RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion of the 10000
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re
lief operations in Central Europe
while millions of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion of Eu
rope has been used to set up hospitals.
Orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medl
cal units and to help in the general re
construction of devastated areas Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple
ments have been sent to the agricul
tural regions where aid has been Civ
en in blowing the land.
BY the last of this year probably

JUNIOR RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
penters tools for Czecho- Slovakian
cripples-these are only few of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children Of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls Of the United States
are giving fresh start in life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe
They have set up orphans homes in
France, school colonies in Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in Al
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors

At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having a hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can

American school children have al
ready raised something like million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns of cd
ucation, the Junior Red Cross is help

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great adyan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been. neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been. organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as q result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid In the larger
towns the need for reStrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have beer
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground The main object of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.

ring several changes in overdresses

there are ffocks with wide tucks
about the skirt, and kimono bodices,
made of crepe georgette. Fine white

accommodating designers of young

if it is not overdone-and they use
silver and gold thread stitching. A
circlet of small flowers about the

girls and they are taking advantage
of it now.

MUST USE CAUTION

most serious explosion of acety-
lene gas on July 10, 1920, at Split
Rock, Wis, which caused the death
of three members of a family, and
caused excruciating suffering to two
others, leads us to give new warning
on the installation of acetylene ligh-
ing systems.
The salesman may tell you that
explosions are impossible, and Meth
er carelessness nor ignorance makes
the machine dangerous. A machine so
advertised caused the death of young
man in Kenosha county few years
ago.
When the system is properly in
stalled and cared for, acetylene gives
brilliant, steady light. AS electric
ity from central stations is not avail
able, these lights are often installed
in farm homes. People should realize
that acetylene gas is highly explosive
and that carbide is dangerous unless
kept dry.
The main danger of explosion is at
the generator. This tank should be
Installed in a separate, outside well
ventilated and well lighted building,
not the basement of home where
an explosion is dangerous to lives and
property as in the case above stated.
No artificial light or fire should be
within fiftean feet Of the generator
The use of ca1,Ile, lantern, lamp,
match or other open highs il this gen
orator house should never be permit
ted. In the sad case at Split Rock
lantern taken into the basement
caused the explosion.
The generator should be charged
by daylight only, at regular intervals,
and never by a novice. The genera
tor chamber should be thoroughly
cleaned out first, and the residuum
removed from the. building.
The proper supply of fresh,> clear
water should then be put into thetank
and the carbide container never filled
above the mark designated, thus al
lowing for expansion.
The generator building should be
heated by steam or hot water, if pos
sible, nveer by a stove or hot water,
if possible, never by a stove in the
room. The room must be kept from
freezing.
The presence of pungent odors or
a Pickering, irregular flame or his
sing sound at the burners means trou-
BILE and should be investigated by one
who understands the system.
Carbide should be bought in metal
drums only, of not more than one
hundred pounds capacity and only
one drum should be open at one time.
The carbide drums should be stored
in a dry and well ventilated building
and raised from the goor, so that air
can freely circulate under them, so
that a damp floor cannot cause trou-
BILE. They should not be stored in
the generator house.
Only systems tested, approved and
labeled by the Underwriters Labora-
tories should be purchased Even
such systems, must be carefully and
Understandings managed to be safe.
Life is too precious to live and
sleep over possible volcano.

Lasting happiness results from
building ideals into concrete struc-

Advertising News Important

When reading The Brandon
News do not neglect the adver-
Using columns; for they contain
information Of as much value as
any part of the paper. In our ad-
vertising columns are revealed the
friendly and business interests the
merchants have in the people of
this community. There they pub
lish broadcast the articles Of mer-
chandise they have for sale, the
new goods that come from the
market, the bargains you can Sc
cure by taking advantage Of their
sales, and, in fact, the advertising
columns are mercantile directo-
ry, containing the announcements
of the live merchants, who procure
the latest and best the great mar
kets afford and offer their select
ions to you, right here at your
doors. The wise reader will read
every word Of every advertise
ment. 1t is good, newsy reading,
and it will pay you and save you
money. Follow up this practice
with every issue of, this paper and
you will be soon be convinced that
the merchants who advertise in
this paper are not slow in catering
to the needs and wants of the peo-
pie Of Rankin county.
