Red Cross Doing
Much Valuable
Work In Lubbock
(By L. 7. MARTINI


The Lubbock Chapter Of the Red
Cross Of which Miss Ellis is secre-
tary has many peculiar things with
which 10 contend, and il is real
pleasure 20 her, after sitting down
the evidence in a case, TO know that
she is doing real good for humanity.
What would have happened TO a
young woman about twenty-five
years of age had il not been that
Lubbock had a Red Cross office for
Mr % come to? Her story told to
Miss Ellis revealed the fact that her
husband had deserted her, her ia
ther was in the penitentiary, and
her mother on poor farm She
had a married sister who could SUD
port her no longer because Of the
lack OF funds. While she was in
the Red Cross office, the secretary
trying to find work for her. she be-
came very IN. The doctor was sum-
moned who said she was unable to
work, and should go home and go
TO bed,-where2 The Red Cross
secretary made arrangements for
her al a nearby roOming house, saw
that she had proper diet, and made
arrangements for her 70 return 10
place where she had formerly
worked and where she would be
cared for until stronger.
What a satisfaction il should be
for the people Of Lubbock to know
that they we're responsible for the
taking Of even one girl out Of a
world Of sorrow, and caring for her
as the Red Cross has done for this
unfortunate girl.
This is just one Of the many
cases that come 70 the Lubbock
Red Cross office. The Amerp an
Red Cross workers were the first
people TO have nurses and doctors
on the field with food and clothing
for the relief Of tie flooded districts
OF not only Fort Worth and Dallas,
but also slong the Mississippi where
the river had broken through the
levees.
When we stop 20 think Of the
great good this organization is do
ing, we should all want to contri-
bute-no r0atter how little--but at
east have our names on the honor
roll as lelping the unfortunate.

 x Experience
ACCEPTS CLINT. AS CUB
First Duty of Edition of the News paper is Strict Adherence
 to Truthfulness

Editor The News:
 It was with some surprise, mingled with delight, that I observed, on picking up your last weeks issue, that I had been interviewed" by your 'Cub, Reporter, whom assume to be the accomplished young gentle man who so effectively and so com pletely filled the editorial chair during your own well-deserved and, 1 trust, rejuvenating vacation. Inci- dentally, may 1 remark that you were exceptionally fortunate in securing his services as substitute. It is one thing to find a substitute who will rattle around in the editors chair, and quite another thing to find one who can fill it.
 Your substitute excelled particu- larly in the role of interviewer. 1 have done some interviewing, my self, at one time and another, but I am free to admit that 1 never did a job of interviewing that gave rte as much satisfaction as 1 derived from the joyful experience of reading that interview with myself. It has cheered me and puffed mo up not a little with the conviction that I know more than thought I GId; and in grateful appreciation 1 beg 10 sub init herewith an interview with my interviewer, on the recognized prin- cipal that one good turn deserves another. If you will put it in the I2per I am sure it will Increase your circulation, for if Clint has anything like my sense of appreciation he will buy a busdle of papers to send away.

 I found the sub-editor in his luxu- riously appointed law office this (Monday) morning, industriously chewing gum, fondling a well-worn copy of the last issue of The News printed under his suffragan admins tration, voraciously devouring it's contents and making violent contor- tions> in his strenuous efforts to l twist his brawny right arm around where he could pat himself on the back between the shoulder blades some job! 1 spake unto him thus:
 From your experience as a jour nalist, Clint, what do you conceive to be the chief duty of the editor in his relations with the community
 The sub editor removed his cud of gum, stuck it up against the back of his typewriter (machine) and un- hesitatingly replied:

VACCINATION OF
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
All Children Not Vaccinated for Small Pox, Should Be
 At Once

At the last meeting of the School Committee, it was voted to approve the action of the Litchfield County Public Health Association in, the recommendation which was adopted by that body at their meeting held May 25th, as follows;
 : Resolved: That the Litchfeld County Public Health Association recommend and urge local health officers to take such action as will bring about the vaccination of all children attending public and private schools, that the children may be immune to smallpox"
 The School Committee would call attention to the order which was issued by them few years ago, and which has not been rescinded.
 This provided that all pupils at tending the schools of North Canaan will be required to be successfully vaccinated. A good scar being sufi- cient evidence of Successful vaccina- tiop Free vaccination will be pro- vided for those on whom it would impose a financial hardship to com ply with this order.
 Application for free vaccination can be made to the school physician, pr. F. H. Lee.
 The prevalence of 90 many cases of smallpox in this section of the state, but a few months ago, would seem to make it advisable before school opens that all who have not been successfully vaccinated, should have the matter attended to at once, as schools will open now in less than three weeks.

BARRETT LOST LUCK
 WITH DEMONSTRATORS
With
Made Cottagers Envious With Numerous Catches of
 Big Fish

The story is going the rounds among cottagers at Twin Lakes or the numerous large fish caught by MT. Barrett, who when at home IS connected with the Telephone busi- ness in New York. MT. Barrett has been unusually successful in landing large and smallmouth bass, while other fishermen, including that vet eran of many piscatorial engage ments, Rev. Franklin D. Elmer, of Colgate College, have been unable to land any realyworthwile.
 Close watch was kept on MT. Bar rett to learn his methods, which were found to be but little different from others. He would push off with his boat and swing around the cove. When he approached cottage where several apparently envious fishermen were watching him, he never failed to. land a good size bass. Then the envy increased.
 So great was the feeling among the unsuccessful fishermen that a thorough investigation was decided upon. One piscatorial artist, appar- ently related to Sherlock Holmes, is said to have discovered large mouth bass tied to the boat, which he cut loose. Since the loss of his demon strator" Barrett's luck has been no better than the others and the cot agers are jubilant over their discov- cry, while the "noted" fisherman wanders about aimlessly in deep chagrin.

1000 MILES ON FOOT
 THROUGH DARK LIBERIA
Rev. Francis B. Barnett Gives , Interesting Lecture
 on Little Republic
FIRST WHITE MAN THERE
Only Two Doctors in Entire Republic Forced to Operate on His
 Own Foot

Rev. Francis B. Barnett, summer resident of Twin Lakes and son of a former rector of Christ Church, gave a very interesting lecture at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening for the benefit of Canaan Fire Co. MT. Barnett returned to this coun- try in May from several months tour of exploration in the little re- public of Liberia, of the interior of which but little is known. -,
 The trip to Liberia was primarily for the purpose of ascertaining the possibilities of extending missionary work there. As a matter of local interest, Liberia was purchased by the American Colonization Society in 1921 and was originally used as refuge for slaves who had been freed. They were unable to become acclimated, however, and many died or left the country. White men have been able to withstand the hardships which the climate Imposes much better than. the imported blacks.
 MT. Barnett stated that he left New York for England and from there direct to Africa, landed at

$113. GIVEN TO TRIBUNE
 FRESH AIR FUND
Self-Explanatory Letter Aeknowl- edges Local Persons s-
 Generosity

The following self-explanatory letter from the New York Tribune, acknowledges receipt of SOS to be used for. the purpose of giving city children a vacation in the country: Committee of F. A. fund of Canaan:
 am sorry to have been delayed in acknowledging receipt of your letter enclosing the contribution of $10S.00 of the Canaan Fresh Air committee. The delay indicates that we have been very busy getting children off to the country and back again from the country, not that we are ungrateful for your very kind and generous cooperation. We are indeed appreciative of your very kind cooperation in our good work. While we should have liked to send you some Fresh Air children to be placed amidst the good influences of Canaan homes, we realize that cir eumstances sometimes make that sort of work difficult. Your contri- button will make it possible for US to give fifteen or sixteen children vacations elsewhere in the name of the Canaan committee.
 You will be glad to know that our season to date has been a highly sue cessful one. While we have been too busy to get together any definite figures as yet, l think there is no question that we have by this time given vacations to, 12,000 or more children. Our cooperating commit tees 'in the country. .have found peo- pie very generous in providing hos pitality for the children this summer and our contributing friends have been equally generous in providing funds with which to carry on the work. Contributions for the season to date total over $80,000.00.
 May I ask that you convey an cx- pression of thanks to all those who helped make up the contribution, as far as it may be possible for you to do so.
 Yours very truly, Leslie M. Conly
 Since this was received $500 more has been contributed making a total of $113.00.
