MONEY WILL HELP RED
CROSS WORK IN COUNTY
Rural Communities Manifest Much
lnterst in Coming Of Public
Heath Nurse.

Undoubtedly one of the reasons
why the smaller communities are re-
spending SO generously in the men,
bership drive for the Red Cross
is because of their interest in the
public health nursing project. Not
long ago Miss Elizabeth P. Van Pat.
ten. of Burlington state superiptend-
ent of public nursing and Miss ATaude
Galusha OF the county chapter made
a tour in which they reached nearly
every town in the county and all of
the towns in which Red Cross
branches have been established. They
found the people everywhere enthusi.
astic and interested.
The Red Cross nurse who will be
located in Bennington county will
work mostly in the smaller communi-
ties. A committee from each Red
Cross branch will be selected to co.
operate with the nurse, to make an
nouncements of her coming and to
provide places for the clinics and
meetings of instructions which the
nurse will hold Wherever medical
inspection is permitted by vote of the
inhabitants she will visit the schools
and Will also work in connection with
the district health officer, Dr. III. w.
Eliot.
The nurses duties include visits, to
the homes of patients, supervision of
condition of expectant mothers. ma.
ternity nursing, infant welfare, child
welfare, tuberculosis work, classes in
hygiene and home care of the sick up
on request.
This is wide program and to II.
nance it requires the expenditure of
a considerable fund. One-half of every
membership dollar and all OF any con
tribution exceeding the dollar mem
bership is to be retained in the coun-
ty treasury for Red Cross work. One
half of each dollar membership goes
to the national organization. -es.,
The fact that the Red Cross is like
ly to come in direct contact with
any home in the rural towns of the
county is adding to the interest mani
tested by these inhabitants.

y "English Political Situation"
The Fortnightly on Saturday is in
charge OF the Committee on Literature
Mrs. George S. Mills chairman.
The committee have gone bit out
side the immediate limits of their sub
jects, but with a purpose which will
commend itself to the members of the
club.
They feel that they are fortunate
in securing Rev. George A. Butterick
of Rutland, TO speak upon "The English
Political Situation"
Mr. Buttrick is native of England
and the son of an English Wesleyan
clergyman. He was educated in the
schools and university of his ma
tive land. He entered war service at
the outbreak of the world war and was
invalided home after some time in the
trenches in France. Shortly afterward
he came to this country. He has been
pastor of the Congregational church
in Rutland about year. He is
speaker of Unusual gifts. with much
distinction in the matter and manner
of his style.
Mr.. Buttrick has heard most OF the
Parliamentary leaders and has closely
followed the trend of English political
events during the war and since. His
address will be popular and informing.
and comes at time when most in
teresting developments are expected
in the political life of England.

mended as Methodist university pas

Maryland is still in doubt with Demo-

Yesterdays election in Massachu-
sets will go down in political history
as one of the most momentous in its
annals because of the great issue OF

which it was answered. Governor
Coolidge, defender of the sovereignty
of government was reelected by
plurality of 10000 over Richard II.

same two candidates were opposed to
each other last year, Coolidge winning
then by about II 900 plurality.
