting the
slogan, "a Civic improvement CLUB
in Every Town in Oregon" and take
for our motto, Cooperation"
Let every Federated Club urge
upon the city authorities the neces-
sity Of having the annual cleanup
week the first week in May. Let US
urge every club in our town to assist
IN this cleanup campaign. Interest
every organization in your town to
the end that each community be
made 80 clean that mot a fly will
harbor in It,"
In August, especially, Of each year,
let every club urge a campaign
against the weeds, and do away with
the mosquito and fly breeding places.
The taxpayers can procure these con-
ditions II they urge them.
Let every club in the state create
a sentiment that will, in time, make
our railway stations and surround
ings more sanitary, comfortable and
attractive, and not the most dilapi-
dated spot in town. The appearance
OF a community is usually the first
thing to attract the attention of a
stranger. Are you proud of your
community In this respect? What
are some Of the things that you would
select to show a visitor in your COM
munity? What are some of the
things that you would not want him
to see?
Let every club demand that the
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-04-02

threshold of our town create a good
impression for US. Public opinion
can secure anything in time. Have
some enthusiastic civic worker come
and talk to your townspeople. Often
times a story of what has been ac-
complished elsewhere will incite a
community to greater activity.
Have your ordinances regarding
the use Of closed garbage cans, barn
yards, anti-spitting, sanitary toilets,
etc, published frequently. Never
cease to swat the fly" and circulate
literature concerning the deadly ty-
phoid fly. Let each club of the fed
Grafton follow the excellent advice
of our state federation president,
that I'VE summon youth to our
ranks; the young women in our
midst are the club women of tomor-
row. We need the inspiration of
their presence" And they need the
benefit of our experience.
Let the Federated Clubs put forth
every effort to encourage Oregon or
western made goods. Too much
money is going out of the state for
dry goods and food products, ETC.,
that can be purchased at our own
doors. DO you realize the fact that
every time you make out an order
from an eastern catalogue you are
not only depriving your own business
men, but that you are adding to the
wealth OF the east, which is now al
ready rolling in wealth? Your bust
ness men are paying taxes on their
goods, that help to keep up your
cities and towns. Are the eastern
merchants helping your town in any
way? On the other hand, our mer-
chants and producers can largely
overcome this tendency by making

Objects and Aims
OF Red Cross Work

In order to answer the inquiries OF
those who were not able 20 hear the
address given by the field agent OF
the Pacific division Of the Red Gross
on Sunday last, the following data
has been prepared:
The object Of the American Red
Cross is to alleviate and. as far as
possible, to prevent human suffering
in times of peace as well as in time
of war.
When 1t was organized in 1863 its
aim was, of course, to rende" medical
aid to the army, but in 1906 its scope
was extended by act of congress tC
include the mitigation of distress in
cases of national or international ca
lamity, such as earthquakes, fires
floods, famines, mine explosions anC
the like. Since 1905 the Red Cross
has conducted more than eighty re-
lief operations of this character.
A later extension of the work of
the Red Cross is the first aid depart
ment added in 1910, In order to
bring an acquaintance with accident
prevention and first aid within the
reach of industrial workers and 9th
er Interested classes of people.
The active duties OF the trained
personnel of the Red Cross and the
details of its organization need not
be outlined here, but the duties OF
the unframed personnel may be Of
interest.
In time of peace the active duties
of the unframed personnel for pre-
paredness in case Of emergency con
sist in securing funds for the endow-
ment of the American Red Cross and
in increasing its membership to en-
able it to maintain an efficient Or
ganizaton for active service, and in
the organization OF classes for in
struction in first aid, elementary hy-
giene, home care for the sick, and
other special courses
In time of wGr special committees
should be appointed by each chapter
TO collect funds, to arrange for hos
pital supplies, to care for GONZALES
cents. to aid the families OF soldiers
md sailors, and to assist and train
Tor some occupation those perma-
nently disabled in active service.
Every American citizen who can
afford to DO so should become a |
member of Red Cross chapter. |
Annual membership costs 81 a /
year. This is the minimum. For
hose who feel able to contribute |
more literally, there are membership |
ees or S2 and $5, while Sustain
ng membership is so a year, a
Tlife membership $25 in one pay
nent, and a "pat"on membership
100 in one payment FIFTY cents of
ach member ship Zee is retained for
ocal needs and the remainder is sent
o the National Red Cross at Wash
ngton.
Anyone wishing to join the Ash
and Red Cross may pay the member
hin fee to Mr.. Eubanks at the State
iank.
