Miss Seweu, Red Cross Nurse,
I ReDieUs Conditions in Poland.

Herbert Hoover's campaign for the
Erelief of the starving and destitute
children of the central European
countries is deserving of every con-
sideration according to Miss Olive
Sewell, Red Cross nurse, who re-
turned to the United States last Aug
ust after spending seven months in
destitute, war stricken Poland.
Miss SeweI is guest at the J.
Fl. Law home, having recently COM
pleted a Red Cross campaign in Mon
.tana and other western states. She
will leave here this week for Mime
apolis, her district headquarters.
/, After a minute study of conditions
in Poland and glance at the priva-
lions IN Austria, Miss Sewell is able
TO give some very interesting first
hand data concerning the after math
of the war in Central Europe.
According to Miss Sewell, Austria
and Poland We're the two countries
worst hit by the war, so far as re-.
covering their pre- war status is con-
ce.aed. Poland has a chance and if
left alone to solve its agricultural
problems. will eventually overcome
The present conditions and cssn, with
yery little help feed itself. go
Austria, on the ether hand, is
.iopelegs, without the aid of foreign
rade. Unlike Poland, Austria is not
IN agricultural country and will new
n be able to raise enough food stuffs
); meet the demands Of its popula-
tioa.
"Imn1ed.ateiy following the World
Var" said. Miss Sewell, Poland took
active steps to improve its agricui-
sural conditions. Tie crops were
large the year following the war,
Ind Poland would have harvested
arge cefesKcrop had not the t-ouble
With the Russians brought on an in,
itation of Polish territory. The in.
fading Rolshevik troops of course
ruined all crops in their territory,
shipping food out of Poland and as :
esuit, little Poland was no better off
last year than they were during the
trying war period. ~--@-
Relief to ties Polish children and
civilians was sent into that country
~ the Red Cross from France. Left

we're sent into the relief stations and
yiven on. to the Polish people. The
American Red Cross established a
number of orphanages for the care
of destitute children and thousands
of children were fed and clothed
through these stations" ~.
Perhaps nowhere in the world
has autocracy and royalty been hi
quite so hard as it has in Poland and
Austria. Autocracy is "brokes &C,
cording, to Miss Sewell, and; those
who in pre- war times composed the
first blood of the land, are row seat
tered over the country making liv-
ing as best they can. Miss SeweH

The question of continuing the

causing considerable concern among
the new. fair officers.
This matter has been discussed al
recent meetings of the fair board
and at Tuesday nights meeting, il
was decided to leave the matter open
until a general gathering of mem
bers of the association can be called
and the question Of night fairs left
entirely TO The vote of the sassotis-
ton. So
There are several plans being .ad-
vocated on the subject A suggestion
that the night fair be abolished, mas
been offered; another member of the
board maintains that one ss1ight of
fair would be sufficient, while 9TH
ersy feel that the crowds would be
better satisfied if the evening fairs
were conducted on the street fair
order in the city.
Concession and amuseG-.e.i:: repre-
sentatiyes who met with the big
Six here on Wednesday, advised that
the night fairs be cop'inued. They
held oat that night FAIRS We're an
to concession men and
recommended that all confessions be
confined to . the fair grounds.
One plan ow under considerat0a
by the board is to allow the concess
sion men to erect their stands il. the
city streets. =

PARIS DEFEATS CONVICTION
CYNTHIANA HIGH TOMORROW

The Paris High School football
eleven fought their way to a bril-
liant victory on McClintock Field
Friday afte=~ Goa when they admin
istered defeat to the COvington
High School team by the score of 10
to IA. The teams were evenly
matched and fought Clearly and
hard. The performance of Paris
High in holding Somerset to score
less tie and defeating Covington
High puts them in the front rank of
Kentucky High School teams.
Tomorrow, "wednesday, Paris
High will meet the Cynthiana High
team in game on McClintock Field
in what promises to be the bitterest
football fight ever staged in this
section of the Bluegrass. Cynthi-
ana has developed the best team
they have had in years, and, al
though Paris defeated her early in
the season, to-morrow's game ap-
pears to be anybody's. Cynthiana
played the University of Kentucky
freshmen team a scoreless tie and
any team which can do this has the
right to be in first ranks of High
School teams. Adams and Nash, of
Georgetown, will have charge of the
game, and will see that everything is
according to Hoyle."

High Rank Among High

TRIBUTE TO PARIS SCHOOL

AT a meeting of the Kentucky
College Association, held in Lexing-
ton, Saturday, the Paris High School
was placed in the A A class of Ken
lucky High Schools.
In October the Paris High School,
placed on the honor roll by the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Universities. This means that grad
yates of the Paris High School can
enter any college or university in
America without examination, except
the few colleges that do not accept
anyone without examination
Parents who have children in the
Paris High School are asked to see
that their children study at home at
child does not study that much at
| home every day you can know, before
the monthly report is received, that
| he or she is not doing satisfactory
| work in school. Never in the history
of American education has so much
been demanded of the High School,
and to meet these demands children
must study. Teachers can do little
for your child without good and reg
ular home study. In about two
months the mid-year examinations
| will be held in the Paris High School
and if your son or daughter is to go
on with his or her present class you
should look we'll to his or her home
study.
l am very anxious to have the
number of children making the hon
or roll gradfs increased. Do you
know that your child is getting to
school on time every morning? Are
you sending requests to the school
to have you rchild excused early in
the afternoons? I know that these
infringments on the school regula-
lions sometimes cannot be helped,
but | ask you to cooperate with us
to the fullest extent, that we may
serve your child best
Wednesday afternoon the Paris
City Schools will dismiss for the
Thanksgiving holidays, and will re-
sumo work on Monday, November 20.
/ am we'll pleased with the way the
parents visit the school this year.
II you have not visited the school
this year / shall be glad to have you
come before December 3d. When we
close for Christmas we want to be
able to say that every parent hav-
ing child in the Paris City School
has visited the school since the OPEN
ing in September. Come to the City
