RED CROSS NOTES

Service to the disabled eX-scrvice
man is the keynote of all the ltera-
ture and posters to be used in con-
nection with the Annual Roll Call
which begins on Armistice Day,
Nov II. Emphasis is placed on the
necessity of the whole nation get
ting behind the disabled men, to the
end that their claims may he prompt
~ and satisfactorily adjusted. I'm
der the terms of the charter issued
by Congress the Red Cross is made
"The medium of communication be-
tween the people of the United
States of America and their Army
and Navy and having been assigned
certain duties and obligations its
must proceed to carry them out.
The first obligation is ITO furnish
volunteer aid TO the sick and wound
ed or armies in time OF war" which
means literally. not merely during
the time of actual combat but just
SO long as men are disabled as the
result Of their service they are re-
sponsiblity of the Red Cross: there
are over, 200 Augusta men who are
disabled In some way as a result of
their services to their country. and
who will continue to need advice and
assistance until everything connect
cd with that service has been ad-
justcd.
1t Is to the advantage OF every
thinking community to make sure
that every disabled man. so far as
possible. becomes an asset instead
Of a liability.

President of National
Education Assn. Speaks
To Augusta Women Voters
Mrs. Charl o. Williams of Memphis.
Tenn, Gives Educational Address
Tuesday Evening-Reports Pre-
sented at Business Session


"Illiteracy wherever found Is
menace" was the theme of the talk
given by Miss Charl 0. Williams of
Memphis, Tenn, president of the Ma
tional Education Association, who
spoke to a large and appreciative au-
dience of the members of the Au
gusta League of Women Voters on
Tuesday evening at the Y. NJ. c. A.
assembly hall.
She said that the way to meet this
menace and to gain better educational
facilities was to show the women.
especially those Of the rural districts,
the power of the ballot and the man.
ner to use it to the best advantage.
Miss Williams gave some interest
ing statistics on the age, experience
and training of the 100000 teachers
in the United States, and also on the
number of new teachers needed each
year to replace those leaving the
service and to keep pace with the in
crease in population, as compared
to the capacity of the normal schools
of this country.
One deplorable fact, she pointed
out, is the absence in many states of
proper laws which would operate to
provide for the last years of those
teachers who have given many of tie
best years of their life for the edu-
catlon or the young people of the ma
ton. Suitable provisions along this
line would do much to bring more Of
the better class Of young women to
take this work as a profession rather
than to regard it as simply step be-
tween school days and marriage.
before her address, which was ex-
temporaneous and which she deliy-
cred with captivating trace of south
ern drawl, there was a buffet lunch
served to about 20 members OF this
organization at which the intention
was that Miss Williams should be the
guest of honor. but as she was ex
tremcly fatigucd, owing to the con-
tlnuouS travel which she has experj
enced for some time, she rested IN
New Hampshire and did not arrive
until about 10 minutes before she
spoke.
The time before her arrival was
taken up with a business meeting in
which Mrs Paul S. Phalen reported on
the State convention Of the associa-
ton which was held at Brunswick last
week, and Mrs. w. ~R. Pattangar re-
ported on the rummage sale which
was also held last week. During this
meeting Mrs Paul Thomas, accom-
panied by Mrs G. H. Brickett, rem
dcred two vocal selections which were

was made by her that Marshal Foch
had accepted the honorary chair
manship for France. The campaign
will be for 100000 to be made up

According to the French official es-
