Realizing that thu time never was

Realizing that tha time never was
so propitious az right now for teach
ing the highest IDEALS Of citizenship.
the entire present program Of the Jun
ior Red Cross has been framed under
the very inclusive phrase, Training
for Citizenship Through Service" for
others. Since the Junior Red Cross is
the agency through which the Ameri-
can Red Cross reaches the schoolboys
and the schoolgirls, all its activities
are designed to come within the regu-
lar school program, and without Great
ing new courses or increasing the num-
Der of studies to lend it's aid in vitaliz-
ing the work Of the schools.
1.-The thing that is needed" says DR..
Livingston Farrand, Chairman of the
American Red Cross Central Commit
tee, "is not perpetuation Of the Jun
ior Red Cross, but the training and
breeding of sound American citizenship
inspired by the true, fundamental
ideals Of sound democracy. One of the
great conceptions in making the Red
Cross contributor to better citizen
ship In our American democracy Is the
realization that after all the sole hope
Of any nation is with the children of
the country
The plan of organization Of the Jun
Tor Red Cross makes the school--pub-
lie, parochial and private-the unit,
not the individual pupils. Mutual serv-
ice, helpful community work such as
cleanup campaigns, care of the sick,
promotion of health regulations, par
ticipation in civic and patriotic move
ments-all these creative agencies de-
signed to translate into life and action
the regular school program are parts
Of the machinery which the Junior Red
Cross places at the disposal of the
school authorities.
Graded. study courses giving prac-
tical methods of civic training, supple
mcnted by pamphlets and helpful sug-
gestions, are supplied to the local
schools by the Junior Red Cross. An
elaborate plan for promoting an inter-
change Of correspondence between chill
dren in different sections Of the United
States as well as with children in for
eign lands is being devised and will
take a prominent place in the eStab..
lished classroom program.
In promoting the general cause OF
child welfare, Red Cross courses In

ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts to the
Board, assists in appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men "lost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors in
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities, and in some in
stances living clubs, so these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings aud the fun which must go with
effective school work.
To The American Red Cross Institute
for the Blind near Baltimore, Md,
more than half Of all the Americans
blinded in the World War have come
for training. The Institute, through
the Red Cross, long ago conducted an
exhaustive industrial survey to deter
mine the vocations for which blind
men could be fitted. AS a result it is
putting forth well trained men equip
ped to meet the social, civic and eco
nomic requirements of their respective
communities.

The ideals and the objective OF the
Junior Red Cross are embodied in the
pledge of service which the pupil takes
when he signs the membership roll and
pins on his coat the Juniors badge.
The pledge which binds together serv.
ice and citizenship reads:
"We will seek in all ways to live up
to the ideals of the Junior Red Cross
and devote ourselves to it's service.
1--WE will strive never to bring dis
credit to this, our country, by any un-
worthy act.
1--WE will revere and obey our coun-
try's laws and do our best to inspire q
like reverence and obedience In those
about US.
1--WE will endeavor in all these ways
as good citizens, to transmit America
greater, better and more beautiful than
she was transmitted to u.s."
At the foundation Of this school pro
gram of the Junior Red Cross is q
great love for Americas children.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
fire, food, earthquake. explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief is
almost Immediately forthccming-foo
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
aaTses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 30,
there was an average Of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
$4,000 were made homeless, about 3d.
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $1000C0,000 and al
most $1,OO0,000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was ex-
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $120.000 worth of sup
plies, 11O Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be. right Oh
hand to help them in every way.

THE TAX MATTER.

The State could save good deal
of money if the State tax commission
were done away with. They could
also save the people some trouble. If
there is a single useless commission
in South Carolina-and there are
probably several of them-the State
tax commission must undoubtedly be
the most useless. After the office
has been abolished, let some legls-
lator introduce and have passed
law to tax property according to what
if is worth and that will end the mat
ter, If a man owns fifty thousand
dollar stock of goods, let him pay
taxes on fifty thousand dollars. II
he owns a fifty thousand dollar farm
let him pay taxes on fifty thousand
dollars. Why all this percentage
business, the business that requires
a man running a little store which
barely makes living for himself
and his family to pay more taxes
than the owner of one of the finest
farms in the State? Any justice in
that? Looks very NH as II the
State tax commission has run out OF
something to do.

Death of Little Girl.

Little Eulalee, the eight year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Ehr-
hardt, died at the home of her grand
mother, Mrs. S. A. Rowell, Monday
morning after an illness of several
weeks. The remains were buried on
Tuesday afternoon at Ehrhardt.
During most of her life the girl
had made her home with her grand
mother. For some time past she had
suffered with an abcess in the head,
and about three or four weeks ago
the child had to take to her bed. For
several days previous to her death
little hope was held out for her llte'
and death came as a relief for her
intense suffering.
