TIES DISCUSSED AT MONTH
LY RED CROSS MEETING

The Home Service Section of the
Red Cross and it's problems were the
chief topics of discussion at the
monthly meeting of the Thurston

the Civilian Relief and Home Service
Section hopes to enter was pictured
by Frank Laube, associate director OF
this section for the Northwest dlvi-
sion of the Red Cross.
Mr.. 'Laube repeatedly stated to his
Red Cross workers that the hope of
the future generations depends upon
how the people of this country meet
the after-war problems and the inter-
est that they take in the problems OF
their community. Among the lines
that the Civilian Relief and Home
Service department of this county ex-
poets to branch out to are:
Child welfare work, health and
sanitation of community, to aid in
any public spirited movements, and to
do social service work among girls.
The idea of the section is to aid the
returned soldiers and their families,
to help in the betterment of the COM
munity, and at all times to give prac-
tical and not theoretical aid.
The following report was made by
Miss Louise Dittman, executive secre-
tary of the Home Service department.

Sling bonus applications, 200; as
sisted in fling compensation for dis
ability applications, Go per cent tu-

lbs; insurance and other informa-
ton for month, 40; financial assist
ance for the month, 9; other assist
ance for the month. 218; total num-
Der of families assisted for the month,

Mr.. Laube commended the local
Home Service section highly for the
work it Is doing and that which it has
done and stated that the Thurston
county section stands way at the top
of the list in the Northwest dixision.
Guy c. Winstanley, chairman of
the Thurston Lounty Civilian Relief
and Home Service. Section. stated that
the county section would gradually
enlarge it's field until fall. when it
hopes to be handling all the work OF
the various branches mentioned by

AS TO FINES o SPEEDING.

I n Saturdays Herald a letter addressed 10 City Commissioner Ray
nolds by y. A. Stage. a business man. made bitter complaint against
a fine OF e5 assessed against Mr.. Stage in the local police court
on q charge Of speeding. The Herald printed the letter because it
believes that every citizen has a right to a hearing and to put his case
before the public, whenever he believes he has been wronged, and
whenever he IS willing to state his case fairly.
Afr. Stage did not state his case fairly. however, since be pleaded
guilty TO the charge Of speeding and paid his fine in police court in
stead OF lighting out the case in court. as he should have done IL he
was wroneed as he alleges and since, in his letter, he went far aield
with sweeping charges Of ineffnenry against the local police force
II so happens that IL there is a single feature OF It's work in which
the local police department has been fairly open 10 a charge Of in
ordinance against fast automobile driving; and IL the local police
Judge has been open TO criticism in the administration Of his court,
i has been In the matter Of the lightness Of the fines he has assessed
against viclators Of the speed law. Recently a number of automo
all Of them were due to reckless automobile driving, but the majority
we're wholly due 20 that crime. The city commissioners, the police
and the police court were awakened TO the menace Of speed law
violations and recently an earnest and conmendable effort has been
made 10 enforce the law.
Mr. Stage, and no other automobile driver, whether he be business
man or not, need expect any sympathy from the public upon con
vction of Al ofense against the speed law, unless he is able TO prove
IN court that he has been unjustly arrested and punished. A fine Of
80 tr rsking life and limb IN the public streets Of this town, is
u joke as punishment, We do not know the facts in Mr. Stagg's case,
except as he stated them in his letter. But we do know that business
men, taxi drivers, drivers Of pleasure cars, persist in violating the
speed laws and we know that the public safety demands more arrests
and more stringent punishment.
As TO the police force Of Albuquerque. Mr. Stage general charge
OF inefhcicncy is wholly unjust There is not a city in the nation, of
equal population, that is Is well policed, as free from law violation
OK the more serious kind, or that gets the result with as few men and
. small an outlay OF money as Is the ease in Albuquerque.
So far as the Herald il concerned we have no sympathy what.
EVER with the vioIator Of the automobile speed laws who persists in
violations and yelps when punished. w have least sympathy Of ali
in the case Of the business man who should know better and who ought
to be keeny interested in law observance. We place as utterly out
side the pale the man who is willing TO endanger the lives of women
and children while speeding an automobile and who depends on
pull with some city official or political influence, TO get him freed
without punishment.
