Miss Stella Fuller an official rep
r6sentative OF the Red Cross Depart

Red Cross peace program Of public
health nursing and health education
Miss Fuller, an American Red Cross
Nurse, whose home IL in Green Bay

with the American Red Cross Hospi
tai No. g. IL well fitted 10 lecture on
home nursing and health protection
As the representative of the Depart
ment OF Nursing at Washington, ID. C,
she brings a message to local Red
Cross Chapters concerning the nation
wide campaign which the Red Cross
Is planning for the purpose OF furth-
ering universal health education and
protection.
The epidemic OF influenza which
has had casualty list Of over 400 900
IL the United States alone. and which
Is not yet checked in many communi-
ties, has demonstrated at terrific loss
or lie the great need for public health
nursing In many communities the
epidemic spread broadcast without
any organized effort being made 10
check H. Reports have come to Ma
tional Headquarters which show that
many persons actually died without
attention. because their neighbors
were too afraid OF the disease to nurse
them and there were no graduate
nurses Ia the community.
A second great argument for the
extension OF Public Health nursing
activities was brought out by the
great number OF reflections In the
army draft Six hundred Thousand
young men were unable to serve their
country in its hour OF need because
CT minor physical disqualifications
which might have been remedied had
compulsory examination by medical
authorities and by the attention OF .

CT the nation some years ago.
Ia order that Public Health nursing
MAJ be introduced in all parts OF the
country a Committee on Nursing Ac
tiTities in Red Cross Chapters is un
der organization. and Miss Fuller will
speak on various ways in which these
nursing activities may be directed &c
serve the needs or the community
Public Health nursing includes many
phases, such as bedside nursing In
which the nurse visits her patients
and gives them hourly nursing care

children. work in factories and indus
trial centers: rural and country nurs
ing: instruction in Red Cross course

When we have been thorough ly aroused to the great possiblll- ties here in our country there is nothing that can keep the splendid town of BRINkLEY down. The census of 1910 gave Brinkley population of more than 5000. Will the present census show a reasonable in- crease? It should show many more than it will? How would you like for it to be ten thou sand? Do you want an increas- ed population? Do you want the people here? Do you want growth and prosperity or are we asking only for privileges for ourselves son John and his wife? If you want growth aie we willing to work for it? Can t we induce factories and plants of industry to locate here? Why not? We have the very best railroad facilities. We have a great agricultural country to draw from. We have a splendid town to live in. We are on a point about midway between four great towns, Memphis on the east, Jonesboro on the north, Little Rock on the west and Pine Bluff on the south, and each of these about seventy-five miles from Brinkley. Can't we boost Brinkley and bring these much needed industries here and make Brinkley a town of 10000 instead her present pop ulation?
The Brinkley argus., 1919-03-07

If you find faults in your town don't spend your time air ing them, try to help it to over come them. Point them out to be sure but do it in a spirit of kindness and well wishing. A man who has the opinion of his town that some people have in this town ought to move out. If you don't like the town do it one good turn, either don't knock or get out and let some one else have our place.

just that much of meeting the reauirements of an ideal town. Do you knock or do you boost? Can the citizenship of this town point at you and say, "There goes a man who is doing all he can to help his town?" Would the town miss you if you went away? Would it know you had gone were it not for your com plaining croak being quieted?

is bad boy and then he will be bad boy. Don't knock on your town and see nothing but bad in it. To be sure there is some bad in it, but there is so much more good in it than bad that it will pay you to look for the good.

The meaneSt man on earth is the man who will deliberately islander the character of his fellow man or his town. Some one said, "Who steals my purse steals trash but he who filches my good name rObs me of my all and that which does him no good" The slanderer should be punished with a penalty equal to that of any other crime that destroys property. An ancient sage said that a good name was to be chosen rather than silver and gold putting ones name and reputation above that of the riches of material things. When the slanderer has destroyed the good name of his fellowman he has robbed him of that which is more value than all the riches of earth. The slanderer is a social vultuIe of the most re- volting type and should be treated as we treat any other criminal.

other unsightly thlngS Snould be kept from the streets. What is everybody's business is mo- body's business. We need some better organization that these things shall be done. The Y. M. c. A. representative who was here Sunday evening asked who was the president of the Chamber of Commerce. Those questioned looked somewhat embarrassed and finally said, "We have no such person" We need to re-organize and let all such matters of civic interest come before that body and have it's approval and then with that prestige we could command at tention. With such an Organiza- ton we could push every worthy move and crush every unworthy one. The first step we can take in the work of general progres will be just such Ia step as out lined above. Let us call the representative business men of our town together and instill into our Business Mems League some new life for it has slept long enough.
 The present drive put over by the Y. M. c. A. proposes to do a special work for boys and es- pecially for the High School age. This is a great work. We need to do something for our boys here at home. Mothers and fathers where are your boys when away from you? Where are they on Sunday afternoons? Where were they on last Sunday afternoon? Some of them were in the alleys of our town gamb- ling. You say, "Oh, no, my boy does not gamble" They were in the alleys playing marbles for keeps and matching pennies. In these games are to be found the first principles of gambling. If your boy was not at games of this kind perhaps he was in a bunch gathered around some vile mouthed boy who was telling him vulgar stories and filling his mind with information that he does not need to know from such source. Parents do not in tend to make mistakes when they turn their boys out on the streets but it is a mistake when we do not furnish good whole some entertainment and amuse- ment for our young people and they have to find it the best way they can. Our moving picture show should be encourage to put on the very cleanest shows he can find because this is one of the most popular amusements for our children that can be found anywhere. People, don't neglect the play life of our young people and provide them with such class that they will not find it in questionable games and in the stories they hear in the back alley. Our churches should take up the matter of seeing after the social life of our young people. They can reach a great number of them. The Y. M. c. A. can reach a great number of them and the two organizations should work hand in hand that every young man and woman in this tOwn shall be cared for in a social and in a recreation way. Don't let our young people feel that we have no interest in them. The training they are getting now will make or mar them for to- morrow. Not bad boys and girls but neglected ones should be the conclusion we reach in this m a fl nf
