MAJ. GESSFORD PLEASED
WITH TRAFFIC CAMPAIGN
No Let Up in Enforcing the Rules
in 1921, He Tells Mem
beers Of Force.

Maj. Harry L. Gessfofd, superintend-
ent Of police, feels certain that the
new year will record fewer traffic cas-
ualties than the year that Is about to
close. The traMc campaign WAS fol.
lowed by a decided reduction in the
number of accidents. especially those Of
q fatal or serious nature. the police
reports, and it is believed the lessons
taught will not be soon forgotten.
In a message to members Of the
force today the superintendent made it
plain that footfnen, as we'll as mounted
men. must strictly enforce the traffic
regulations. He told them to pay par
ticular attention to the section Of the
regulations which Furnishes reckless
drivers.
There are probably some footrnen
who take the view that it 10 not par
ticuiarly up to them to give close at.
tention to the question Of reckless driv-
ing Of motor vehicles" the supertntend-
ent states in his message. but it must
be clearly understood that such an at
titude on their part constitutes nothing
short Of willful neglect Of duty.
ut is up to each and every member
in the department footnaen as we'll as
mounted men. to enforce the traffic
regulations wherever they may see
them violated. and it Is only through
the concerted effort of all members Of
the force that traffic accidents may con-
tinue to be reduced"

The War Council and the Ameri-
can Red Cross appropriated 100000
in 1919 to be used for scholarships
and loans for post graduate nurses in
public health nursing. At first it was
only open to military nurses who had
been in war service, but later it was
extended to all enrolled Red Cross
nurses. This fund was exhausted last
fall so the American Red Cross has
again appropriated 100000 to be
equally distributed between it's divi-
sions for the scholarships. This fund
carries $500 for a four months course,
or $500 for an eight months course
This appropriation also includes loan
fund to be used independently for the
courses or in connection with the
scholarships.
