Public Health Work

Not for many years have the people of
Belfast been rendered a service more
generally helpful to all classes than the
public health work undertaken year ago
under the auspices of the Red Cross.
Many people who do not need, or cannot
well afford, trained nurse day in and
day out, are very thankful to employ the
efficient, specially trained young woman
time as needed, bathes, messages, dresses
wounds, or performs any Of those deft,
skillful services that render an invalid
more comfortable. In addition to this
she is ready during her daily office hours
to advise with parents or others in regard
to health problems, the care of children,
etc.; and cooperation in all ways with
the local physicians and the Board of
Health to further the physical we'll being
of our people. The cost of this service is
merely nominal, SOC visit to those who
can afford to pay, nothing at all to those
who cannot afford it, and any sum be-
tween to those who would like to nav
something but cannot afford the whole.
The cost of this work is necessarily $l5OO
at the very least. 1t was paid last year
mostly from the Red Cross treasurv-the
supply left from the war, supplemented
by special contributions for the purpose.
The Red cross has not the money this
year. What is to be done2 Shall the
work be discontinued or will you help
largely if you are able, with a small
amount if that is what you can affords
The presence of such a nurse is safe
guard for US all, and it is therefore desir.
able and ideal that all should have at
least small part in it. Please communi-
cate at once with Miss Isabel CHM, treas
urer.
| Twenty-Five Red Cross layettes are
nearing completion, but there is still
knitting to be done and yarn has given
out. Anyone who has remnants of yarn
would confer favor by leaving the same
either at Mrs Carle's store, Main street.
or at Miss Maude E. Mathews, High
street, or better still by knitting them
into baby bonnets, or afghan squares
nine inches by nine Even small amount.
! of yarn can be used in this work and fol
crocheting the squares together. The
school children made a good many ot
these squares during the war. If they
have any still on hand they would be ap.
pre- ciated now.
Be prepared to renew your membership
in the Red Cross November 18th.

one of the sisters.
A small class was instructed in thu
fifth degree, followed by the usual we'll.
filled noon hour.
In the afternoon first in the order oj
exercises was the address of welcome-iu
the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Emma
Martln-glven by brother Charles Adams.
VINO among other things spoke very high
ly OF the lessons and instructions given
by the grange, and the good work and
good influence the grange was always
exerting. Pleasing response by Worthy
Chaplain Grace Woods of Riverside
Grange, Belfast
Next, reading by Mrs. Eva Ripley-a
beautiful poem-"The Unfruitful Tree. -
Then the topic, 'Resolved, that the
term of office of the President of the
United States be changed from four to
six years, and that one man be allowed
to serve one term only" opened by mas
ter of host grange, Edwin Martin. He
spoke at length and very Interestingly.
He thought Presidential elections always
caused depression in financial matters,
unrest among peoples, political campaigns
were expensive, great nuisance to the
mail service, ETC., so he advocated longer
term of office. He was followed by W.
M. Aborn, brothers Howes, Paul, Ripley,
sisters Woods, Bowen, brothers Foster,
Adams, Wilson, Murch, and sister Rip
ley. Rather a solemn, practical topic.
but they got considerable fun out of it,
the consensus of opinion being that the
term should not be changed; too great a
risk taking an untried man for six years,
We hope the powers that be will take
due notice of our decision.

day. AT the census eleven oranges re-
ported. Closed in form.

, Rev Walter $ Brown director of i the department of relief has gone over nearly ever road for miles. in the vii cinity of Ensley hunting for her. Search parties in Enslev and Birming- ham have been made up and have gone to look for her. Not a trace has been found.
 The relief workers have two theories regarding her failure to return. Either the woman was taken in by kindly disposed people and IS being cared for. or she is i'll and unable to com municate with the relief organization. Those who saw her that day in the
 city hall believe her case is a genu- inc one All she got the day she was seen was d small basket of food. Wait l ing for her now are number of checks and bills and a number of bun 1 d1es containing clothing.
 i The minister in charge of the relief | work says there is no thought that she l could have been an fmpostor, for the | things she secured were only worth a | dollar or so. while the gifts awaiting ] her are worth in the neighborhood of | a hundred dollars.
 | Mrs Lucas was certainly in earnes. 1 about her plea. She was thiniy clad, and so were her children. The afflic- ! ton of the blind boy was obvious. She 1 said it was the first time she had ever f dSkcu IOI Help. I1tI iiduuS were IHQlS | evidence that she had been doing hard
 work. She had fought against adverse 1 circumstances for half a year. It was l quite evident her pride was hurt when she did ask for help. She cried, and 1 tried to keep people from seeing she
 was crying.
 With what she has been through and the general presence of influenza | here" Dr. Brown said last night, "t p xraT Y111ah tUnrried ah hat has been very cold for several days. Possibly the temperature has kept her from coming back to the office" The gifts received for Mrs. Lucas are being held at the municipal office of relief on the third floor of the city 1 hall and will be delivered as soon as she can be found Meantime the au- thorties are very uneasy about the condition the family may be in and ask that any person who may locate Mrs. Lucas notify the city department of relief telephone Main 65S6, or Rev. i W. $. Brown telephone West End 41S-J.
 The only address she gave was that she lived on road near Enslev Ladies of Ensley are forming q com mittee to secure a house for Mrs. Lucas and the children as soon as they can be found and will take charge Of the family toeshelp them to become self supporting.
 Rev. Brown says that in the work his department is doing is to reha- bilitate families in distress and indi- viduals. and so arrange matters for them that they will become self-main- tainipg.
