The health meetings were held
Sunday afternoon at the Opera
House. at which moving pictures
were shown to a goodly number of
Augusta people and lectures were
delivered by DIR. George II. Coombs
of the State Department of Health.
These meetings opened the weeks
program of health education which
is being put on in this city through
q group of clubs and churches.
The meeting at 2:30 was open to
all and after fine talk by Dir.
Coombs. the motion picture. 1.-THE
End of the Road" was shown. This
picture showed the difference made
in the life of two girls. by the fact
that one mother was frank with her
daughter with regard to matters Of
life which she should know while
the other mother put her off with
vague answers or no answers at all.
The first was protected by her
knowledge and was never in danger
while the other nearly wrecked her
life and was only saved by the help
of the first.
In his opening talk DIR. Coombs
said that the boys from overs cas-
who have returned are telling their
sisters and brothers those truths
which their parents should have told
them. The American Red Cross is
trying to help the sufferers from So
cial diseases to recover their health
and to teach the youngsters so that
they may not become diseased. The
real problem is not so much that of
treatment as the preventions of con-
tagion.
To do this the children should he
told the truth when they ask about

are afraid to question them later,
with the result that they get the

and perhaps their life is wrecked.
The aim of the Red Cross and
other organizations is to bring these
things to the mind Of the people and
thus prevent the social diseases and
their results. Another thing that
they are trying to do is to educate
the people for better supervision OF
public affairs, such as dances, and
also to put a stop to the kind OF
auto parties which are now respon-
sible for so per cent of the dellr-
