THE JEANERETTE
HIGH SCHOOL,

Prof. Allen Liable, who was
principal of the Jeanerette High

patrons of the school, Of parents

accepting the presentations of the
School Board and in coming to
their relief in this crisis Mr.. lilly
demonstrates high order of pa

RED CROSS NOTES.

The word "Autochir' has been in.
vented by American in France to de.
scribe an American motor truck train
carrying special type of load toward
the front. The first syllable is plai1
enough; the second is from the word
"chirurgical.' the old way of spelling
surgical. Combined they describe an
American Red Cross truck train OF
eighteen camions carrying in knock
down form tent hospital of 200 beds.
One truck transports a complete oper-
ating room ready to be bolted toge,h-
err aud put into operation in few
minutes. It's trailer il steriizing
room which is backed up against the
operating room structure. From thit
trailer the nurse passes sterilized in
struments and supplies to the surge
ons around the operating table. The
other trucks carry double tenting
sturdy framework, floors In sections,
window frames, heating stoves and
full equipment for diet kitchens.
Red Cross construction crews special
