As the time approaches for the
Fourth Roll Call of the American Red
Cross, which takes place from Novem'
Der II to rs, many people all over
the country are asking how their last
years membership fees have been
spent and what are the Organizations
plans for the future. Full statements
have been made from time to time,
and the financial records of the Red
Cross both in the chapters and for ma
tional work are always open to the
public, but many people have neither
time nor inclination to study them.
and the simple statement that public
health nursing is one of the most i'm
portant phases of the Red Cross pro-
gram means little to a person who has
not made a special study of the work.
1t is necessary to understand just
what a Red Cross public health nurse
means to some specific community to
realize the Importance Of what the or
ganization is doing. Take the little
mountain town Of Highlands, N. c.,
for instance, a summer resort with a
winter population of about three hun
dred people, situated on a table-land
on the side of mountain, eighteen
miles from q railroad over roads that
are practically impossible for about
eight months In the year. Highlands
has no hospital, no dentist, no trained
nurses and only one physician, but
It has a Red Cross chapter. And last
year the Red Cross Chapter applied
for a public health nurse, that Is. a
graduate trained nurse who has taken
special postgraduate training in pub
lie health work. The Nursing Depart
ment of the Southern Division sent
Miss Margaret Harry, nurse who
had been trained under a Red Cross
scholarship and who thoroughly un-
derstood mountain conditions. to fill
the place.
One Of Miss Harry's first moves af-
ter she became acquainted with the
people and won their confidence was
to open a Health Center. Health Cen
ter Is another term that means little
to the person who has not seen one
In operation. The Red Cross Health
Center at Highlands is the lower floor
of the Masonic Temple, donated, rent
free, by the Masons for that purpose.
1t is separated into three rooms and
q hall by partitions which Miss Harry
built herself because Of the scarcity
of labor. One of the rooms is a rest
room and general clinic. Here are
the scales for weighing and the appa-

TO SICK and NEEDY IN town AND COUNTRY
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE is REAL GOD-SEND
AndH Hopes to Increase Number Through
Fourth Roll Call.
Athens Banner, says, in part:

I Athens Banner, says. in part:
went in to ask Miss Crawford
the Clarke County Red Cross nurse
about her work recently, and l was
not only interested in what she had
to tell me, but aroused as to my own
responsibilities in the matter of health
had an idea that Miss Crawford
duties as county nurse consisted in
going about nursing charity cases. But
no, indeed. That just shows how ig-
norant l was of the sort of an invest.
ment l had made with my Red Cross
dollar.
Miss Crawford works on the theory
that an ounce of prevention Is worth
pound of cure. She says she has
not time for what seems to be tech
nically known as bedside nursing"
When anyone in the county is taken
sick, Miss Crawford will go into the
home and show the members of the
family how to nurse the patient. She
will stay perhaps two hours at time,
and for such visit you may pay her
d vi lily SChlb, Vi CNCh LA
teen cents, II you prefer not to accept
charity, and she will explain to you
what is, needed in the case of the
particular illness you are nursing and
help you with the first steps.
In Tuckston and Oconee Heights she
has organized regular classes in homi
nursing. These classes meet once q
week in Oconee Heights, once every
two weeks in Tuckston, and Miss Craw.
ford shows her pupils, at their leisure
and under more favorable circum.
stances than when there is actual Ill.
ness, the same things that she shows
the housekeeper when she is called
into home where there is sickness.
In East Athens she has Little
Mothers Club, where she Is teaching
these same things to the girls.
And last Saturday she started q
Health Center in Winterville. She
told me they were going to start a
Health Center next week in East Ath.
ems.
And in giving a dollar last Deem
Der to help finance this undertaking,
l feel that you made a good invest
ment Don't you?
The Southern Division Of the Red
Cross has placed seventy-four public
health nurses in the five states of
North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia and Florida. A successful
Fourth Roll Call will make it possible
to continue the work of these nurses
and to add to them many others for
similar service throughout the divi.
sion.

HIGH FREIGHT RATE
ON SACKED CORN

As a result of the increase in
freight rates the rate on corn is very
high. Oats and other feed stuffs,
such as shorts, horse feed, etc, are
15c from Chattanooga, while corn
is 33c per 100. which is quite diff
ference in rate. A sack of corn
weighing III IBIS. received at this
depot by a local buyer drew a
freight charge of Bic, or nearly
one third of cent per pound.

The following is a good rene
dy for chicken cholera: When
fowls are found dead about the
henhouse on rising in morning
is an indication of cholera. Sc
cure good span of broken poi
son oak vines and steep in hot
water for two hours, enough to
wet mash for 20 or Is hens. Let
them have what they will eat of
the mash. best of wheat bran.
This checks the dying. Keep
using remedy until fowls all ap
pear well. Morning and night
is often enough. To keep them
well let them drink water off of
the broken vines in clean water
ing troughs. Use fresh vines
every three or four days.
This remedy was learned from
a lady in 1884. who sold forty
five dollars worth of eggs in one
season when they sold for 6 Ia
cents dozen. She also had
great success with young fowls.
Her remedy has been used sue
cessfully up to the present time.
| carried off 13 dead hens one
morning. used remedy and lost
two more and third day all were
doing well. Be careful and do
not get poisoned handling the
vine.
The new Jasper Gin is seeding
cotton with increasing velocity. |

more as experienced. Cotton
wagons reach gin by sunrise and

The ground for the contem-
plated basket and box factory
has been surveyed out by the
Messrs. Hackworth. This will
be a great help to the community
when completed.
Everything quiet around Jas
per. but all are working with
vim and enthusiasm, and all
seem to be enjoying themselves.
New buildings are being erected
and more needed.
A lot of old saw stocks are be-
ing moved toward the mill and
will be put to use soon. Glad to
see the people interested in util-
izing the surplus left in the
woods.
DR.. Gillian is having a couple
of buildings erected on his farm
near South Pittsburg.
Everybody get busy this fine
weather and prepare soil for
spring planting. Let's have a
moderate cabbage crop early and
a late one for kraut about frost.

Editor News:
We left Chin Wang Tao, China,
after our leave to Pekin had expired
September %, 1920 The trip from
there to Port Arthur, Manchooria, is
131 miles, and took the ship about
ten hours to make it, AS we steam.
ed around the spearhead of Lao
tung peninsula and dropped the
mudhook in Lu Shun bay, everyone
of us felt thrill 60 thru us as we
saw the silent, gigantic hills stretch
ing heavenward on all sides.
Port Arthur has in some respects
one of the best natural Notifications
in the world 1t seems to the aver
erage laymaD as If it would be i'm
impregnable and was always thought
so until the Russo-Japanese war.
Since then many people think that
the fort was bought from the Rus
sian officer IN charge.
Bright and early Tuesday after
noon some four hundred of us left
the ship with an idea of seeing the
port of which We had heard so much.
Most of us were not disappointed in
what we saw. Port Arthur has been
improved and made quite modern
by the japanese in recent years,
203 Meter Hill was the most in
teresting to all who visited it. 1t
was from this spot that the Rus
slams directed their guns against the
japanese until over fifteen thousand
were killed in the assault. 1t was
only after the Japanese planted
their eleven inch naval guns on TIA
Meter Hill that the hold of the Rus
slams became precarious. From 203
Meter Hill can be plainly seen Ak
asaka, Namako and TIA Meter Hill.
All of these hills had been strongly
fortified and held by the Russians,
but were captured, one after the 9th,
err, together with 203 Meter Hill.
From this hill can also be seen
plainly the Tigers Tail which helps
to form the Harbor and which was
also strongly fortified by the Russians.
1t was the last to fall into the hands
of the Japanese.
Most of US visited the museum
where are kept all the Russian war
trophies captured by the Japanese.
Here can be found old guns, and
guns which have been shot almost
to pieces. Swords, guns and every
kind of war material conceivable
can also be found in this place, which
indeed took the eye of the men of
the Huron.
The soldiers memorial which |
stands on hill overlooking the city,
took our eye and many of us climb
ed to the very top of this historic
monument. 1t was built by the
Japanese in memory of the many |
fallen heroes in the war. The crem-
ated remains of over $4,000 Japan
csc are buried under this monument.
There are about fifteen thousand
inhabitants in the city proper, which
is notioeably clean(0. Most of them
we're found to be either Japs or Che
nos. The South Msnchoorian rail-
way runs, or more properly termin-
ates here, coming from Dairen, (which
is thirty-seven miles away and is the
port am now writing from.
Next I will tell of Dairen, Man
chooria, which has been named by
the sailors "the most beautiful town
in the world" not accepting those in
the land of our birth, and for that
reason we call home.
