Home Service Busy
The Home Service department,
which is one of those represented,
with the Public Health depa rtment,
has carried the bulk of the work since
the armistice was signed. The local
chapter, through it's home service de-
partment, has cared for and served
former service men and their families
in a quiet and effectual manner. Be-
cause of the confidential character of
the work it must be carried on quietly
and without advertising. with the re-
suit that the public has little informa-
ton and is not fully aware of the
scope of the depa rtments activities.
During one month last summer 1000
missionaries were sent out to for
mer service men to find if any service
could be given them in settlements
with various government departments.
Five hundred answers, all requiring
work, were received.
Contribute to Clinic.
In the public health department the
local Red Cross contributed literally
towards the expense of the venereal
disease clinic at Easthaven which is
under the direction of the United
States public health service.

ing was given to high school girls and

Hold Appointive Offices
Farmers who are curious to know
why no mention has been made of the
election of a secretary or treasurer at
the federation convention are advised
that these are appointive offices and
that the board of directors make the
selections. Several delegates were
informed of this fact and wondered
that no nominations were made by the
nominating committee. President
Brown was reelected without opposi-
tion. One half Of the district direct
ors are elected annually. the rest

mittee dominates the vice presidents,
and this was done during the conven-
ton. But one change was made.

be glad to hold such classes again

After long search a public health
nurse was secured. Miss Florence

general public health work in the coun-

to the modern health crusade and the
prevention of tuberculosis. Under her
leadership the Red Cross expects to
be of assistance 10 the entire commun-
ity as good health of the community
means less poverty and suffering and
better citizens. An automobile will be
furnished Miss Taylor by the Red
Cross to assist her in serving people
in the townships.

Is Second Attempt.
About five years ago Knapp petition
ed for a parole, which petition was
successfully opposed by a number of
Hagerstown people who were friends
of Geisler, knapp's victim. Those
who demonstrated against granting a
parole to Knapp employed two Rlch'
mond attorneys to represent them
when the petition came up for hearing
before the pardon board.
1t is not known whether there VIII
be any opposition at this time to
granting Knapp a parole. Members OF
Geislers family have been informed
that Knapp is again seeking his re.
lease.
According to the testimony intro
duced at the trial Geisler remonstrat-
ed with Knapp because Knapp was
intoxicated and asked him to go to
his home. Knapp did not do so and
at night when Geisler sought to arrest
him Knapp struck the marshal over
the head with jack lever and he
died from the effects of the blow the
following day.

LINDLEY ADDRESSES
KIWANIANS ON HOME
RULE FOR RICHMOND

Individual responsibility must be as
sumed by every citizen if they desire
an efficient city administrator. Home
rule does not necessarily mean COM
mission or managerial form of gov
eminent according to Professor Har-
low Lndley. of Earlham college.
speaking before the Kiwanis club at
their weekly luncheon in the X. of +.
building Thursday noon.
Home rule, as the term is general
. ly applied. is a provision for cities
whereby they must or may make their
own charters and carry on their own
government, with certain limitations,
without recourse to legislature
several miles away which knows moth
ing of local conditions
Mr. Lindley was given 10 minutes to
outline the home rule plan and in
this limited time pointed out that
home rule was different from plans OF
government. Home rule can be had
with a mayor and council form or
government ard does not necessarily
mean a commission or managerial
system.
People Eliminated.
The present system, according 10
HE speaker, takes the fundamental re-
sponsibility out Of the hands OF the
people most interested. The laws as
now operated considers all cities OF
certain population as having the same
problems and hence provisions mace
for one city must apply to all CUES OF
that class in the state.
The advantages of home rule are
that it provides for the framing OF
constitution or charter for each city
as a model for the needs for that par
ticular municipality: it will eliminate
the political boss who lines up local
tiles for the state and national pollt-
zeal parties: and further interest the
citizens in the city by imposing Oh
those who know the conditions, re
sponsiblity," Mr.. Lindley stated.
Must Take Interest.
No plan of city government how
ever formulated. would succeed unless
the responsible citizens took an active
interest in the candidates Tor ONCE
and in the administration, WIS implied
in the talk.
The Kiwanians pledged 100 per cent
support to the Red Cross drive that
will be started next Sunday evening,

Beccher Dixon. president of the Cluo
