been continued up to the present

our auxiliaries under the efficient
supervision of Mrs. Mehler. In all
we have had 2S5 students under in

issued very soon to the enrolled pu-

The Importance of this work and it's
final results in the improvement of
living conditions in Steelton can
hardly be overestimated.

Home Service Work

continually in amount and variety,

we have undertaken to investigate

in the territory covered by our

Service Section.
Membership Campaign Results
The annual rollcall just completed
resulted in a total of 1850 members
compared to $500 at the Christmas
rollcall of 1918. This decrease is
due in part to the reduced earnings
of the majority of our inhabitants.
but mainly to the feeling, which
seems to be prevalent to some extent
in every community, that with no
further necessity for providing hos
pital supplies and daily comforts to
our soldiers, the work of the Red
Cross is over and deserves no further
support from the public. The
necessities of war have shown what
the loyal cooperation of this COM
munity can accomplish with the
proper direction from and relation
to such strong centralized organi-
zation as the American Red Cross.

At the election which was held be-

lined briefly the accomplishments of
the Steelton Chapter through the
height of the war period preceding
the signing of the armistice. Our
work during the last year has been
along different but no less essential
lines, more of the everyday hum
drum things near at hand, in place
of the high keyed war work on sup
plies for the armies abroad.
From the signing of the armistice
last November until early in August,
most of the work in our work rooms
was in connection with the supply

faithful workers through warm

problems and needs for which
through our war work we have a

the solution of these many and COM

loyal support and cooperation.
The Red Cross is only a tool in our

by the results that we secure,

poor, whether we have with us or

DIR. Nudge Speaks
one of the vital points of the make
up of a real American is to be willing
t. work and be able to do that work
well, said the Rev. DIR. Lewis S
Nudge. pastor of the Pine Street
Presbyterian Church in addressing the
annual meeting last night, on Ideal
Americanism."
The speaker pointed out that first
OF all one must be occupied to show
his ambitions and abilities. No occu-
patton develops in the true American
the qualities of diligence, efficiency
enterprise and sympathy and tast, and
the possession of these qualities en-
ables the individual to appreciate and
practice the art of living with men
Dr. Nudge declared. Added to this
education is a requisite of the ideal
American and still more an ideal
American must possess a degree OF
religion, he said.

tensions. Due consideration to such
patent facts should and has been
| given by the commission in the mat
ter now before it. AS the commits
sion has repeatedly expressed, the
/ public interest demands that the
utilities by which the public are
served shall be safeguarded by be-
| ing permitted, to secure revenues
sufficient to meet reasonable costs
of service, provide for proper re-
serves, and to secure for them fair
return. Communities cannot pro-
gress, nor obtain efficient service, If
| these public utility mediums. so
requisite in daily business and So
sial life, are denied the right to just
and reasonable support.
Reduction Ordered
"It does not appear, however, from
the facts before the commission in
this case that there should be any
substantial denial of just and rea-
sonable revenues to the applicant
company, by adhering to our former
| order for the period of time it has
yet to run, in refusing the present
application and directing the appli-
cant to return to and again place in
effect it's schedule of rates which
were operative under our order prior
to the date upon which the Fed
| orally imposed rates went into ef-
F.. feet in Pennsylvania. The figures
submitted by the company as the re-
suit of operation during the war
time conditions are as yet inconclu-
sive in determining the business or
reasonableness of an increase of ap-
proximately twenty per cent. The
company's testimony projects the es-
innate of operative increases on an
ascending scale into a future period
of several years. The commission
would not be warranted in basing a
conclusion upon the conjecture that
higher costs of operation and serv-
I,ice than those which have already
been reached will be the experience
Ihis company. To so decide would
sense foreclose the rights of the
e paying public. If the future
r'sSall reveal the necessity for rate re-
! adjust ment and the hypothesis upon
which this application is so largely
predicted is demonstrated to have
become an actually, prompt relief
can be readily secured and will be
promptly granted.
Sterilization Necessary
Costs of service and production
leading to ever increasing burdens
upon the consuming public have been
expanded, as aptly described 'in an
alarming vicious circle" There must
come a point of stabilization at
which industrial and economic con-
ditions can be held firm against eth
er dangerous imitation or ruinous
contractions. Great public utility
corporations coming in contact with
the intimate life and interest of the
people at countless points, deriving
their right to exist from grants of
public franchise and depending upon
the general public for their prosper
GUS corporate existence, can do
more under existing circumstances
