WHAT RED GROSS
SURVEY MEANS
Community Study to Be Started
Here Next Monday

Tracey d. Waring, chairman of the
local Chapter of the American Red
Cross, had the following to say today
on the community study which is to
be made In this city by the Red Cross
representatives next week:
Tho study that starts next week
has for its purpose the finding out of
things that we don't know about our
community, or that we know only in
fragments. Different individuals have
lot of facts, but the facts that help
town are those the town has about
itself.
Suppose it starts with its chill
dren. What conditions in the COM
munity help and what hinder the
chances for baby's health? What
Is done to protect the health Of old
er children? Do the schools teach
all the children? Do they provide
for physical as well as mental devel-
opment? Do they train the judg-
ment as we'll as the memory? DO
children haze the chance to play as
we'll as work that will make their
home community the most attractive
place in the world to them or do they
want to leave it? What chances have
they at high schools? And do the
schools fit them for the demands of
life7
What about the young people not
In school? Are they developing into
good citizens? What recreation Is
provided for them or are they left to
seek what they can find? Under
what conditions do they work?
What sort of a community is it
for the young people who marry?
Are adjustments and improvements
possible? Are housing conditions Of
a kind which guarantee living in a
hygienic, convenient and comfortable
place?
And the old people of the COM
munity? Are they guarded against
the diseases to which they are par
ticularly susceptible? Are they all
provided with homes?
What things need community at
tention?
(which matter is most important? I?
What can be done about IT? These
are the purposes of the study. The
information you may be asked to
contribute Is part OF this commupi-
ty study and is a contribution there
fore to community improvement. AS
a result Of our study we might find
that we lead the state in many OF
our activities, but unless a city takes
such an invoice of itself, it's citizens
will not know where to give the pro-
per assistance.

COUNCIL To ACT
On JUGO-SLAv|A
EngIand's Influence to be Used
for Just Settlement
Bu The A ssociated Press.

BU inc A SSOctuteU fTeaS.
LONDON, Nov. 28;-Great Britain
has given Jugo-Slavia assurances
that the Adriatic question soon Will
be taken up by the supreme council
and that Great Britain's influence
will be used to secure just ana
equitable settlement in accord with
the life and interest Of Jugo-Slavia,
according to private dispatches.
These reported assurances are CO
incident with the presentation of the
note sent by the Jugo-Slav delegation
to the supreme council in Paris urg-
ing that the Adriatic matter be taken
up Immediately The British note
does not commit the British govern
ment to any definite lines of action.
Diplomatists here are inclined to
view the inactlvities during the past
few days of Gabrielle dAnnunzio. the
insurgent Italian commander at
Fiume, as a hopeful sign, although
there is no disposition to assume that
he necessarily has abandoned his
plan for the annexation of Dalmatia
to Italy.
1t Is believed that the fact that
the Italian elections were unfavora-
bic to his project may have infiu-
enced him to pause and consider the
probability Of success.
Meanwhile official announcement
of PAemier Nitchiis policy regarding
the Adriatic is eagerly awaited.
