LOCAL RED CROSS
WILL AID THE SICK
Home Service Division Making
Organized Effort to Care
for Influenza Victims

The fact that there are number of
families in the community who, for
various reasons have found it impos-
sible to cope with influenza and who
are not able to obtain proper care and
assistance, has made it necessary that
some organized community effort be
made to see that no one goes without
attention and care. Not only does the
safety of the community demand this
but common humanity demands it.
In order to supply the necessary or
ganization the Home Service Section
of the Red Cross will undertake to list
all families needing assistance as well
as all persons who are willing to go
into homes where an emergency ex-
lists for the purposes of rendering aid.
In order to accomplish this it will be
necessary that every individual and
organization in the community lend
their aid in placing in the hands of
the Home Service Section the names
of families needing aid and of per-
sons willing to volunteer therefor. The
Home Service Section will place the
volunteers in the homes needing them
but the community must furnish the
names of the volunteers.
The great need of this aid does not
arise so much from lack of financial
ability as from the fact that in many
cases whole families are afflicted,
which makes proper care impossible.
Remember this and reflect that your
assistance will unquestionably pre-
vent suffering and save life. This is
not time for fear or selfishness
The occasion calls for courage and self
sacrifice. This community has been
kept singularly free from influenza
fatalities. We can continue to keer
it so if we are willing to come to the
aid of the physicians, nurses and af.
flicted families. The numb. of those
already aiding must be multiplied.
If you are willing to volunteer fol
service or if you know the name OF
another who is willing, notify Mrs
Howard Whitbeck, secretary Of the
Home Service Section, phone 553, OF
M. M. Moulton, chairman, phone 761
during Office hours, otherwise 1131.

MISS OPAL BONSALL
DIES IN SPOKANE
Former Kennewick High School
Teacher Succumbs to Pneu-
monia following Influenza

Miss Opal Bonsall died at 9:15
o'clock last Saturday evening at her
home in Spokane, of pneumonia which
followed an attack Of influenza. The
funeral was held from the family
home Is E. .27th Avenue, Monday af-
ternoon at 1:15. ~
Miss Bonsall was i'll only four days
having met her classes at the North
Central High School on Tuesday, the
day the Spokane schools were closed
for the second time on account of the
influenza.
For three years Miss Bonsall was
member of the Kennewick high
school faculty as head of the CONNER
cial department and the news of her
death came as a great shock to her
many friends in this city and sur
rounding country. No teacher of the
local high school gave more general
satisfaction in the school room or made
more lasting and warm friendships in
the community than did Miss Bonsall.
She was tireless worker and entered
into every phase of the schools ac-
tivity with spirited enthusiasm that
won the admiration alike of students,
faculty and patrons. For two years
she was coach of debate and turned out
two of the best teams the local school
ever had. During her last year here
nearly all of her spare time was de-
voted to work for the local Red Cross
branch and her summer vacation was
devoted to the same cause in Spokane.
Recently when the Spokane schools
were closed much of her time was CIV
en- to work for the influenza hospital.
Miss Bonssll resigned her position
here to accept a position as CONNER
cial instructor in the Yakima high
school and from there she was elect
ed to similar position in the North
Central school. She was a graduate
of the University of Wisconsin and
the University of Washington and her
record as teacher was ooe of con-
tinued advancement.
Miss Bonsall is survived by her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. II. Bonsall and
a sister Vera, for two years a MEM
ber of the Kennewick high school fac
ulty and now instructor in English at
the North Central.

FLU" EPIDEMIC
AT STANDSTILL
Apparently Little Change in the
Number of New Cases-95
Last Week, 81 This

Being between Kaiser Bills pro-
tege and the deep, dark blue sea is
mild and pleasant diversion COM
pared with being mayor with a "flu"
epidemic in progress, f you don't
believe it ask Geo. w. Sherk. He has
been waited upon and waited for, he's
been laid for and laid upon, he's been
set upon and sat on, importuned, har-
pooned and now he's marooned-all
same as up tree.
He says it is very evident to him
that there are two schools of thought
in the city; one wants school to keep
and the other doesn't and there
seems to be about six of one kind and
half dozen of the other, In sheer
desperation the mayor last night once
more assembled the city board of
health, the school board and some Of
the citizens and talked over the same
things that were talked over at the
meeting last week with the same re-
suit, the school board voting unani-
mously to keep the schools open and
the board of health voting to keep the
closing ban off public meetings.
1t is evident that the two schools of
thought extend to the city's medical
profession as well as to the laity.
From the first DR.. Tullar, who claims
the epidemic has kept just one lap
ahead of the physicians, has been a
strong advocate of the most stringent
preventative measures, including the
closing of the schools and prohibit
ing public gatherings. DR.. Morrison
has taken a more moderate view of
the situation and holds that little is
to be accomplished toward the ulti-
mate stamping out of the disease by
putting on a closing ban.
Apparently the epidemic is just
about at standstill with about the
same number of new cases this week
as last. DR.. Tullar's records show 95
new cases during the six days from
Monday morning of last week until
Saturday evening and 81 new cases
during the five days from Sunday
morning until Thursday evening OF
this week. His record follows:

Sometime between next Monday
morning, December 16, and the follow
ing Monday, December %, every resi-
dent of this community will be asked
to renew their allegiance to the
3sWorld's Greatest Mother" the Amer
lean Red Cross. Those who are not
now members will be asked to become
members and those who are will be
asked to renew their membership. 1t
is the hope of those in charge of the
local campaign to be able to send In
a 100 per cent report from the Ken
newick branch.
This is not to be a fund raising
campaign, but purely a membership
campaign, the slogan of which is "All
you need is heart and dollar" Ow-
ing to the influenza situation it will
be impossible to conduct the campaign
by personal solicitation as was the
membership campaign last Christmas.
Local physicians advise against at
tempting to send solicitors into the
homes and consequently the local
branch must rely upon the patriotism
and the loyalty of the people to con-
duct their own compaign by answering
the roll call ct such places as will be
designated as enrolling stations or by
mailing their membership fees to the
cashier of the campaign.
The local campaign is to be conduct
ed under the direction Of tho Branch
organization with A. r. Gardner as
chairman and H. R. Vibber as treasur-
er and fees for membership may be
mailed to either. No receipts for
membership are to be issued this year
but every Christmas member is to be
given q 1919 button which is to serve
as an official receipt. Red Cross VIM
dow flags will also be given out again
with small crosses for each addition
al member in the family. The sale OF

sociation for the Prevention OF Iu-

be given ten Red Cross Christmas
seals.

ignated as Roll Call stations where
memberships may be taken First Ma
tional Bank, American Security Bank

store, Courier Reporter office, V1bber-
Clifford Drug Store, the Finley post
office and the Hover Postoffice, or the
membership fees may be mailed to. a
R. Gardner, chairman, or Il. K. VlDper
cashier, and ell checks should be made
payable to H. R. Vibber, cashier.
Details for conducting the campaign
at Richland have not rs yet been ar.
ranged, but the work will be carried
on there by the regular Red Cross or
ganization, of which Mrs. T. J. Chal,
, craft is chairman.

FORMER KENNEWICK
RANCHER Is KILLED
Alfred Schafer Shot by Neigh
Dor While Flowing III
His Field

"A special dispatch to the Oregcnian
from Heppner, Oregon, under date OF
December IL says:
4 C. A.. Morey, 40, a farmer in the
sand country, 20 miles north of Lex
ington, shot and killed Alfred Schafer,
a neighbor rancher, yesterday.
Schafer was blowing in his field
when Morey rode over from his ranch
and into Schafer's field and emptied
his .44-calibre revolver at Schafer as
the latter sat on his plow. -Four shots
took effect and death was instanta-
neous. There were no witnesses to the
shooting. Morey turned and rode
home, where he left his horse, and
taking his automobile, drove to Lex
ington and gave himself up to Deputy
Sheriff Scott, who brought the man to
Heppner last night and lodged him
in the county Jail. !.
Schafer's body was brought to Hepp-
ner today and an inquest was held
tonight.
Morey is reported to have made a
statement to Deputy Sheriff Scott in
which he intimated that Schafer had
ruined his home and that he rode over
and killed him. Morey has a wife and
four children. Schafer was a widow
er, with one daughter about 15 years
old. He was highly esteemed by all
his neighbors.
Mrs. Flora Bowers, who had kept
house for Schafer and cared for his
daughter since the death of his wife
saw the plow team coming to the barn
without driver and thinking there
had been an accident, went to the
field and saw the body.
Morey refused to make any state
ment tonight regarding the shooting
further than to say that he felt that
his action was highly justifiable.
