MOVED FROM CAMBRIDGE

A telegram received Tuesday from
p. NJ Olmsted brought a great deaI
of relief to his family here. They
were virtually ''up in the air." and
until a suitable location was found
did not know what to do here al
times. After trip to the coast states
Mr.. Olmsted finally decided there was
no place better than Idaho and pur.
chased the Idaho County Free Press

The family here began immediate
preparations for moving to that place
and will likely get away the first of
next week. Cambridge regrets ex.
ceedingly to see this family leave
and the change is in fact a distinct
loss, but we can rejoice that they 90
no farther, and thereby hangs hopes
that they will return frequently.
Mr.. Olmsted and his family are a
genuine asset to a community and
Grangeville is assured a live. ably
edited newspaper that will serve that
town and county well. They are a
family of printers of ability and the
Free Press will grow and prosper un-
der their management, is our pro-
phecy with full assurance of the full
fillment. Mr.. Olmsted is an organi-
zer of unusual ability, fluent writer
and the kind of citizen who is behind
every movement for the betterment of
his town and community.
Grangeville is to be congratulated
upon numbering the Olmsted family
among its business representation
and social life. The best wishes of
their friends here will attend them

RED CROSS IS URGING
BETTER HEALTH BATTLE
TireleSS in Services Advancing
Cause of Freedom from
Human Suffering.

Not alone in preparedness for emer
gencies, but in a tireless> offensiv,
battle for better health is the Ameri
can Red Cross nurse maintaining il
peace time the high tradition of bel
war service. AS in war, the same
self-effacing service for humanity
goes on its quiet. effective way con
tent IN its accomplishments, seeking
no public acclaim. Enrolled in the
Red Cross Nursing Service are 4O,63f
OF these missiOners Of health. nearly
1000 carrying the message Of a finer
public health to as many communi-
ties and 1,100 teaching large classes in
home hygiene and care Of the sick.
Exactly 100 Red Cross nurses are still
on duty overseas, helping the struggle
forward toward the high standard Of
American nurse efficiency in many
countries.
In the Government services 3.117 en-
rolled Red Cross nurses, are on duty
with the Army, Navy, Public Health
Service and the Veterans Bureau.
while the entire active enrolment is
maintained as a reserve for the Army
Nurse Corps and available to the
Navy in a national defense emergency.
Nine hundred nurses were added to
the roll the last year.
Red Cross nursing, however, has
perhaps its finest expression out in
the places laid waste by fire, food and
storm. and in the back reaches far
from the centers of population. In ev-
cry disaster the Red Cross nurse is
first called for, first to respond, and
the last to leave her post Of duty
among the suffering victims. In the
Isolated sections Of Alaska, North
Carolina. Virginia, Idaho, and among
the bleak islands Of Penobscott Bay, |
Me-. her ministrations are making |
hard lives easier and working for a |
brighter future for the children. Her
part in the human drama Of the time
IS increasingly important, although it
is subdued by the very nature Of her
work
The policy Of the American Red
Cross to establish under Chapter con-
troll public health nursing services in
communities lacking such facilities has
been justified and this pioneering work
is everywhere endorsed by authori-
ties who are quick to take it over as
a proper municipal function and duty
of taxpayers. The Home Hygiene and
Care Of the Sick program has further
penetrated into the schools as a def.
mite part of curriculums. During the ,
year $4,000 school pupils took this I
Red Cross course. Three telephone !
corporations adopted it and graduated I

Facing such distressing sacrifice of
life is the First Aid Service of the

education and demonstration to instilI
a consciousness Of safety in the public
mind and teaching approved methods
which assure that competent hands
will care for injured persons until the
arrival of doctors. Trained service in
the first few minutes is vital In
