A dog poisoner is said to be at
work in Clio, fine little hunting dog
belonging to M. c. Doyle being the
| first victim. Through hard work on
the part of veterinarian the dog
was saved. Such things as this
ought not to be. Everyone who
keeps a dog now pays high tax for
the privilege of doing so or runs the
risk of heavy fine. This ought to
entitle the dog owner to some con-
sideration Anyway, the placing of
| poison where animals can reach it is.
crime under the law and persons
doing so can be severely dealt with.

the raspberries, both black and red,

did one year ago and in some locali-
ties are badly winter killed: Straw
berries are said to be looking very
well, while plums and cherries are

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less
than 5000 population benefit In a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
Ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be n Of the
biggest needs In rural life. There Is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social li% for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action,
As a result Of community organiza-
ton, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction In Home Nursing, Care Of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatlonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv.
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.
