RED CROSS TO AID
NURSING PROGRAM

Public health nursing services of
the Red Cross and of local boards of
health in Ohio will be combined into
one organization to prevent duplica-
tion of effort, according to the terms
of an agreement between the Red

The director of nursing service in
tire State Department of Health will

ters will be detailed for duty under

nursing, to be added to the state
health departments present staff of
five assistants serving under the
state supervisor of nursing. One OF
these nurses will be assigned to each
of the states eight supervisory health
districts, which comprise eleven coun
ties each.
The Red Cross agreement is looked
upon by state health officials as {
valuable means of strengthening th'
new Hughes Act health administra
tive system, especially in countie
where shortage of funds for the open
ing year under the new plan ha
made provision of adequate organiza
ton difficult.

The latest complaint regarding the
condition of Medina streets appeared
in the Wadsworth Banner Press
which in it's last issue has the follow
ing to say:
Mrs. George Simmerman wishes it
distinctly understood that she has cut
Medina off her visiting list until that
secluded little hamlet gets busy on
road improvement. This decision was
reached after Mrs. Simmerman had
successfully braved the roads Of the
River Styx valley only to have her
flivver overturned and her party OF
six dumped out in the mud of Medina
village.
Mrs. Simmerman, who came to
Wadsworth from Medina when her
husband purchased the Wadsworth
Pharmacy a year and half ago, de-
cided to visit friends at the county
seat Tuesday. Accompanied by her
three children, Mrs. Chas. Bair and
Mrs. Bair's mother, Mrs. Lance, aged
10, she made the trip without incident
until the streets Of Medina were
reached.
Following the marks of travel
around rut Of proportions ample for
an equine burial ground, Mrs. Sim
norman was forced to drive near the
edge of culvert. Weakened by con-
stant use, the earth began slipping
under the wheels and the landslide
carried the machine over the culvert.
There was general mix-up as the
car overturned and the six passengers
were dumped into the mud. The aged
Mrs. Lance was the first to land and
was the most seriously jolted and
bruised. The other members of the
party escaped without injury. The
machine was considerably damaged.
AS a consequence Mrs Simmer
man is good and sore at Medina. She
rightly believes that after truck had
me with similar experience at the
same place several days before,
officials should have seen to it that
the roadway was repaired before
other lives were endangered. Any
one who has driven to the county
seat in the last five years will agree
that if you should find way into Me-
dina without Drawing disreputable
roads you will surely find then, in
getting out.

OHIO WOOL PRODUCERS
SEEK PURE FABRIC LAW

Ohio wool growers are seeking
national pure fabric law, in order
that the consumer may have the same
protection with regard to clothing
as to food. If the legislation desired
becomes effective, woolen manufac-
turers will be required to place labels
on all goods, showing the percentage
Of new wool, reworked woods or
shoddy, and cotton. 1t is asserted
that this should not mean a greater
cost to the consumer, according to
J. F. Walker, secretary Of the Ohio
Woolgrowers' association. "The price
of woolen clothes does not depend, to
any appreciable degree, on the cost OF
wool. If the farmer got 81 pound
for wool in the grease, with woolen
garments at present prices" says Mr..
Walker, che would receive 10 percent
of the finished product for furnishing
the material. AS matter Of fact
with the price he is receiving fol
wool, he is getting 7 or 8 percent
One wholesale garment man recently
said that if wool dropped to rs cent
pcr pound it would not decrease th'
price of finished garment NOR

reduction that it would never b

Clark was united in marriage to Ellen
Lance. Mr.. and Mrs. Clark became
the parents of one child, a daughter
Mabel, now Mrs. o. G. Belts, OF Ash
tabula. Twenty-Five years ago MIR.
Clark moved his family to Lafayette
into the home which he occupied dur
ing the remainder of his life and in
which he died.
Wilson S. Clark was possessed OF
many sterling qualities. He was sim
pie and direct in his manner and
speech, abhorring all forms of sham.
He was scrupulously honest in every
sense of the word, detesting to the
last degree any violation of that vital
principle of worthy life. And as a
hired employee among his neighbors,
in which capacity he loved best to
serve, he established record OF faith
fulness to his work and in amount OF
service rendered that, in this age Of
labor unrest, is scarcely even attained
to and seldom, if ever, surpassed. His
conception of the duties Of citizen
and elector were very pronounced
and by him were most religiously
as a conscientious husband and father.
While Mr.. Clark never gave the ap-
pearance Of possessing vigorous and
rugged physique, yet his remarkable
will power enabled him to retain his
usual capacity for work until
about two years before his death.
Since that time his health gradually
failed him, his lungs proving to be the
weakest point in his bodily fortifiua-
ton, until last Friday noon he was
called to cross the final threshold of
life and enter the portals Of eternity.
There remains to mourn their loss
his wife and daughter, his sister,
Mrs. H. E. Wall, and a number of
other relatives and wide circle of
admiring friends.
The funeral was held Sunday, Nov.
16, at the Northwest U. B. church,
conducted by Rev. J. E. Paddock and
burial was made in the Waltz ceme-
terry.

cold lines that had led Carey to mako
a sacrifice OF his cherished love letters
and to decide to hurry to his Maine

himself for the thought turned, and
to the wonder Of the passerby, hurried
at rapid pace down the street.
He entered Carey's apartment, to
find him morosely packing his bags.
Carey looked up wonderingly. ana
