AMERICAN RED CROSS

Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns OF less

5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There

Ice 10 to assist people to get out or lie
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress OF
both children and adults play q Dig
part.
Recreation is found to be one OF the
biggest needs in rural life. There IL

and other social events which bring

ried on under the guidance OF Red
Cross rural workers TO great advan-
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 result OF community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
tied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up 10 the most enlightened standards.

established and recreational activities

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

Larger Force Needed.

In conclusion, Major Marsh reports:

thousand. five hundred and one re-
quests for assistance received during
the past year and which are constant
ly increasing as the force is becoming
known. With a force OF only two hun
dred and four officers and men this
must be acknowledged and does not
admit of argument. Although the
population of the state has increased
over one-half million since the force
was first organized. the strength of
the force has not increased one single
man
while the amount of pay provided
by the Act of 1919 helped at the time
TO keep the experienced men. the in
creased cost of living during the past
year and the large increase in wages
of all classes of labor. has not only
made it difficult TO secure desirable re-
cruits. but has influenced members
oil the force to resign so as TO accept
much better paying positions.
II would respectfully recommend
the force to be Increased by thirty
five per cent and that the pay be in
creased to conform to the pay OF pc
lice officers OF cities Of the first class.

WORK HAS GROWN GREATLY

A revelation OF the great scope OF
the work Of the Michigan state Ponce
Is given in the report recently MADE
by Major Robert T.. Marsh, commahu-
ant TO Governor Sleeper. This SHOWS
that the troopers on patrol and speciai
assignments have travelled an aesIe'
gate of 597,974 miles during the
twelve months and visited more IMAM
1000 towns and villages.
That the money expended for the
maintenance OF this force is not en-
tirely net outgo is evidenced ny the
fact that the fines collected In state
and county courts in cases brought
by the state Police amounted 10 $751;
476.5O and in the federal courts the
fines were $75,50O. Altogether, 4,5hs
persons were required to take out IL
censes OF various kinds stolen goods
of value of S57 900 were recovered.
In IA monetary way, however, the
greatest accomplishments OF the
force were OF a preventative nature.
Putting out forest fires preventing de-
struction of property. breaking up IN
eipient race riots, protecting bahHs
and other business establishments In
the smaller cities and villages, guard
ing orchards from raiders and similar
services bulk large in potential saw
ing of loss.
During the year l,046 arrests were
made for almost every crime from
murder down. OF those arrested So2
were convicted during the year, 50
cases were pending, 80 prisoners had
been TUNED over to other officers ana
only 10 were discharged. This proves
that the state Police were exceeding
Nv careful in the arrests made.

ment is larger by $57, SCI 81 than that Of
March, 1919. The fact that the enor-
nous work connected with the settle
ment was completed in less than four
days proves the excellent manner in
which the two county officials conduct
their records. After the reports from the
various banks throughout the county,
relative to the tax collections made by
them, had been received, the work OF
figuring out the settlement went forward
and was carried out without a hitch.
AS usual, Messrs. Vogel and Berg have
the distinction of being the first county
officials to report their March settlement
to the state auditor ...

That the city fathers are still in doubt

at the council chambers, which was
attended by representatives OF the
different banks and by the members of

it will be best to add another unit to
the present power plant or to build an
entirely new structure The discussion
at the meeting, which conferred about
the bond issue which will have to be

in regard to this question, but it was
emphasized that all due consideration
should be given the present imitation
