Red Cross

A meeting Of the executive
committee Of the American Red
Croas Chapter, of Big Stone
Gap, was held Saturday after
noon at 3 p. m. ut Gen. Ayers
Office, for the purpose of organ
izing home service in this chap
ter.
Mrs. Doran, of Washington,
representative of tho Potomac
Division, addressed the meeting
and was here in the special in
terest of this invaluable part of
Red Cross work. Mrs. Doran
presented in general way the
purpose of immediate organiza-
ton of this branch and it's chief
characteristics. Mrs. Doran ia
we'll informed, and the personal
representation was much need
and highly appreciated.
Owing to short notice of the
speakers coming, the entire
chapter could not'be informed,
which is regretable.
This branch of work is to be
formed at once, and when the
chief features are understood
it is a far.reaching and wonder
full work. 1t is through this
branch that the American Red
Cross tries to bring hope and
cheer. Much unnecessary in
convenience would be avoided,
If. through this branch, the
ones d Q siring information
would consult these authorities.
So the purpose of Home Service
Work, is to i,npart information,
become acquainted with the
needs of the soldiers family, to
Snow latest report and message
of wounded and dying soldiers.

performance in the early part
of September in the vicinity of

Bird you made a most valuable
reconnaissance. On September
9th during the night an attack
in which you took part was
made on Alpaca. The opposi-
ton was so great that you were
the only survivor. In spite of
this you Immediately organized
second assault. You led it so
successfully that in the face of
fierce resistance the block was
captured and heavy losses were
inflicted on the enemy. After
the block had been taken you
rescued two wounded men un.
der severe sniping fire. Having
returned you were then instru.
mental in beating off two coun-
ter attacks. 1t is not too much
to say that it was entirely and
completely due to your bravery /,

the block was won. Your con-

Insofar as possible this knowl.
edge can be furnished through
the searching party in France,
by the Home Service communi-
eating with Mr.. 4. j. Edmonds,
chairman of tho Civilian Relief
of the Potomac Division at
Washington and not through
the War Department. Mrs.
Doran could not impress too
strongly the Importance of this
noble work and it's instant or
ganization. The service of the
Red Cross is invaluable. When
disaster comes the organization
has to take care of the victims;
while on the other hand, the
Home Service is to look after
the needs ut home. The Red
Cross has suddenly assumed a
tremendous Importance for
Americans, so when you are
called to respond to it, and this
Home Service work, try to do
your part cheerfully.

atty for excessive prices, although 1t
forbids them. The penalties against
boarding are severe, and will be en-
forced in appropriate cases by the
United States District Attorneys in
the various states.
Penalties, however, are poor tools
at best. They should be kept in the
background, and used in the obsti-
nate and fragrant cases. If we have
not the ingenuity and imagination to
secure results without wholesale
prosecution. we deserve to fail. There
should be almost as much joy over
one sinner who repenteth as over the
ninety and nine who go not astray.
Appeals to the Patriotic Spirit
Every effort should be made to
secure cooperation by appeals to
good sense and patriotic spirit, and
by exercise of the gentle art of per-
suasion. Such appeals are effective
even with individuals; but they are
far more effective when made to
trade organizations, or to special
gatherings of retailers in q particular
trade or a particular locality.
The state administrators have had
great success by acting through the
Chamber of Comerce in given town
or city. With the aid of the Chamber.
they assemble the retailers, explain
the situation, obtain the co-opera-
ton of the patriotic retailers, and
create a general sentiment among the
retailers in favor of fair prices. This
procedure is more or less public, and
the influence of public sentiment
helps obtain the desired result. OF
course, the aid of Chamber of
Commerce is not essential.

State Roads Hard
Hit by Big Trucks

State Highway Commissioner j.
Denny ONeil in an interview stated
that the appropriation of 100000
made by the State Defense Commits
sion to the State Highway Depart
ment for the maintenance of roads
for the coming season is very timely.
He said that the unusual traffic over
many of the state roads, caused by
the transportation of war materials,
coal and food, Is great strain upon
the highways. Many roads in the
state We're built with theidea that
they would never have to carry loads
exceeding a few tons. At the present
time there are many five and ten-to
trucks passing over them, which fire.
quently haul loads of equal amounts.
Mr.. ONeil said: George H. Biles
second deputy state highway commits
sioner, who is in charge of mainte-
nance, is now working up schedule
of important roads in various sections
of the state; he is also preparing es-
Inmates as to the amount of money
that will be required to keep them in
first-claSs shape. 1t is not generally
known that the money appropriated
by the legislature for road construc-
tion cannot be used for maintenance.
The only money available for mainte-
nance work is thta derived from au-
tomobile licenses. This year the un-
usual and unexpected expenditures
that have to be paid out of the autmo-
bile license receipts have been caused
by removal of snow from the main
roads of the state, which was neces-
sary in order to enable motortrucks to
run over them"
