Shall She Telephone Hlm7

Dear Cynthia---I have been helped
many times by others letters. but here
is something | cannot solve, SO | have
come to you. like many others, for
aid.
About three months ago I met a
Young man who is twenty-five years old.
The fire. night met him l did not like
a girl friend of mine called him up
and | talked TO him. He seemed very
nice over the telephone. so we asked
him cut to n block party at our school.
He came and we had an enjoyable
time He came also to the block party
the next evening and we went out with
one OF his boy friends In his machine.
We were out about an hour and he
asked m" several times for n kiss. |
did not allow him until was getting
out. then | gave him one Now, Gym
tha. here Is what I want TO know.
Did do wrong in kissing him? Should
| apologize" Also. Is It wrong for me
to call him UP and kid him. as he Is
a wonderful kidder? He cannot call
me. as he thinks l have no phone and
that I call up from my girl friends
house.
Please. Cynthia. answer this as soon
you can. as | want to call him up
about a party and would like to apollo
gize for kissing II ! should.

You should not have kissed the young
man, but 1t is not your place to apollo.
gIze about it. Simply do not dc it

man to party, it's quite all right
to telephone to him. but it's rather a
waste of his time and yours 10 call

and the work was most successfully
carried on by her until her resigna
ton Jan LIST, 1922. At this time we
were fortunate in securing the ser.
vices of Mrs Lucy X Davis, a gradu.
ate of the Woodsville Hospital, who
stayed until illness compelled her tc
leave Feb 18th. Mrs Taylor anG
Mrs Davis were efficient nurses, in.

| faction.
AS the report shows, the character
of the work this year has been the
same as last year-bedside nursing,
prenatal and maternity visits, child
welfare, sanitary inspection and
school work. The last includes class
room inspection, weighing of pri-
mary pupils, health talks to all
grades, and follow-up work for cor
rection of defects discovered by the
medical inspector.
This year health crusade clubs, I'M
der the leadership of the teachers,
have been formed in the rural
schools, the primary school and the
lower grades in the high school
building.
The baby weighing has been con-
tinued, and the purchase of new
scales with platform makes possible
the weighing of children up to
school age, as we'll as the babies.
This is an important advance, as any
variation in weight or other defect,
may now be discovered and correct
ed before the child enters school.
An outstanding feature of this
years work was the clinic held in
July, at which seventeen children
were successfully operated upon for
adenoids and enlarged tonsils. Our
nurse also assisted the Newbury nurse
at a clinic held at Woodsville, at
which the children from Newbury
were treated.
Considerable dental work, also, has
been done. 1t is now expected that
a permanent nurse will soon be
here. Until she comes, Miss Bernice
a graduate of the Hol-
yoke City Hospital, is acting as sub
stitute.
In submitting this report, the com
mittee recognizes the imperfections
of the service, yet believes that it is
a real service, doing
much good, and that by continue
tion of effort it may be brought to
the desired standard.

ASK FOR CONFERENCE
II. F. Chichester Returns From Rich
mOnd and Makes Report of Visit To
Local Strikers at Meeting Held To-
day at. Hall of Strikers.

No response has yet been received
by the local strikers in the effort
being made TO have a conference be-
tween the striking shopmen of the
Richmond Fredericksburg, and Po-
tomac Railroad and the road officials
according to II. F. Chichester. chair
man of the local shopcraft men, when

While in Richmond Mr.. Chichester
held conference with II. A White,

and secretary Of the Richmond city
federation Of ship crafts, regarding
steps for a conference, with the
president of the road.
According to reports from Rich
mond, the efforts for conference
have failed and the indications are
that none will be held. This state
ment is credited to one of the Rich
mond officials Of the Richmond. Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Company, who is quoted as saying
that if any OF the old men are taken
back Il will simply be for the purpose
of filling a few existing vacancies in
the Richmond shops and that they
will come in as new employees.

ericksburg and Potomac Federation
for Shop Crafts has asked for a con-
ference with the officials of that
company, through Mr. White, and
that II. j. Warthen. superintendent
of motive power of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac, replied
to the request. This reply is in the
hands of the federation officials. 1t
is said 10 contain a statement Of the
conditions that now exist at all of
the company's shops. but the details
of the letter would not be made
known.
The Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac began advertising for me-
chqnics a few days after the walkout
on July !, and has been building up
its shop force as rapidly as possible
1t was announced at the time the
company began filling the vacancle,
of the strikers hat the new men
and the men who remained loyal to
the road would be protected even if
the strike should be settled II is
said that practically normal compile
ment Of shopmen is at work in all
Of the plants of the company, and
Eppa Hunton, Jr., president of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac, said yesterday that there had
been no change in this policy. APP
proximatelv 500 men were affected
by the walkOut. rs the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac, next to
the Chesapeake and Ohio, employed
more mechanics and helpers than any
road having yards in Richmond.

PRISON SYSTEM
is ATTACKED
Relief Society Has Filed
Charges of Gross Mis-
management
State Prison Form Conditions are
Vastly Improved Despite Charge TO
Contrary-GOyernor May Institute
Investigation.

Richmond, Va, Sept. 25.--Follow-
| ing two years Of reform IN our
penal system, which has elected the
, criticism in some quarters that prls'
oners were being "pampered", the eX-
convict head of the so-called Prison
ers' Relief Society, with headquar-
ters at Washington, has filed charges
with the Governor against the State
prison authorities, alleging mlsmana-
cement of the State Prison Farm at
Lassiter, in Goochland county, where
between 200 and 225 male inmates
are employed.
The charges were mailed to Cover
nor Trinkle under date of August
10Th, and allege impure food, that
sick prisoners are being under fed,
that too many guards are employed,
and that intoxicating liquors are used
by officials.
The matter was referred to the
Board of Directors of the Penlten-
tiary by Governor Trinkle on Septem-
Der 9Th, with the request for re-
port. At the first meeting OF the
Board, September llth, a special COM
mittee on investigation was named to
insert a probe.
Professor William d. Saunders, of
the Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
was chosen to represent the Board OF
Directors on the committee, while Mr..
Frank Bane, Commissioner of Public
Welfare, was invited to serve on the
body and to act as its chairman, with
power to appoint third member Mr..
Bane is in no way associated with
the prison management and IS the le-
gally constituted Investigating of
ficer of the State, Professor Saund-
! ers is not in political life and enjoys
q high reputation.
Governor Trinkle on September
! 18th requested the Prisoners Relief
Society to submit TO him in writing
its charges, and to furnish him with
names of witnesses who would be call
ed upon to Substantiate those charges
| Should this evidence justify 1t, the
Governor has said he will name a spe-
cial committee of five disinterested
citizens to sit in an investigation.
During the past two years hOspi-
! tai and medical facilities at the Peni-
tentiary and State Farm have been
completely reorranized. This was
done with the advice and assistance
of the State Board of Health and of
a special committee cf physicians
from both the Medical College of Nir-
ginia and the Medical Society of Nir-
ginia. A basic balanced diet for pris-
oners has been worked out by the
Medical College of Virginia. Schools
are being established and recreation
introduced. At the State Farm is one
of the best motion picture equipments
in the State. The Board has authoriz-
ed the installation this fall of a pow
erful radio outfit for the pleasure Of
the prisoners.
Improvement in the housing and
care of inmates has been so notice
able at the State Farm as to have be-
come a matter of general public COM
ment. Virginia's prison management
has been wide open to public inspec-
tion for the alst Seyeray years. Pro-
duction of proof substantiating the
serious charges preferred is now be-
ing awaited by the Governor and by
| the Prison Board.
