COUNTY PET|ONED
TO GIVE RED CROSS
ITS CHARITY WORK
Committee of League Of
Women Voters Social We'll
fare Department Goes
Before Board Revenue

Characterizlng the relief problem
in the county as acute and referring
to the fact that there is no agency
doing relief work for county cases,
a committee from the social welfare
committees of the League of Women
Voters composed of Mrs. Amelia w.
Fisk and Mrs. Eugepia b. Dabney APP
peared before the board of revenue
yesterday and asked the board to
turn over the county charity work to
the local chapter of the American Red
: Cross. The committee also asked
that the board make an appropriation
for the employment of a white ma
iron at the Ketona farm of the eoun
ty to supervise delinquent girls and
women confined there.
A copy of the report of the investl-
eating committee of the League of
Women Voters Endorsed at mass
meeting of citizens and social work
ers at the city hall Monday night was
presented to each member of the
board
The petition presented by the COM
mittee with reference to the handling
of county relief work by the Red
Cross recited: THAT since the city
relief department can only minister
to city cases and since. the relief prob
lem in the county is acute and there
is no agency doing relief work for
county cases and no apparent likeii-
hood of the establishment of such an
agency, that the Red Cross be re-
quested to undertake the outdoor re-
lief work for the county which
should include cooperation with the
juvenile court and jail in assisting
and following up cases of delinquent
girls and women. That the board of
revenue make this formal request of
the jefferson county chapter of the
American Red Cross.
Mrs. Fisk spoke at length in refer
ence to the matter and also in sup
port OF the request that the board
employ a white matron for the Ke-
tona farm for delinquent women and
girls She pointed out that under the
present conditions there women. and
girls convicted and sent there do not
have proper supervision and stated
that an appropriation of approximate
" s125 a month would be sufficient
to cover the salary of such a matron.
The board promised to take the re-
quests under advisement and render
decision In regard to them later.

6culties under which they were work
ing and were not present for the pur-
nose of criticizing that they had been
nromised a road out of the original
bond issue, $2.000,0oo of which had
already been spent without theif hav-
ing received the promised aid. He de-
o1ared that with the road in itslpres-
ont condition the people living on 1t

LOST AVIATOR SHOWS
UP ASIRIDE A HORSE
Forced Down by Engine
Trouble in Deep Canyon
in Mexico.

FL Paso, Tex.-Lieutenant AleXand-
! err Pearson. Jr upon his arrival at
Fort Bliss Thursday from Sanderson'
told the story of his forced landing
and his experiences in getting back to
civilization Lieutenant Pearson flew
to Fort Bliss from Sanderson with
Lieutenant Ed Jones. one of the aVi-
ators who had gone to Sanderson to
search for him.
"On account of engine trouble l did
not follow the air line to San Antonio,
but kept as close to the fields as pos
sible." said Pearson. Il was flying at
about 5000 feet when my engine stop
ped. and ! was directly over the river
Il landed in a deep canyon, and l
don't know how | was able to do it
without utterly wrecking the plane.
The wings were not disabled and the
plane could be flown, | believe, after
clearance had been made in front OF
it if it was possible to get a new en-
CINE to it.
"At the time l landed | thought
was on the American side, somewhere
north of the river. and started i'm
mediately to walk south, thinking to
reach the Rio Grande and make my
way to some place OF habitation. But
as at that spot the river runs north
and south, paralleled it for two days
and must have walked about thirty
miles
AT the end of the second day |
came to the river and saw that | had
been getting as far away from the
place | wanted to go as it was possible
to get on foot, so I rugged up raft
and started back the way | had come.
1t took me one day on the raft to COW
er the distance | had come on foot in
two
Late in the afternoon of that day
l saw two beaver trappers, who helped
bring me into Sanderson. They found
me at almost the same spot on the
river where l had been forced to come
down. | rode in on their horse as far
as they went, tried to come part of the
way in an automobile, but could not
get it started, and finally made my
entry on burro.
Il got pretty hungry during the lat
ter part of my day on the raft, and
the nights in the Big Bend country are
just a bit chilly.
"The worst thing is that | lose my
chance to try for the transcontinental
record flight. l believe that if | had
my engine in good shape l could have
made the flight in less than "a hours,
as l expected to do. There isn't a
chance in the world to get the plane
out of Mexico and continue the
flight"
