GIVE YOUR SUNDAY SCHOOL
COLLECTION TO THE NEAR
EAST RELIEF

On Sunday November n the
Sunday School of Rankin county
are asked to give their contribu-
tions to help save the children OF
the land of Christ from starva-
tion Aand death. Last year this
same call went out all over our
land and $1,500,000 came in re-
Spouse. Thousands of children
were saved and are now sheltered
in Near East Relief Orphanages
because of the generosity OF
American Sunday Schools.
This years problem is twice the
problem of last year. Conditions
of war are still existent in the
Near East and there are now as
MANY thousands of destitute
as there are cared for children
within. The gates are besieged by
the hungry and inside there IS
such an overcrowding that the
admitting of any more Is an I'M
possibility.
The conditions this year must
greatly exceed those of last year
if the relief workers are to be en-
abled not only to do justice to
those within the gates but TO
snatch any of those thousands
without, from an inconceivable
fate.
Last year the Sunday Schools
Of Brandon gave over $50. Surely
the Sunday Schools of the whole
county can give from times as
much. Let's try
The collections may be sent TO

kin County Bank, or Miss Juanlta

Filling Station Gossip

A.
Lew Mccall says that motorists
who come through Columbus en-
route for Kansas City have about
the following conversation when
they stop at the filling station
here:
If it's a Cadillac, the driver
saws: "How far is it to Kansas
Citv?" Zone hundred and forty
miles, is the reply. Gimme ~
gallons of gas and gallon OF oil,
saws the driver. Then comes .

iP-T-A. LOCALS

| There were SO present at the
meeting Of the P-T-A., at Johnson
Hall, Friday afternoon, Nov. Is.
DIR. May Jones talked on Health
and prevention of diseases, was
greatly enjoyed by all, and so was
the round table discussion. DR..
Jones made it plain she is in Ran
kin County to help in every pos
sible way toward improving health
conditions. This is a great oppor-
tunity for Rankin County parents,
and all should do the follow up"
| work with the children, suggest
ed DR.. Jones.
In the recent health examina-
ton in Brandon School, 80 per-
cent of the children have granu-
lated eyelids from the defective
lights. Is not this sad comment
airy on the care you are giving
your child? Just a small increase
in taxes for every one would be-
nefit all children if applied on a
new building.
The most seriuos defect DR..
Jones has found so far in the
county is underweight, caused by
malnutrition. Will you not be in
terested enough to see that your
child receives the proper nourish-
ment to correct this and bring.
your child ot normal blend all pos
sible aid to perfecting the organi-
cation of nutritution class in the
Brandon school, and at home, insist
on the proper diet to bring the
weight of your boy or girl up to
normal. Diet, exercise, and rest
will make your child healthy If
properly supervised.
(! DR.. Jones complimented the
Brandon children on having good
clean mouths, a very important
item to health.
The next meeting of the P I
A. will be held at Johnson Hall on
Dec. 2 at 3 o'clock. Let us see II
