full surprise as it was supposed he

an auto and Private Cramer reached

His parents awakened, and finding
their long absent boy returned home
in safety, strong and robust, the same
jolly Earl, their surprise and joy could
not be restrained and he was clasped
in loving arms and made much of and
altogether it was a very happy re-
union.
He spent the remaining hours of
leave with them and returned to Camp
Merritt expecting soon to be discharg-
ed.
Private Cramer is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Cramer, of Wading Riv-
er, and grandson of Mr.. Chas. Bozarth,

AMERICAN RED CROSS
PUSHING HEALTH PLANS
Meeting in Atlantic City High School
To Promote Same.

The plans of the American Red
Cross for a new and far-reaching pub
lie health campaign will be outlined by
Miss VanDuZer, director of the Bureau
of Nursing of the Atlantic Division,
before the gathering of delegates from
Red Cross chapters which is to take
place in the Atlantic City High School
today Saturday.
Back from the war hospitals of Eu-
rope, a company of American Red
Cross nurses will tour the country on
the Chautauqua Circuit this summer,
and in order that chapters in the ter
ritory of the Atlantic Division may be
fully familiar with the purpose of this
campaign, Miss VanDuzer will tell of
the plans as originally worked out by
the Department of Nursing. The pub
lie health program will be put into op-
GRAFTON only in those cities which have
not established a public health nurs-
ing service.
Miss VanDuzer's talk will be an ar
gument for the employment of public
health nurses in every community.
She will tell how the work is to be
carried on in cooperation with state
boards of health and education, and
the State tuberculosis League and
other state health organizations. Chap
ters will be urged to establish nursing
service and to finance it with chapter
funds in those communities where no
organizations for the betterment of
community health exist.
Home Hygiene.
The urgent matter of home hygiene
and care of the sick will form part of
Miss VanDuZer's message to the dele
gates sent to the conference by chap
tiers, auXiliaries, and branches of the
Red Cross. She will explain to these
delegates the Importance of the cours-
es in basic education on these sub
jects for women, telling how the re-
cent epidemic of Spanish influenza
%contagion in the home, how to keep
the health of the family at the highest
possible point, and the household in a
thoroughly hygienic condition.
The American Red Cross, emerging
from the MOL and chaos of war is
confronted at once with the wide
spread human suffering which has fol-
lowed in the wake of war. 1t has,
therefore, in turning its thought to it's
future activities, decided to do every
thing possible to meet. adequately the
health needs of communities.
The work of the Red Cross among
civilians has developed an advance in
care for the welfare of motherhood
and childhood. It's hospital experience
has demonstrated novel and modern
! possibilities not only in dealing with
wounded men, but in the treatment of
tuberculosis and other diseases.
How it is to adapt this experience
to the crying needs that are being re-
ported from all parts of the country
will be described by Miss VanDuzer.
Problems of chapter production and
finance will be discussed at the meet
ing which will open at 10 "a. m, con-
tinuing in the afternoon. Addresses
will be made by Mrs. NJ. e. Baker, di-
vision associate director of Bureau of
Production; Alexander M. Wilson, di-
vision director of Civilian Relief; 1t
Col. Cecil G. Williams of the Canadian
Army, and Charles L. Weibell. Mr..
Weibell will relate how disabled sol
diers and sailors can be restored to
