FIRE AT TOMS BROOK

The garage of the Rockdale Lime
Company at Toms Brook was destroy
ed by fire Tuesday morning between
twelve and one O'Clock along with two
large trucks belonging to the Company
and two automobiles belonging to Ben
jamin Kronk and Benjamin Haun. Be
cause of the high wind at the time the
fire was discovered, and the close
proximity of the garage to other prop
erty in the heart of the town it was at
first thought that the entire town was
in dangerof being wiped out by the
conflagratIon. Woodstock was called
on the phone and fully fifty men re-
sponded promptly upon arrival they
found the fire almost under control
but worked successfully with the
bucket brigade of Toms Brook to keep
the fire from spreading. Chemical fire
eXtinguishers of the Company along
with number carried down by Wood
stock Firemen did splendid work and
proved the great value of Chemical
Fire Company. The Woodstock engine
was being made ready to take to the
fire by another group of firemen
when the news came that the fire
was under control. Had it not been
for the fact that DIR, Gearing's phone
had been left connected with
Toms Brook all night on account of
serious illness at that place, no other
towns could have been called to assist.
Why not have all night service? Every
one should be ready to pay for it,
think of the protection, in case of fire
and in time of sudden illness.

BARN BURNS AT BOWMAN'S

The large barn belonging to Kirby j
Bowman, at Bowman's Crossing, wei
entirely destroyed by fire Monda,
| afternoon between and o'clock
All livestock was saved, but the barn
containing 500 bushels of wheat, hay
farming implements, a silo and con-
tents and an adjoining chicken house
were burned.
The barn is located about 300 yards
from the Southern railroad station. II
is thought the fire originated from the
threshing machine. They had just
finished threshing when the fire
started, but the threshing machine was
saved.
The barn was a large modern one
and the loss is estimated at about
$4,000, partially covered by insurance
in the Shenandoah County Home
Mutual Fire Insurance Company. The
alarm spread rapidly and within an
incredibly short time large number
of neighbors arrived in autos to assist
in saving surrounding property.
The residence of A. E. Rosenberger,
merchant at Bowman's is directly
across the road from the burned barn,
and was saved. Had the wind been in
an opposite direction, it too would
probably have been burned on account
of the scarcity of water.

SKETCHES FROM THE NOTEBOOK or
A RED CROSS DISTRIC NURSE
ARE FEET WORTH SAVING :

| ARE FEET WORTH SAVlNu
One cold day in winter the faithful
Iflivver of the District Nurse bore hei
upon an adventurous journey into one
OF the bleak mountain districts. and al
one of the mountain homes. remote
from town comforts and advantages,
she found young mother mourning
over the fate of baby boy OF fifteen
months who was afflicted with one OF
| the worst cases of "club FOOT that the
nurse had ever seen. The young
mother assured the nurse lugubriously
| that nothing could be done for the
baby, for ''the neighbors, had all said
so"-but the nurse ventured to differ
with those wise and melancholy au-
thorities. She begged the mother to
present the case before an experienced
orthopaedist, but mountain mothers
TO say nothing of certain mothers IN
other places-are peculiarly skeptical
of the expert judgment of qualified
authority, and prefer to listen to the
dismal maunderings of neighborhood
prophets. 1t is part of the duty OF a
District Nurse, however, to be patient
and persevering, and after some i've
or six visits to that remote mountain
home, the mother was induced to allow
the nurse to drive her and the baby TO
the University Hospital.
The next step in the case was to IN
duce the young mother to leave the
precious little cripple at the hospital,
and even that was accomplished. The
baby was given surgical treatment ana
tender care at the hospital for seven
months, without expense to the mother,
and when the nurse took the mother
back to the institution to visit the child,
the child chung to its nurse and gave
the parent cold reception. The once
crippled feet are still in braces, but they
are now as strait as the best OF feet in
all those mountains where the little
one is destined to grow up as ausefui
member of the sturdy race.
The mother is deserving OF credit
for making what was to hera distinct
sacrifice and a reluctant concession to
the mysterious powers of which she
was additionally suspicious. But With
out the power and influence ofthe Red
Cross. and without the perseverance
of its trained representative, the baby
would have grown up a cripple and
burden to its parents.
To those who grudgingly yield up
dollar, or to those who magnificently
sign check for thousand dollars, IN
to the patient appeals OF the
Red Cross, the great organization and
its far-reaching efforts may be little
more than passing abstract thought
The Red Cross was mighty and
beneficent power in the World War,
and the man in the street knows that
it still exists and still has work to
do; but how many of the men IN the
street know that Ford cars are toillng
daily over deep-rutted mountain roads,
driven by earnest seekers after help
less sufferers who may be aided or
saved by the application of scientific
methods of care, or the judicious eX-
penditure of the funds Of the great
society?

The Step Beyond federal Aid

Il is generally recognized that
that existing roads fall into four
classes: Interstate roads. state
roads (importan. to the whole
state), county roads Important
to the whole county,, and local
roads, serving only small part
of a county.
The United States Government
recognizes the Importance of the
Interstate road by providing in
the Federal Md act, that in.
terstate roads OF a mileage not
| to exceed seven per cent of the
total system, may receive Federal

The diphtheria and scarlet fever cases

been in school this week, Therefore,
by closing the FIRST THREE grades

ion period of days will have elapsed,
as far as the old diphtheria and scarlet
fever cases in the school are concerned.
This procedure was recommended by
the local Board of Health, and it is con-
