ambitious program and deprived the
Valley Of the service Of the Southern

Of California. was the greatest sim
gle factor in bringing about the won

a sin, in these later days became a

due to the strenuous life we lead in

the hurry Of modern city life puts q
strain upon the heart which that

DIR. Van Norman called attention
to the change in the function and

two decades.

To-day the hospitals are scientific

The community is benefited by
the Boy Scouts because they make

about first aid to the injured and so
help some person who is hurt. They
help the community by cleaning up
