 HOME BROCK AM
American Red Cross, Be- sides Serving in Disasters, Will Conduct National Movement for Health
 Betterment

The American Red Cross has an- nounced for the week of November 2 to II, a nationwide campaign to be known as the Third Red Cross Roll Call. This membership campaign Is for the support of the future home ac- tivities of the Red Cross.
 Rapid-Fire Relief.
 As comrade-fn-arms to the Ameri- can soldier. following him and often preceding him into the thick of bat tie, and son all occasions typifying the loving care and solcitude of the folks at home. the Red Cross won the grati- tude of every fighting unit that went into action. With the Twenty-Sev- enth and Seventy-Seventh Divisions the Red Cross representatives distin- guishcd themselves for the perform ance of rapid fire relief measures which saved the lives of hundreds of the fighters in both New York Divi- sions These services were typical also of the services to other American Divisions.
 Major-General John F. O'Ryan, commander of the Twenty-Seventh Division, signified his gratitude for these services by volunteering to do all in his power to aid the Atlantic Division of the American Red Cross in the approaching campaign and will serve as chairman of the third Red Cross Roll Call in the Atlantic Divi- sion. Col. Charles w. Whittlesey of the Seventy-Seventh Divisions Lost Battalion" Brigadier-General George R. Dyer, commander of the First Brigade of the New York State Guard, and many other military lead CTS and service men have enlisted under the Red Cross banner, as token of their appreciation for ser- vices rendered.
 Why the Red Cross Must Go On
 The war is over, but the work of the American Red Cross Is far from ended. Its gigantic organization for relief and human betterment today faces tasks even more momentous than those 1t faced and solved during the days of the war. In the disor- ganized and plague stricken coun- tries of Eastern Europe,-in Poland. and the Near East-it Is com batting fearful epidemics of typhoid and cholera which, unchecked, would sweep over Western Europe and eventually to America with more dis astrous results than those of the h. fuenza Epidemic of 1918. Its pro- gram of relief cannot be abandoned in those countries without removing the one bulwark against disease and disorder which protects the rest of the civilized world.

through to successful completion.


 Supplies of the American Army abroad have been turned over to the Red Cross for administration and dis posal.
 The proper utilization of these SUD- plies for humanitarian purposes makes it necessary that the Red Cross keep some of it's forces in Eu. rope for a long time to come. An other duty to be performed is the es- tablishment of schools to train native workers in the war-stricken coun- tries in American standards of san- itation and social work. Unless this vital measure Is accomplished the value of much that has been done for the relief of Europe will be lost
 Peace Program at Home.
 In addition to these European ob- ligations, the Red Cross is laying the foundation for great Peace Program at home. It Is applying the lessons learned in war to the problems of peace, and will be the great teacher of public health, sanitation, care of the child, first aid and home hygiene in all the communities of the United States where well-organized social agencies do not exist.
 Already the Red Cross has organ ized, in hundreds of rural districts and city slums. it's classes in Public Health Nursing. where wives and mothers, school children and indus trial workers are being taught the simple principles of health and sani- tation.
 The Red Cross must go on. It must carry on in Europe until the ob- legations of the American people are fulfilled; it must carry on at home as an auxiliary to the Army and Navy of the United States, as the care-taker of our wounded and disabled soldiers, as a disaster relief organization to b Ing relief in fires, floods and epi- denies, and as the one great unify- ing, cooperative agency in the field of public health.

OLIVER GOLDSMITH.

The name that brings tears and news of his death was brought to his friends, Burke burst into tears, and Sir Joshua Reynolds put away work for the day. The author of the Trav- eller, the Deserted Village, the Vicar of Wakefield, She Stoops to Con- quer, has built @ nest in the heart Of humanity. At all times merry, thoughtless, good-natured-an in debt, was Oliver Goldsmith. Says a critic, "In all English literature there is nothing more thoroughly English than these writings produced by an Irishman." Oliver Goldsmith was born in County Longford, Ireland, on this date, in 172S. He died in 1774. Sent to Edinburgh as a medical stu dent, he lived there a wild and a shift1ess life. and started for the grand tour relying only upon his flute. Returning to London in 1756, he did hack work for booksellers, was an actor, chemists assistant, lived in garrets, treated his friends was the worst enemy to himself. Tn art he was a man; in simplicity, a child.'' Generous, splendidly gifted, always in debt, utterly improvident Said Dr. Johnson, Let not his frai1tfes be re- membered; he was very great man, D His monument is in Westminster Ab- bey, in Poets Corner. He was buried in the Temple.
