COLLEGE GIRLS MAKE
GOOD WASHERWOMEN

That college girls will not hesitate
to roll up their sleeves and turn wash
if the occasion demands, is
illustrated by the story of the Mount
Holyoke college unit of the American
Red Cross, now serving at the port
of St. Nazaire, France. Members of
this unit, casting all dignity to the
winds, worked for days-frosty Win
ter days-in the open, over w%ashtubs,
and as a result salvaged a fire-black-
ened and brine-soaked cargo of socks,
bathrobes, pajamas, hospital shirts,
women's and children's winter cloth
ing and numerous other articles.
1t happened that shortly before the
unit arrived at st. Nazaire, a cargo of
Red Cross hospital supplies and ref
ugees garments had been landed there,
bearing the marks of a terrible strug-
gle with fire in the hold of the YES
sci. The cases We're blackened and
charred, their contents soaked with
salt water, and burned fragments of
clothing, black and grimy, protruded
through great holes. The task OF
rescuing as much of the priceless
freight as possible devolved upon Miss
Harris, head of the refugee work il
the western zone. The men Offered
the use of trucks, and the work of sal
wage began.

cause of an epidemic, were requisi

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE.

Discharged soldiers should not let
their government insurance lapse. Ii
they have allowed it to lapse, they
should apply to the local Red Cross
Home Service Section at once for in
formation as to the possibility of re-
instatement.
The insurance policies can be held
in their present form for five years
from the time u president official
ly declares the wal to be ever BY the
end of that per!!eedd Il must be convert
ed into some regular form if the in
sured desires to hold it. 1t can be
converted without further medical ex-
| amination-a fact which will enable
! many men to keep insurance who
could not take out policies in private
companies. AS soon as the details OF
the plan of conversion have been
worked out, wide publicity will be Civ
en- them. In the meantime discharged
and disabled soldiers should keep up
their payments.

Ny Dear Glenn:
Uncle Sam, who has been somewhat
behind in his mail service to us for
the past two or three months, has
finally gotten on the job once more
and a regular deluge of letters has
been coming in during the last few
days. At present l have something
like 48 letters on my desk, and if the
few surviving members of my "coot-
lie" family will just call it a night and
go to bed, l shall answer n that
was particularly interesting, right
now. l will also that the
final funeral rites IN my little friends
will take place in the morning. A
bath has been arranged for at $3.50
a. m. in one of the few available tubs
b. which the town of Mayen boasts.
After that, shirt and underwear will
be cast gently but firmly into the
fire,
The strange part about this whole
business is that during those months
in the field-bathless of COURSE
didn't have a %cootie, and . slept IN
numerous old dugouts and hunks that
looked extremely suspicious. Then the
covers that be decided we can't do
any more shooting, just as we were
getting a running start into Germany
with great expectations Of shooting
up all the German towns between the
Meuse and the Rhine, and tell US to
hike through, treating the inhabitants
gently but firmly and sleeping in their
beds. Well, those beds must have
been my undoing. Either the Ger.
mans who hotfooted it back across
the Rhine or the Doughboys who pre-
ceded US by one day, left hurriedl.
without giving all the little fellows
chance to pack up and go along; 81
they took me as a possible field TO:

his legs do wriggle when you hol
him up by the tail. Then if you pres
him with sufficient force between tn
thumb nails he pops like a champaign
bottle on New Years eve and loses a
further interest in life.
Existence in the army of occup;

of luxury and it is a bit hard to owe

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The work of this department in connection
largely extended because of the federal grants
received in aid thereof The sum OF $3.50
has been received from the Federal Govern
ment for use in this work, but previous 20
the coming of Major Townsend, we had no
one to call upon for assistance in conducting
venereal disease clinics. Major Townsend has
arranged to devote a considerable part
of this time to the work of the State Board
Of Health. DR.. Pache has been appointed
to take the active charge of all detail work in
will assist DR.. Townsend in his clinics and
ALSO take charge of much of the office work
The program. now outlined, consists of
the following program:
l. To follow up every reported case and
give them proper treatment.
2. To stimulate reporting among the doc
tors by giving them expert consulting assist
ance and encouraging them in cooperative
work.
3. A series of consulting clinics at various
points in the state. Major Townsend agrees
that we have no city or town outside of Bur-
iington where venereal clinic could be reg
ularly maintained. We have, consequently,
arranged with him to visit the principal CEN
ters of the state at more less regular in
tervals for the purpose of holding clinics.
To these clinics, the physicians will be in
vited to send their patients, and it will also
be given out that cases not under regular
treatment will be admitted. These clinics, for
the most part, will be held at the local hos
ptaIs
4. The free distribution of arsphenamine,
but under conditions which will assure its safe
administration.
5. A detention hospital for criminal cases
at the House of Correction at Rutland This
has already been completed and I have placed
in the budget the sum of $3.50 as part pay
ment for the equipment of this ward The
state will pay like sum or a little more.
6. A campaign against drug store prescrip.
tions and treatments.
7. A campaign of education and publicity
using moving pictures, lectures and literature.
During the month, diseases have been re-
ported according to the following table:

The Golden Rule

We are gathered here today
From towns far and near,
For fifty years have passed away,
To those who to our hearts are dear.
Neighbors, friends and children all,
Have answered to the golden call,
Listened to the one that said,
Fifty wears have they been wed.
Looking through the mist Of years
Many of joy. some of tears,
To the day when you were wed
And the hopes of love were said.
First in Peacham then to live,
And the toll Of life to give
On the farm upon the hill,
Next the village land to till.
Then came joy of children three,
Chester, Alden and fair Elsie,
Frightening up your happy lot,
Until they were by marriage caught
One is found not far away
Calling in most every day.
One is on the old home farm
Tilling it with steady arm.
The youngest to the west did go
Finding business in Fargo.
So from our numbers here is absent
Distance prevents him to be present
Three from our numbers merry,
Were present in that January.
Fifty years ago when ties were said
And George and Lutheria were wed.
Though Their but children small
They are present in the hall,
Besides them, two sisters yet
Of whom mention we must not forget.
Yet tho or. numbers may be broken
We extend to you loves token
In memory of these fifty years
You have travelled without fear.
May your days so numbered be
That the Redeemer's face you'll see,
When upon the other shore
Days are numbered never more.

Mrs. George Clark's golden anniver-
