 Mr. Lamb gave an interesting re port of the excellent work accom- plshcd during the past year It is in part as follows:
 The work of the Plainvlle Branch | of the American Red Cross for the past year has been very satisfactory, which includes the services of the visiting nurse, Miss Elizabeth Heme- man; the home service department and the general relief work. The | townspeople are beginning to appre- ciate the value of the branch and the work of the visiting nurse as well as other branches. The work of the visiting nurse is always increasing and it means that Miss Heineman must cover a considerable part of the town on foot to serve her patients and there must be some way, in the near future, of having means of con veyance as it would increase the Il service.
 The work of Miss Heineman ir connection with the school is of vita importance to the welfare Of the pupils and is valued highly by Prin- cipal Orrin l.. Judd, who has for warded letter of acknowledgment.
