DISTRICT NURSE TO
WORK HERE FOR [. [. E. C.

Days in Schools and Homes of
This City

Word was received here Monday by
Mrs. G. Il. Smith, from past county
president Of the Federation Of Wom-
ems clubs, Mrs. Asa Newman, that
the district nurse for Ionia county,
Gertrude Thomas, would be in Beld-
ing Tuesday evening to begin her
work on the health survey. She COM
pleted her work in Portland before
coming here and also did part of her
work in and around lonia.
The nurse expects to complete her
work here withing a few days, as
only six weeks has been allotted her
for the whole county. The condition
of the roads in the rural districts is
making the work in the country i'm
possible and additional time may be
given her.
Miss Thomas comes here under the
direction of the county federation Of
women's clubs. This organization
pays her expenses and salary while in
the county. The funds to meet the
expense were raised by the clubs by
general sale of stamps few weeks
ago.
While here Miss Thomas will visit
all the school rooms Of the city and
advise with teachers, students and
parents on the best methods of COM
batting diseases. She will be enter
tanned by people in sympathy with
the movement and who will open their
homes for her. Her work is most es-
scntial to the community and is re-
ceiving the support Of everyone.

TELEPHONE GIRLS
ANSWER MANY CALLS

Miss Presley says the storm Satur-
day kept the telephone girls on the
jump constantly answering CALLS They
had hard work getting to- aEdS from
their homes in the morning and at
night and were obliged to prepare and
cat their dinners in the office with the
receiver in one of their hands.
The intense cold and sharp gusts Of
wind operated like electricity on the
wires and the girls frequently receiv-
ed shocks when at their work
Miss Presley says the company's
operatives want to give the best pos
sible service at all times and under
all circumstances, but it is a hard
thing to 60 up against the elements
and take the. buzz and burr out of ev-
cry message when the wires are go
ing fiippity-flop every minute. Ger
tainly the telephone girls are entitled
to lot of credit for the work they
are doing.

CHARTER REVISION
MAY Be SUBMITTED
At NEXT ELECTION
COMMISSION FOR DOING WORK
CAN ALSO BE VOTED UPON
IF MEASURE CARRIES

General revision of the city charter
is possibility in the near future. The
matter was discussed at length in the
council meeting a week ago by City
Attorney +. l.. Warner and is to come
up for consideration next Friday
evening again. 1t is quite probable
the council will take a favorable vote
to submit the proposal TO vote at
the coming spring election. The vote
for revision and also the vote on the
members of the commission to do the
work can be taken at the same cleo
ton. If the vote for revision is lost
of course the commission would not be
valid. Should the vote for revision
carry and also the commission be
elected the revised charter could then
be referred to the people at the fall
election for adoption.
Sentiment favoring a general revi-
sion is and has been strong in Belding
for long time.

AUTO MAIL SERVICE TO
SAGINAW FROM RAPIDS

Postmaster Hagadone of Grand
Rapids has been ordered to, establish
ar auto mail service between Grand
Rapids and Saginaw, commencing
February /. The route Will include
passage through Lowell, Saranac,
Ionia, Lyons, Pewamo, st. Johns,
Ovid, Owosso, Oakley, Chesaning, St.
Charles and Swan Creek. The dis
tance is 1895 miles and the trip will
be made each way six days a week,
leaving Grand Rapids and Saginaw at
five o'clock in the morning and arriv-
ing at the destination at five in the
evening. The purpose of this "star
route" service as outlined by Uncle
Sam is to bring the producer into
closer touch with the consumer and to
provide the farmer a ready means of
conveyance for his products.
This, it Is believed, will result in
better prices for the farmer and re-
duction in the cost to the consumer

SATURDAYS STORM
ECL|PSED FORMER
WEATHER RECORDS
DRIVING SNOW AND FRIGID
TEMPERATURE HAMPERED
ALL ACTIVITIES

The storm of Saturday and Sunday
January fifth and sixth, as chronicled
in the Banner last week was really
tame compared with the blizzard that
swept this section last Saturday and
Sunday, just one week later. Coming
only one week apart residents for
many years here, claim that the
weather has never been equaled in
this part of the country.
=, Beginning Friday the snow fell in
large quantities that night 1t was
accompanied by brisk northeastern
winds that swept the flakes through
every available crack and crevice of
the homes. Before morning the wind
assumed whirlwind movement and
found entrance through holes and
cracks on every side of buildings. II
was almost impossible to heat dwell
ings on account of the storm.
Added to the whirling gale the ther-
mometer began to register lower and
lower temperature from five o'clock
Saturday morning until noon. The
temperature dropped twelve degrees
in less than two hours. 1t reached
twelve and fourteen degrees below
zero by ten o'clock according to the
best thermometers in the city.
Saturdays storm was continued
through Sunday, although the snow
ceased to about noon. Men on every
street of the city began removing the
drifts from the sidewalks Sunday
morning, but the walks were almost
impossible until late Sunday after
noon. Snowplows were started Mon
day morning and by ten o'clock the
main travelled walks were compara-
lively well cleared. The wind had
gone down and some progress could
be made in clearing the snow from
frequented passages.
The last train into the city came
Friday evening. Both the evening
passenger trains went through, but
were not even followed by the regular
night freights. The next train pass
ing was Monday afternoon about two
o'clock when a snowplow made the
dash through the drifts and piles of
snow. Monday night the first pas
senger train went to Grand Rapids.
Because OF the cancelled trains many
travellers were unable TO complete
their journeys. Among them were
school teachers expecting to get to
their schools here before the opening
Grocery stores ran short of some of
the staples because of inability TO get
freight into the city and coal men did
not even dare to wish for the arrival
of more fuel.
There were more frozen ears and
noses as a result of the storm than
has occurred from the cold weather
of the last two or three years put to-
gether. 1t was hardly safe TO get out
into the storm Saturday morning for
this reason. By three o'clock in the
afternoon, however, the temperature
began to rise and better conditions
prevailed.
All day Saturday and Sunday the
streets were deserted except where
people were compelled to go to the
stores for groceries. No deliveries
were made either by the city delivery
company and mail carriers were un-
ablu to complete their routes.
