Smyrna Public Library

Action by the forward-look-
ing directors of the Smyrna
Library Association in provid-
ing a more general use of the
many books they now house
is to be highly commended.
In making it a free public
library, which in America
ranks with the free public
school as an educational force,
Smyrna at last is on its way
to the possession of first rate
library facilities for all it's cit
liens. Ever since its incep-
tion in 1858 the Smyrna Lii
brary has maintained a repu-
tation for wise management,
a reputation upheld by pres

American Courts

In America a man is held
to be innocent until by judg-
ment Of his peers in a regu-
larly constituted court he is
proven to be guilty. In die
tator countries a man is held
to be guilty and is punished if
the merest shred of suspicion
OF guilt falls upon him. Which
method of controlling fifth
column activities would you
prefer, if you were singled out
by circumstances to be the
victim of gossip or of unjust
suspicion? Naturally, you pre-
fer the American way. Then
see to it that you do not re-
peat or in any way become a
party to damaging rumors
and gossip concerning other
persons who are deprived of
their day in court, deprived of
an open accusation by a re-
sponsible citizen possessed of
evidence which he is willing
to submit under oath. Crack

imaginary crimes, are un-Am-

That title for this column, we
feel, was well chosen. If you read
the first one, you may Cor may
not) remember that we stated a
number of very good intentions.
The column was intended for
farmers and farmers wives. We
planned to interview one person a
week who had an interesting hob
by and various other noble state
ments of plans were made.
We have egg on our face. For
this column has not either stuck
to agriculture nor has its author
brought you regular interviews
with hobby-horse riders. One
reason for this is the alarming
situation abroad. Here in Smyrna
where life is quiet and peaceful,
we seem far removed from the
horror that stalks over Europe. 1t
is difficult to imagine the sudden
appearance of death-dealing bomb
ers or the murderous thrust of the
mechanical shock troops of for
eign invader over our homes. Yet
many of us have pictured such a
possibility and though we are far
from the clutches of that hideous
war machine which crushes every
thing in Europe that we in Amer
lea live by, the holocaust has had
its effect upon Smyrna. Maybe
you, too, have noticed it. noticed
that there is closer drawing-to-
gether of the community. The
success of the Red Cross Drive, al
though a direct appeal to the best
that is in us and an extremely
worthy cause, Is a weathervane
which indicates something of a
trend which today is knitting our
community into a solid force for
improvement and good.
Is's noticeable in most of the or
ganizations in Smyrna. Proposals
that were gathering dust before,
have been re-aired and received
with enthusiasm. New ideas are
bursting forth on all sides. Civic
projects of all kinds are meeting
with unusual success. People, too,
are more friendly towards each
other, more tolerant. Old quarrels
have been forgotten or put aside.
All of us want to do something. -.
something to help-to help our
friends abroad, to help defeat the
forces of evil that seek to prove
that our way of living. our liberty,
our freedom are merely a prelude
to a better way of life" which,
call it dictatorship. Naziism, Com
munism, authoritarian government,
Fascism or what you will, is en-
slavement.

been accomplished here through

spending to the urgent appeal of
the American Red Cross for con-
tributions throughout our nation.
This is also the reason why the
American Red Cross quotas should
be raised in every community
wherein quota has been set.
Through this appeal of the Amer
ican Red Cross, every citizen of
the United States can conclusively
prove to the world at large, that
the people Of our nation can be de-
pended upon to cooperate to the
fullest extent, no matter what the
need may be. Therefore, let us
put our wholehearted efforts be-
hind the American Red Cross drive
now being conducted in Smyrna,
therby assuring not only the final
success, but substantial margin
beyond the goal set.
The Red Cross movement was
first started at Geneva, Switzer-
land, in the year 1861. The ma
tions meeting there for that pur-
pose agreed to refrain from firing
on ambulances, hospitals, nurses
and doctors who were occupied in
caring for the wounded under a
Red Cross flag. In it's infancy the
Red Cross was conceived primarily
for the purpose of helping those
persons wounded in actual war
fare. However, prior to the for
nation of the Red Cross at Cen
eva, Switzerland, the Civil War
broke out in the United States. 1t
was at this time, that a certain re-
tired school teacher named Clara
Barton, born in the State of Mas
sachusetts, in the year 1921, be-
came a nurse. Clara Barton spent
her time nursing in hospitals
which were engaged in the work of
caring for wounded soldiers. Her
duties soon brought her in con-
tact with many sorrowing moth
ers, fathers and wives who were
searching among the wounded for
their loved ones, often searching in
vain. After the Civil War was
over, Clara Barton organized an
agency for the purpose of finding
soldiers, living and dead,
and thousands of grateful hearts !
blessed her efforts, because it was
through her they were enabled to
find the place where their soldier !
heroes lay at rest. During the |
War Clara Bar
ton joined the Red Cross and
abored for the comforts of the
and needy. The rest of
ner life was spent in the service of
he Red Cross. Through her in
1uence she founded the Red Cross
in the United States, |
and became so persistent in her eff
'orts that the constitution of the
society was so changed that it can
now go to the aid of sufferers from |
my great calamity, as well as

Cross was a facsimile of the NAL
tese Cross, similar to that which
was worn by the knights of the
Crusades. Now, however, the plain
Greek Cross is used. The Red
Cross organization throughout the
world stands ready to render help
in peace, as well as in war. Their
workers show no discrimination as
to color, race or creed. The goal
of achievement for the Red Cross
is to relieve human suffering.
