Cambridge, Mass, Washington took
command of the Continental Armies,
will afford much satisfaction to pat
riotic Americans who have rever-
enced this natural shrine and grieved
when the old tree died natural
death and fell.
But the news that shoot OF the
old wood, taken when the tree was
strong and healthy, is now growing
and thriving, will strike an even
more responsive chord in the hearts
of those who see in this continuation
of treelife the source OF whlch mas
died, a symbol of the continuation
of the doctrines and the American
Influence of Washington, though the
great general is long gone to ms

Pearl River County IS fortunate
!, securing Mrs. Eva Ward Duke

no be possible to find more com
uetent nurse or one that IS better
trained and equipted. Mrs. Duke
received her training in Clorado,
later. taking special courses in pub
lie health work in New York and
Chicago. She has had two years
experience as a special trained nurse
in Memphis, Tenn. For the passed
two wears Mrs. Duke has been public
health nurse for Tallahatchie Coun-
tv where she completely organized
the work of the public health nurse.
The work of the public health
nurse is a new venture in Pearl
River county, this county has never
the services of one before. The
field here offers Mrs. Duke an oppor-
tnnity to organize the work, she
having completely organized the
work in Tallahatchie County felt
it her duty to turn it over to some
one else and seek fields where she
could do more good with her services
toward improving the public's health.
The activities of Mrs. Duke, as
Public Health Nurse in Pear River
County, will be mostly of an educa-
tional value; no bedside nursing will
be done other than 70 rdemonstra-
tional purposes. The time of the
nurse will be equally divided be-
tween general Public Health Work,
and Maternity and Infant Hygiene
Work.
In Public Health Work, she will
assist the County Health Officer in
school examinations, vaccinations,
etc. She will weigh and measure
children in school, select all children
ten percent or more nuderweight
and organize them in growth devel-
opment classes. Efforts will be to
cooperate with doctors and parent
to have needed corrections made
she will be interested in milk drink
ing and dental campaigns, and Civ
ing class instruction in personal hy-
giene, group meetings with mothers

community organizations in the Con-
solidated School Districts.
Fifty percent of her time will be
devoted to Maternity and Infant by
giene. She will carry out routine
program, such as better baby con-
ferences, mother group meetings, IN
structions and demonstrations in the
care and feeding of infants, and pre-
school children. She will visit each
wife in the county in her home
noting sanitary conditions OF the
home, personal cleanliness OF the
midwife and inspect equipment, CIV

necessary for them to carry on then

every faith, Sunday will observe
Red Cross Sunday, marking the be-
ginning of the Annual Red Cross
/ Call for the enrolment OF members

twill be held and sermons relative
TO the work Of the American Red

closes, Thanksgiving Day, Novem-
Der 29.
Following is the announcement OF
the Roll Call by John Barton Payne,
Chairman of the American Red
Cross:
Sunday Nov. l1th, is Armistice
Day. 1t is fitting that the people
of the United States, in their home,
in the churches, wherever they may
foregather, recall that day FIVE years
ago which marked the end of the
greatest conflict the world has ever
known.
1T is equally fitting that the
American Aople should use this day
to rededicate themselves to service
in that great Legion of Mercy which
did so huch to alleviate the suffer-
ing of thu war the American National

greater tribute to the men who vert
to the rescue of our liberty when
that liberty was in peril than to
ally ourselves with the organization
which stood shoulder to shoulder
with them throughout the long strug-
gle
sThe Red Cross was the one army
which did not lay down its arms
upon the signing of the Armstlce.
On the contrary. much of its work
just begun This mighty humani-
tartan army must never cease It's
labors: with your continued help it
will not.
There are thousands of men who
wore. this countrE's uniform during
the war who, with their families,
need comfort and help today even
more than they did while the war
was in progress. They will continue
in need of this help for many years
to come. The Red Cross has not
forgotten them. and will not. 1t IS
the only medium through which most
of us can express our loyalty to and
sympathy for the men who are suf-
fering today because they fought
for US five years ago.
'.The American Red Gross invites
all to share in its inspiring respon-
sibilities. 1t needs strength to num-
bers. In order to be truly American
it must have your membership,-your
ever loyal support. Its record OF the
past is secure; its record 'o
future will. feel sure, be the better
when we all stand with 1t to be
counted as one great army. enlisted

[ Looal Red Cross Enters
Child Welfare Work

The Executive Committee OF the
Pearl River Co. Chapter OF the
Red Cress net at the Court House
Tuesday afternoon, and AT what was
probably the most important and
most interesting meeting since the
days OF active war work. decided
TO undertake a new line OF Commu-
nifty service, that Of Child Welfare.
Mrs. Butler. Field Director. OF the
Red Cross, was present and presided
ct this meeting. and under her dl-
rection and that Of the County
Health Nurse, every detail was
planned. The aid the Red Cross
extends will be confined to the
specific work OF Child Welfare, and
the particular scope OF this work Will
consist of having corrections made.
IN the case of children. who.
who, otherwise, could never have this
done. and would go through life
handicapped for lack of them.
The Red Cross will extend this
aid by a series of free clinics, held
monthly. or possibly oftener, and
managed as follows: The Chapter
will equip with all necessary linen
ward at the Pearl River County
Hospital, to be used on clinic days;
through the County Health Nurse
the different physicians OF the eoun-
Il have most generously offered to
make these corrections. The Red
Cross will pay for the use of oper-
ating room, anesthetcs, guazes, and
all necessary expenses incurred until
patients can leave Hospital: and on
clinic days volunteers from the Red
Cross will serve as aids to the
County Health Nurse in taking care
OF the children.
Every arrangement is being per-
otherwise, could never have this
County Health Nurse hopes to be
ready for the first one the latter
part of November. DR.. Moody has
kindly placed his Hospital and all
facilities at the disposal of the Red
Cross. for these free clinics and
has shown much interest and q
splendid feeling OF cooperation IN
working out the details.
1t seems particularly appropriate
ahal the Chapter undertakes this.
iust now. for this month. from the
eleventh TO the twenty ninth, Is
our Annual Roll Call. and the Chap
ter feels sure that the people Of the
County realize what they are doing,
they will respond most generously.
The Red Cross has never appealed
in vain to the people of the commu-
nity. and we feel confident that the
many who gave SO freely in the
dark davs of the war will not fail
10 respond TO the need Of these
little ones.
In the Annual Roll Call. just be-
ginning, every half Of every dollar
given for membership remains in
the local treasury. and will be useo
IN this Child Welfare work, and amy
gift or contribution over one dollar
remains in the County. Upon the
response to the Roll Call depends,
il, large measure. the success OF this
work. We want 10 make II per
nenent, and to enlarge its Scop>
year by year.
The Red Cross has stood as
symbol of help for the helpless. and
has always been especially interested
in every aid for suffering childhood
We want every man and woman IN
Pearl River County TO respond to
this Roll Call. and help us carry
on this work. Will YOU help?

Weekly Letter From The
Department of Education
w. F. Bond, Supt.

1t is estimated that the money we
annually spend on schools in Missls-
sippi would 60 a million dollars fur
thur if every child in the State
would attend school every day it is
possible for it to 60. Irregular at
tendance on the part of the pupil
enrolled and non-attendance OF many
boys and girls in every district
should be looked after vigorously by
teachers, trustees, patrons and coan-
ty superintendents.
1t is said "that every day a child
spends in school will sometime haV
money value of approximately ten
dollars. Not only the child, OUT
the school as a whole is hindered IN
its work by irregular attendance.
The compulsory school law requires
every child from its seventh birthday
to it's fifteenth birthday to De Ia
school continually for four monshs
In each year, at time designateo

CITIZENSHIP LAWS
CHANGES PROPOSED
Naturalization Commissioner Rec

Simplifed.

Extensive changes In the naturali-
cation laws of the United States are
recommended by Raymond Il. Crist,
commissioner OF naturalization, in his
annual report to the Secretary OF La
Dor, made public today. The changes
call for a. clearer definition of tho
special naturalization privilege
granted to all honorably discharged
soldiers and sailors serving during
the world war to conform to peace
time conditions; uniform seamen's
discharge certificate for elimination
of fraudulent naturalizations; the use
of depositions to prove residence
within the same state in which petit
tion las been filed instead of requir-
ing physical presence OF two wit
nesses to prove state residence, and
many others.
Commissioner Crist supplemented
his recommendations for this rene
dial legislation by a recital of clearly
denned benefits to the candidates for
citizenship.
During the past year 145,0S4 were
admitted to citizenship, of whom the
greatest proportion came from Italy
