interesting program was given. A COM
mittee was appointed to confer with
the Town Board as to the advisability
of securing small park for each end
of the town. The thoroughly success
full picnic which formed part of the
Labor Day celebration is sufficient evi-
dence that we need to provide now, be-
fore all the native trees have been cut
off, public owned tract where the peo-
pie can get together for rest and re-
creation.
Because of certain reports coming
from outside sources regarding our
public dances, the Club voted to ask the
Town Board to provide means for the
regulation and supervision of all dances
and entertainments so that there may
be no occasion to question the moral
tone of our town.

to provide free treatment In public
service hospitals, and compensation
while the treatment is being admins
tered.
The government estimates that there
are fully $4,000 men in this country
who are unable to work at full ca
pacity because Of wounds or disease
contracted in the line of duty who
should be receiving this treatment. So
far only about 1000 men have applied
for such service.
A statement issued from the ma
tional headquarters Of the Red Cross
in Washington shows that great mis-
apprehension exists among the dis
charged men regarding the govern
ment's plan.
ssDue to misunderstanding and mis-
apprehension a surprising number of
diss4led service men are scattered
throughout the country not knowing
the benefits which are still theirs,
the statement read.
"Back to the hospital after he has
donned 'civvies' and tried to keep 60
ing at civilian occupation is about the
hardest order a soldier wants to hear.
Acceptance Of the government offer
does not mean return to service. The
hospitals are civilian institutions. They
are separate institutions, and are not
connected in any way with the army or
navy
1.-THE Red Cross is constantly dis
covering men who, through ignorance
or prejudice, are losing the advantages
of this wonderful service. So effective
has this work become that the govern
ment. has asked the Red Cross to make
this q part of it's regular relief work.
All that is necessary is for the ex-
service man to apply to the nearest
Red Cross chapter. Arrangements
will be made there for him to enter
one of these hospitals after examina-
ton by district public health officer,
and if his trouble is the result of serv-
ice with the army or navy he will be
given transportation and admittance
to a public service hospital.
'The Red Cross is now engaged In
maintaining program of recreation.

problems arising in the homes of disa-
bled men, household and legal Difficult
ties and affording many miscellaneous
services to keep the men who are in

This work Of the Red Cross is one
of the important branches outlined
for itS post war work and part OF
the funds raised in the Third Red
Cross Roll Call, November 2 to IL,

LOANS $4,000 TO SOLDIERS.

- Loans totaling approximately
$4,000 have been advanced to
about 1000 disabled soldiers by
the American Red Cross for personal
uses while these war veterans were ad-
justing their affairs with the federal
board for vocational training. These
loan are in no sense looked upon as
charity either by the soldiers or the
Red Cross, the latter considering this
bit of financial assistance part OF
it's war obligation.
Red Cross liafson officers are In
touch with all the district officers OF
the vocational board and the public
health service. These Red Cross men
are able to help the soldiers when the

the interval between approval for
schools and placement in school, when
subsistence and transportation are
needed by those denied training, and
under various ether conditions.

Most Diseases Preventable.
''The war has accentuated and
sharpened our realization that the
greatest contributing factor in disturb
ing the happiness of mankind is the
question of physical well-being, the
problem of health and disease" DIR.
Farrand said. A large portion of the
disease of the world is preveHtable,
and the people naturally are looking
to organizations that are able to help
and guide; that are built on lines that
beget confidence.
'The organization best equipped for
this purpose is The American Red
Cross. States and municipalities must
conduct this campaign and the local
Red Cross organizations are operating
units. For the last ten years leaders
in health work have sought an organi-
zation capable of co-ordinating the
various local activities into massed
movement which would produce re-
suits. That organization is the Red
Cross.
Nursing Program Developed.
Are we not going to take advantage
OF this opportunity to better humanity
We have here an organization that
represents every national interest;
that knows no party and no creed ,
that has attached to it every type OF
man, woman and child in the United
States and we propose to put this en-.
ergy behind the great movement to
coordinate and bring together these
varied interests so far as possible.
s'The biggest activity which the Red
Cross has undertaken in this field is
the great public nursing program.
The entire movement for public health
depends upon the adequate develop.
