Health Centers.

In preparing for Public Health
work the Red Cross has believed
that it should announce a plan under
which a community might organize
In the fullest way. With that in mind
a complete plan for the establishment
of Health Centers has been prepared
The advice of responsible health Off
Gals has been sought and every eff
fort made to enlist the support of
interested bodies throughout the
country. The response has been cor
dial and enthusiastic. Manuscript is
now in the hands of the printer and
the plan will soon be issued. The fol.
lowing are important points in this
plan:
(a) The completely organized
Health Center will be a place where
all official and volunteer agencies can
be coordinated, and brought into har-
monious relation for protecting and
promoting community health and eff
fieiency.
(b) The development of a commun
ity health center to its fullest per-
lection must of necessity be gradual.
tc) Many Chapters for various
reasons will not be in a position to
establish Health Centers in the near
future. Such Chapters may find il
possible to undertake educational
work. to make studies of community
health and welfare conditions and to
render particular service to the com,
munity for limited time in order to
stimulate the public to supplement
Chapter effort.
I'D Inability to establish com.
plete centers must not prevent Chan.
ters from undertaking any possible
parts of the Health Center plan or
from rendering every service of which
they are capable in connection with
other forms CT Red Cross activity.
;e) In the Health Center plan as
in all other Red Cross work Chap
tiers must adhere rigidly to the prin.
cipfe of supplementing. reinforcing
and supporting but not supplanting
the efforts of established and effec-
tive agencies, both public and pri-
yate.

Public Health Work

The Red Cross recognizes that the
maintenance Of public health is q
public function to be operated by gov
ornamental bodies. 1t also recognizes
that government today-Iocal, state
and nationals not everywhere pre-
pared to meet these problems, partic-
uiarly since their solution must de.
pend so largely upon the understand
Ing and cooperation of individual citi-
zens. With these things in mind il
proposes to devote its organized en-.
ergies to build up system of opera.
ton and cooperation that will eventu
ally become a part of the work of the
legally constituted health agencies. In
the conservation of child life, in the
promotion of rural hygiene. in the pre-
vention of mental diseases, industrial
diseases, venereal diseases and tuber-
culosis and in the education of the
people in matters of health and the
prevention Of disease the Red Cross
plans to lend its aid wherever It is
needed

realization that higher standards of

women working directly in Chapter

airy groups, and in canteen and motor

piished its complete task While the

Have Repeatedly Spat in Our
Faces" He Declares.

Austin, Tex, June "a Conditions
in Mexico We're pictured as being very
critical by members Of the Senate,
who today urged the adoption of
resolution urging that the United
States recognize that state of was
exists in that country. Carranza was
excoriated for his treatment of Amer
leans and American interests. The
resolution, after date, was referred to
the committee on federal relations and
will come up for final disposition to-
morrow. It was introduced by Sena-
tor j c. Strickland and reads:
THE government Of the United
States is strongly urged to recognize
that a state of war exists in Northern
Mexico between two independent and
distinct factions and that the citizens
of the United States be permitted to
sell supplies to the Carranza govern
ment and its adherents and also to
the government recently proclaimed
by General Angeles as provisional
president; and it is further resolved
that the governor Of Texas is hearth
ly commended for having refused per-
mission to any armed band Of Next
cans whatever to pass across the ter
ritory of Texas to suppress the revo-
lutionary movement or to further
same"
In support of his resolution, Sena-
tor Strickland said it did not declare
war on Mexico.
"The Mexicans have repeatedly spat
in our faces; now think it is time to
call halt. The time has come when
some action should be taken and
American lives protected. am only
sorry that the American troops did
not wipe out the Carranza garrison"

LETTERS SENT TO FARMERS


Minnesota River Valley farmers are
lin receipt of q communicable from J.
j Moriarty of Shakopee, secretary Of
the Minnesota Valley Drainage Asso-
citation, telling them that they have been
assessed ten cents per acre of their land
holdings. This levy is made in accord
,aace with resolution passed by the
representa- ives of that organization at
q meeting held some time ago at Man
kato. The amount thus collected is to.
betused to defray the expenses of the
association in carrying out their plans
for future control in the valley. The
letter mentions the fact that lawn was
passed at the special session of the
State. Legislature making it it possible
for the flood control of the Minnesota
river and its tributaries to be handled
as one project. which places the asso-
cation in a position to negotiate with
and secure from the federal government
material aid in the interests of navigation
and agriculture
Apparently. these are all steps in the
right direction having an influential
bearing on the future agricultural de-
velapment in the Minnesota valley.
