LOCAL HELP ASKED
TO CARE FOR SICK

On Monday evening a joint meeting
of the health committee for the COM
munity organization and the health
committee for the Red Cross was held
at the Library to consider the present
epidemic of illness and devise, if pos
sible, means Of more successfully
fighting it.
The opinions of our doctors had
been obtained and while some of them
were in favor of closing all public
gatherings, others were not. After
thoro discussion of different meth
ods of procedure the matter was re-
ferred to DR.. Brintnall, the new
health commissioner for Medina coun-
ty.
DR.. Brintnall gave it as his person.
al opinion that considering present
conditions but little could be gained
by an attempted quarantine or a clos
ing order. The local Red Cross Sec
retary appeared at the meeting and
made a strong appeal for help in the
care of the sick. She has repeated
calls for help and can find no one to
send. There are cases where every
member of the family is ill and no one
in the house able to do anything.
There is no use in calling for out
side help of any sort. Every nurse
in the country is worked to the limit
of her endurance in her own COM
munity. We will be obliged to take
care of each other.
Any one who feels that they can
help out in any way should report
their willingness for service to the
Red Cross rooms.
Let us not have it said that we dc
not take care of our own.

GRANGER INSTITUTE
is WELL ATTENDED

On Friday and Saturday the in
dependant institute was held at
Granger school house. Two speak
ers were detained on account of sick
ness, but an excellent institute was
held.
Dr. Mary Anderson, of Peninsula,
spoke both days on subjects pertain
ing to health and food. Her address
ses were we'll received. One could
see that she was extremely practical
as well as thoroughly trained along
these lines. The advice that she gave
was such as could be used by every
person present. In her talk of food
she stressed the necessity for the use
Of milk and milk products and empha-
sized the fact that all Of those farm
ers who sold their milk and in return
purchase oleomargarine were not
+, only courting danger in the health Of
their children but were also aiding
in the downfall Of their own business.
Friday afternoon DR.. Davis, Of the
State Vet. Dept. gave talk on test
ing cattle for tuberculosis. He said
that in three quarters of the United
States there is practically no tuber-
culosis among cattle. We happen to
live in the portion in which this dis
ease is perhaps the most important
of all animal diseases. In testing
that has been done in Ohio about six
per cent of the cattle have reacted.
The saving of the other, 94 per cent
and the making safe of the milk that
is consumed is the big problem that is
attempted thru the control of tuber-
culosis. At present Medina county
has about a dozen herds in the federal
accredited list. These are herds
which have had two or more tests
made and in which no animals have
been found to react. From such
herds cattle can be shipped anywhere
in the United States.
Other speakers were j. M. Small
and Rev. Thompson, of Granger
Mr.. Thompson gave couple Of very
Interesting talks illustrated with Ian
tern slides which were much appre.
ciated.
