Home Hygiene and Careof the Sick.

The conservation of the health of
our people, whether in timeof war or
peace, is a national service, as well as
a home duty. The prevention of con-
tagious disease is almost entirely
matter of home hygiene and the res
for the maintenance of civ
ilian health must be borne in the i'm
mediate future more and more by the
women in our homes.
To further universal health educa-
ton and protection, the Red Cross is
urging the extension Of its course in
Home Hygiene and Care Of the Sick,
and believes that this instructionshould
be available to every woman and girl
in the country, This course is not in
tended or expected to prepare women
to assume the responsibilities of a
graduate nurse in a case of serious i'll
ness, but it does fit them to care for
minor illnesses and emergencies oe-
curing in every household,
Miss Halbert, a graduate nurse, sent
out by the Gulf Coast Division of the
American Red Cross will begin classes
in Brooksville on March 9Th.
All those desiring to avail themselves
in one of her classes will please com

Father and Son banquet day will
soont be here. This day shoQ be
looked forward to by every father and
son in the United States.
The date for the National Father
and Son week has been set for Fcbru-
airy sixteenth to Feb"lary twenty.se-
cond, closing on WashnGtor's birth
day
The boys of the Agricultural Il 7h
School are givinga banquet in honor
Of their fathers. There will also be a
program rendered, and we hope to have
a Y NJ. C. A. speaker.
Father and Son week was made a
national movement for the purpose Of
bringing the fathers and sons of Amer
into closer comradeship, to make the
father more Of a pal to his son, and
to let the father see son, and son see
father as they really are. The Unit
ed Statess government has come to
the realization Of the fact that the ia
Their and son Of America need to come
into closer contact with each other in
order to insure prosperity and success
to future generations, and so this
week has ben set aside as a National
Week for the Father and the Son.
The boys of the Agricultural High
School organized a Hi-Y club last year
which has created new interest this
year, and we believe the result will be
of much benefit to the pupils, both
morally and socially.
This movement is one of the best
in aiding young men of America to be-
come better citizens and help in the
formation Of a better Christian ma
ton. We extend our invitation to all
the fathers who have sons in this
school and We hope they will be able
to come and help us make this day the
biggest success possible.
