The Fourth Roll Call.

Since the time of its demoblll
zation, the Red Gross has careo
for more than 100000 soldier:
and sailors families.
It has found in health education
and in the teaching of sanitation
and hygiene, a work that is q con-
tiLuation of it's war record, fur.
nishlng over one thousand public
health nurses as community lead
ers along these lines. 1t has es-
tablished and trained classes in
first aid in connection with indus
trial and civic organizations as
we'll as ia domestic life and is
striving still to be the reserve of
the army and navy, the auxiliary
of the American people and the
friend of suffering humanity.
This fourth roll call is not a
campaign, it is merely the yearly
opportunity for American men
and women to pay their annual
dues and renew their membership
in the Red Cross. This organiza-
ton does not claim responsible
ty to analyze and solve great
problems, it simply contemplates
practical help in domestic SANTA
ton, community hygiene and child
welfare.
1t tries to do what its name sig
mites, bring together in each COM
munity a combination of all toe
agencies that may prompt health
in order to maintain q high stand
ard of physical manhood and
womanhood in our country and
the amount ri good work anda
public service rendered by oui
local chapter along this line can
not be computed.
Demands are made constantly
and no worthy one is ever re-
fused; but it takes money to be-
able to respond and unless this
roll call is responded to as it
should land doubtless will beg by |
every citizen of Natchitoches par
lsh, the chapter will be seriously |
handicapped.
In all its work, the Red Cross
has earned a reputation for good
business management, it's financial
matters are not less carefully SUI
pervised than its other depart
ments, and what it did we'll in |
war times, it is certain to do even
better in peace and SO in its pres.
ent ron call the Red Gross asks
for money with clean hands.
II you have not already an
swered this fourth call, do so at
once as your name must, be in
scribed upon Natchitoches roll of
honor.

Our Congressman.

The promptness with which DR.. J.
B. Aswell laid plans for the rebuilding
OF several structures that were des.
troyed BY fire recently at the United
States Public Health Service Hos pital
ut Camp Stafford. near Alexandra,
speaks well for the congressman
from the eighth Louisiana district. It
indicates that he is ready to procure
what he can from the governme mt for
this state and especially for his dis
trict.
Due to Congressman Aswell's eff.
forts, within three days following the
Ere which caused damage estimated
ct more than quarter Of a million
dollars, the superintendent of const rue
ton Of the Public Health service was
leaving for Camp Stafford ito make
full report on repairing or replacing
burned buildings at the hospital"
Some citizens may have been dis.
turbed with the belief that the Public
Health Service might abandon Camn
Stafford's hospital as q result Of ~
heavy FIRE loss. but Congressman A.
well ID optimistic over the situation.
q indicated by advices to his constitu.
ency that existing laws would have to
- repealed BY Congress before aban-
donment could take place.
The hospital should remain at Camp
Stafford and Congressman AsweIl
should be encouraged in his efforts TO
have : rebuilding program inaugurated

tddes, but his prompt and energetic |
