A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Come back to Bethlehem,
The year is ON the wane;
A truce to strife that wearies life,
A truce to grief and pain.
Oh, heart, return to Bethlehem
And hear its song again!
IF siren voices Turing thee
Have turned thy thoughts aside,
If thou hast quaffed the bitter draft
Of envy or of pride,
If thou in agony Of shame
Hast thy dear Lord denied,
Come back today to Bethlehem
Though thou hast wandered far,
No rest Shall fill thy yearning breast
Until thou see the Star.
Oh, heart, return to Bethlehem,
Where yet the angels are!

See Better Times Ahead

More than hundred of the men
who served the government at a
dollar a year during the war re-
turned to Washington Saturday for
their second annual reunion, conf
dent that the process of readjust-
ment from war to peace was going
forward satisfactorily.
Former members of the war in
quiry board met to organize a per-
manent society, purely, the leaders
said, to perpetuate wartime friend
ships. At the same time, however,
the opinion was expressed that in
formal discussions of this group
which is to meet annually, would
lead to broader understanding of
business problems.
While all Of the industrial and
commercial leaders in attendance
were optimistic in their expressions
they were also conservative.
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, declared
the reasons were obvious why, this
country should soon be on anormal
forward moving basis. Everything
the nation has to have is found
within its borders, he said, and its
borders, he said, and its railroads
had felt no recession in business and
foresaw none.
A similar expression came from
Alexander Legge, general manager

classification of lands as between tim
Der production and agriculture. Heavy
taxes on timbered lands often cause
lumbermen to cut, force them to cut,
whereas comparatively low taxes
would permit them to hold off.
2. The federal government should
be authorized to extend it's forest
holdings.
3. Federal legislation should create
a bureau in the department of agricul-
ture in which study of forest taxa
ton and insurance could be made.
4. Legislation should also be pass
ed to permit survey and classified
ton of forest resources.
|, Among the other matters needing
attention are fire prevention and re-
forestation of private lands, a study
of state and municipal forests. What
earthly sense is there in waiting I'M
til complete improvishment of this
resource compels some action? When
we realize the fact that out of 26,-
100000 acres annually depleted only
100000 are being haphazardly re-
forested at least, we should have the
vision to see that at some time or
other the nation will suffer for lack
of attention to the matter.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER

Timber depletion is one of the
pressing economic problems of the
present period to which thinking men
should give attention. Conservation
was first emphasized during the lat
ter part of the 10Th century when it
was realized that no effort was being
made to replant devastated forest
areas or cut over lands. Now this
problem of reforestation should be
met squarely, considered and some ac-
ton taken by congress to develop a
new system.
The original forests of the United
States are estimated to have covered
S22 million acres and to have 555, 200
billion board feet of timber. There
are left today 1877 million acres of
virgin timber, 112 million acres of
culled and second growth timber large
enough for saving, 1873 million acres
partially stocked with smaller growth
and 81 million acres of devastated and
waste land Three-fifths of the tim
Der originally in the United States
is gone. We have left 463 million
acres of forest land of all sorts which
contains about 2,214 billion feet of
timber of merchantable sizes.
Another phase of this is that most
of the forests are not available to the
great bulk of our population, agricul-
ture and manufactures. One timbered
region after another has given out un-
til at the present time the biggest por-
ton of timber lies west of the prairie
region and even west of the Rocky
Mountains.
This timber depletion has eliminat-
ed the great leveler of lumber prices,
competition between groups of saw
mills located in different timbered re-
gions. Our remaining timber is so 10
Gated that its availability to the aver
age user of wood and there it's nation
al utility, is greatly reduced.
These conditions indicate a crying
need for a national policy of refores-
tation, of conservation, of attention
to subject that has long been re-
garded slightingly. The area of idle
or waste land is being increased in
size by three to four million acres
annually. The state of Massachusetts,,
an agricultural bulletin declares, con-
tains an area of 100000 acres with
in stones throw of it's dense popu-
lation, which is largely idle. 1t is
evident that some policy is vital ma
ti0nal matter. Among the laws which
have been suggested, are the follow
ing:
1. Legislation which will enable
the Forest Service to assist respective
states in fire protection, methods of
cutting forests, reforestation, and the

HEALTH DRIVES
prove SUCCESS
Red Cross Centers Are Teaching
Public How to Keep in
Condition.

Realizing the Importance of COM
batting and preventing diseases this
winter, the American Red Cross
Health centers are centering their eff
forts on health campaigns in the vari-
GUS states of the central division.
The health center is of even great
err service to the well than tile sick,
for by means of health education it
prevents diseases and conducts it's
health campaigns to meet local needs.
A Red Cross health center may be
only a room with a volunteer or paid
lay worker in charge, yet it can be a
most important factor in the preven-
ton of diseases and the promotion of
health in the community. The health
center work has advanced so rapidly
during the last year it now is a part
of the civic welfare organization in
the majority of towns.
For the coming health campaigns in
the states, particular attention is be-
ing paid to the small community and
to the outlying districts. The inf1u-
ence of the chapters headquarters is
being considerably increased or ex-
tended throughout the county by the
establishment of small branch health
centers in the more remote sections.
Volunteers Aid Work.
In most cases these branch centerS
are being placed entirely under vol
unteer management and the exhibits,
demonstrations, lectures and the like
of the mair health service are being
repeated at each of the branches.
In reports from many chapters it is
found that the health center director
does not wait until people call indi-
vidually at the health center for in
formation. She will stimulate con-
slant demand for health information
and provoke inquiry. In this way she
reaches many who otherwise would
be neglected. In still other counties
where trained workers are not avail
able at this time, some women have
stepped in and organized the work and
carried it on until they have received
assistance.
The Red Cross health center is gov.
erned by business principles, applies
business methods, and, in its more
simple form, can be established and
conducted by lay people.
Uses Business Methods.
1t proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is a commodity that
can be bought and sold like brOOms
and soap. Therefore, it establishes
itself in a storeroom in the principal
business section of the community. II
displays it's goods in the form of at.
tractive health exhibits in its show
windows. 1t advertises constantly
and extensively. And it uses every
business and social device to attract
customers.
The Red Cross health center is Oh
service to the sick in that it obtains
reliable and complete information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana'
toria and other institutions for the
sick and the defective; about avail
able nurses, both trained and prac
teal. about .shen. TO cs,.A-;:lte ..-!-ss.--i.
