STATE BOARD ACTS WISELY

The State Board of Education act
cd wisely and showed the courage OF
honesty Thursday morning when IT
reversed its action of two weeks ago
bv Withdrawing its request for the
resignation of Mrs. Ruth c. Miller.
Ii must be remembered that up TO
This time no charges have really been
made against Mrs. Miller. The only
question seems to be whether II was
good policy for the educational de
partment to authorize trips east to
put New Mexico on the educational
NAV Of the country, or for the OF
ficial> to stay in the office and do
clerical work, and as to whether taey
should stop at first class hotel, or
cheap ones, il they did make the
trips.
The appointment OF Mrs Miller vas
made in the first place largely on &C
count OF the recommendation al the
Federation Of Womcn'S Clubs OF New
Mexico. and It is refreshing to know
that the ladies are standing behind
Mrs. Miller in what they consider
was a discrimination against her.
The board was unanimous IN with
drawing its request for her resigna
ton.

For tile first time since the Am
erican Red Cross was recognized, the
far greater portion of the member
ship fees stays in the community where
the member joins. According to in
formation given out at the South
western Division Headquarters in St.
Louis, only fifty cents of each of the
three principal memberships goes to
the National Association. These mem
berships are:
Annual. SlM.-Contributing, $780,
erstaining $1,000.
Formerly fifty cents of the first
class went TO Washington and W. dol
lars CT each of the other two classes.
The proportion going to National
Headquarters is used to finance the
current expense of the Red Cross and
to pay for National operations in Civ
ilian Relief and Disaster Relief. such
as the floods and tornadoes which
have visited the states of the South
west in the last three years. That
which remains in the community where
it is raised is used to finance the
community program of the local chap
ter and serves in the most direct pos
sible way the people from whom ii
comes.
The Junior Red Cross is conducting
its Annual Membership campaign

towns and rural communities have in

No definite goal in number OF mem
bcrs for the State of New Mexico
has been St, according to Edward
B. Orr, the Southwestern DIVISION Roll
Call Director. This is true with ref
erence to all other states in the Union.
The National Red Cross, through its
Chairman, John Barton Payne. '
stated that the Red Cross has a work
and purpose worthy of universal un-
%erstanding and support and that he
believes the majority of men and wo-
men in this country will wish to have
a part in this work if they are given
d 'oiic'' uhdci s'dnuiis VI us Guar
acter and scope. The Fifth Annual
Roll Call, therefore. is, in the opinion
of its active promoters, as much a
campaign for informing the public on
Red Cross work and plans as it is a
money getting undertaking, That is
why no definie goal is set and why,
instead, the Roll Call Chairmcn all
over the country are trying to en-
roll as many members as possible
without limiting themselves to quotas
and numbers.

departments, by paying the entire
health officers. Its total contribu-
ton has been $4,000.
The National Red Cross paid the
salary and expenses of the nurse in
charge of the Division of Child Hy-
giene and Public Health Nursing in
the Bureau of Health, until these
were assumed by the State. Its con
tribution totaled 100000.
In all, the State Bureau of Health
has been the means of securing SAL
S04.0 from outside sources for
health work in New Mexico during
the past twenty eight months, an av-
erage of $17.916.00 per year..
During the last session of the leg
islature, the American Social Hy-
giene Association sent a representa-
tive here to help in the passage of
the nti-prostitution laws. 1t con-
tinues to aid the Bureau with spec
ial information and advice.
Although doing nc business in the
state, the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company has made a gift to the
Bureau of some of its valuable health
literature. for distribution.
In addition to all of these, there
have been various contributions OF
literature, posters, and other help
full material from the National Com
mittee for the Prevention of Blind
ness, the Y. w. C. A., the National
Tuberculosis Association, and others.
Since this is a report of work per
formed. | shall not mention the plans
that have been made for the future.
Suffice it to let this report stand as
plishment.

NATIONAL PARK ORGANIZATION

The people Of several counties in
the southern part Of New Mexico
and those Of Fl PaSo, through their
commercial bodies. have called a mass
meeting at Las Cruces on Dec. 3rd.
10 promote the proposed all the wear
round national park to embrace por-
tons of Otero, Lincoln, Sierra and
Dona Ana counties.
Many commercial bodies through
out the state will support these citi-
7ens in the very laudable enterprise
they have undertaken.
II they are successful IT will open
the way for northern New Mexico
10 secure similar consideration. The
Jamcz and Sangre de Cristo ranges
both offer splendid opportunities for
National park creation and develop
ment. A park to include parts Of one
or both Of these sections may even
tually be created, but it will not be
until the project has the united sup
port Of the people of northern New
Mexico. and il will not have that sup
port until the agitation for such a
park gets beyond the control of a
small %coteric Of whimsical misfits who
wish to limit its name, area and pur-
poses to their own limited and special
lied ideals.

THE FIFTH ANNUAL
RED CROSS CALL

The Red Cross chapters in New
Mexico have embarked on Armistice
Day on the Fifth Annual Red Gross
Call which will continue until the ev-
ening of Thanksgiving Day and in
which it is hoped to r%e-enroll every
one who is now a member of the Red
Cross and to add many new names
to the roster. Chapters throughout
the state are thoroughly organized
for the Roll Call, and much enthusi-
asm is reported in all districts. The
chapters have been busily engaged
informing their public of the work
they have accomplished during the
last year with the purpose of letting
everyone know lust what the dollar
memberships which the Red Cross is
asking, will do in the communities
where they are enrolled.
The entire peace-time program of
the Red Cross is being outlined in
detail in its specific application to
each community so that the public
will understand the true reasons for
Red Cross activities now since the
War is ended. This program includes
the discharge of Americas obligation
to its disabled ex-scrvice men in the
way OF vocational training, acting as
agent for obtaining over due COM

ARMISTICE DAY AT CAPITOL

Santa Fe showed profound patriot
ism and set an example that might
well be patterned after by a few towns
which have apparently already for
gotten the pledges and professions
made during the war period.
The Capital City staged one of the
largest professions in its history-and
this city is one which has been not
able for patriotic processions-oncr
during the war when the boys were
leaving for the front II was estimated
that over eighty per cent of the en-
tire population turned out to sc .hcrn
off. The procession last FRIDAY Was
followed by an appropriate l,roCtam
Of patriotic addresses and singing.
Fully ninety per cent Of the towns
in New Mexico appropriately observed
