Birth of the Red Cross

This month, November 18th to 10Th, the annual
roll call of the Red Cross will take place. and the
public will be again reminded Of the unring zeal and
effectiveness of this indispensable organization in
the service of stricken humanity. This Is again
brought forcibly to the minds Of our people by the
great work of this organization in the recent earth
quake disaster at Helena, Montana.
In contemplating the devotion of this now world
wide agency of mercy, 1t is not amiss to give
thought to that kindly soul who its founder,
Henri Dunant Franco-Swiss business man, born In
Geneva in 1928.
Witnessing the sufferings of the wounded after
the battle of Soferino, Italy in 1859 he organized
volunteer nursing service for their relief For three
years thereafter ecured and wrote of the horrors
he had witnessed, travelling about Europe, making
his plea for organization to meet such emergen-

time he had the great organization of which he

his great sympathetic heart was the inspiration.

RURAL YOUTH TO GUIDE
FUTURE FARM PLANNING

Farmers Of the United States, es-
pecially the rural young people,
will play an important part in de-
veloping the nations future agri-
cultural policies, according to a
bulletin entitled, Opportunities
Ahead for Rural Youth" recently
issued BY the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration.
Copies of this bulletin may be
obtained free by writing to the
AAA at Washington, D. c. The
bulletin reads in part:
IF agriculture is to overcome
permanently its present handicaps;
If it is to adjust production with
consumption; put it's acreage to
the best use; try to regain some of
its former foreign trade; retain
its domestic markets and hold it's
prices at fair level, 1t will require
real service from those who wish
for such progress. Undoubtedly
there are many opportunities ahead
for rural youth in the course of ag-

More Fun-Less Destruction

Halloween although not quiet event in the
city, passed without serious consequence having had
more less aspect Of saneness about the cele
brations of the younger set Some depredations
committed, but all being of minor nature, caused
suffering to one. The youngsters enjoyed a good
time, with lot of noise, and void of destructive spir

owners. OF course, the installation of modern
plumbing has to a great extent decreased destruc-
on and has made necessary for the youngsters to
direct their efforts along other lines Not one mall

proves that modern youth has found sane express
sion for the Halloween spirit, and has adopted
wholesome fun instead of the old riotous pushover
activities of days of yore.

To-day the 121st anniversary of the American national anthem is being celebrated in Baltimore.
 From all of the. 13 original states, troops have gathered in Baltimore for the celebration Among them are 30 members of Company c, Waterbury national guard unit. The local company has the distinction of membership in the Centennial Legion, com posed of military organizations in existence for 100 years.
 Known by various titles during its many years of existence, the old organization was formally ac- cepted by the state as Company G, Second Regiment in September 1871. c. R. Ramon was elected captain; w. s. Wilson, first lieu tenant; and D. A. Magraw, second lieutenant. Special troops from New Haven and Hartford, among them the famous Governors Foot Guard and the New Haven Grays also are in Baltimore to take part in the ceremonies. s-.
 The anthem was written by Francis Scott Key, a citizen of Baltimore during his imprison- ment in a British warship which he had boarded to negotiate for the release of an American pris- oner. Watching the lombard ment of his city, Key composed "The Star Spangle Banner"
