DR.. RILEY MAKES COMPLETE
REPORT ON RELIEF WORK
fContinued from page -

The Red Cross. IL 1t meets o u ap-
provul will be glad to continue for
such limited time as may be necessary
to re-enforce the local communities In
this fundamental work of family re-
Mobilization. as 1t may be called.
Returning now to the health prob
lem, that has been both acute and
grave. / wish to say hat while the
community was still recovering from
the shock of the explosion. the infiuen-
IA germ was working almost undis-
turbed, when all at onc there fared
up a great number of cases of infiu-
enza. They probably had beer gradu-
ally appearing, but we had been so
disturbed by the catastrophe, that they
were not observed. When the situa-
ton became outbreaking the Red Cross
began to institute emergency hospitals
to take are of the cases of influenza
and pneumonia which were coming to
: its attention by the score.
Today IL has becn possible to CO.
ordinate the work of the State Depart
ment OF Health, the L.. 8. Public Health
Service, the Local Boar of Health and
the Emergency Medical Service of the
Red Cross into an organization and a
plan of action which we believe will
furnish medical and hospital care for
the sick in the Amboys within the next
4S hours, and which we hope may get
control of the epidemic in these com
munities by the end of the week. A
more detailed statement of What has
been done and what the situation Is al
this moment, will be made by the
members of the Staff, who are in i'm
mediate charge of these lines Of work,
both with respect to the disaster relief
and with respect to the epidemic. This
work would have been impossible e
cept for the control and cordial atti-
tude of the Citizens Committee tina:
were appointed in the stricken COM
munities. Nc words of praise can de-
scribe the devotion, sacrifice and ef-
fciency of the staff and the volunteers
both local and otherwise in this heroic
situation. If mistakes have been made
or IL conversations have been blunt. let
us hope that they may be ~pardoned In
the remembrance of the good that has
been dcne and the strain that has been
upon us all.

SUBSCRIBERS FOR
". s. STAMPS ARE
ASKED TO REDEEM
THEIR PLEDGES NOW

ATLANTl, Ga, Nov. 9--The "re-
deem your pledge" campaign in Geor-
gia will be we'll under way within
few days in every county, when all
those persons who pledged themselves
to purchase War Savings Stamps will
be urged to go to some central point
in each town and city and redeem
their pledges
Many of these investors already have
purchased their stamps to the full
amount pledged, and these will be
asked to 60 to the headquarters of the
committee, exhibit their stamps and
get back the pledge cards they signed,
stamped Paid in Full" Those who
have not fulfilled their pledges may
purchase the stamps in any amount
at the headquarters Special offices
conveniently located will be establish
ed in every town.
Thousands upon thousands Of no.
.ification cards are being mailed to
subscribers who have not kept their
pledges. reminding them that Uncle
Sam is relying upon them to keep
their promise to the nation.
Most of those who call to redeem
their pledges have found they are able
to buy more stamps than the amounts
pledged, and many are buying in large
amounts One instance of note is that
of an Austrian woman at work in At
lanta, Miss Helen Sommer, who
pledged herself to buy 500 of stamps.
A few days ago she invested fur
Their with the result that she drew her
savings from the bank and purchased
$500 of stamps. She paid $506.40 for
them, thus drawing $3.50 interest for
four years in advance. She said she
thought that was too good business
proposition to be overlooked.
Savings stamps have been placed
on sale this week in every railroad
station, yard Office and other Offices
in the southeast, for the benefit of the
officials and employees of the trade
to make it easy for them to buy the
stamps This was done on official or
der from B. L. Winchell, regional d.
| rector of arilroads in the South.
A conference of War Sar Savings
Stamps directors from the six states
