RED CROSS ROLL
CALL OPENS ON
ARMISTICE DAY
Twenty Solicitors VIII Make
House To House Membership
Canvass

AS November 21st marks the close
of the Red Cross Roll Call the peo-
pie of Pocomoke City and vicinity
are urged to hand in their member
ships within the next few days.
The people of this community are
familiar with the splendid work car
ried on by the Red Cross. It's an
organization that searches out the
poor and ill, and brings relief and
medical service no matter what creed
or color. It works for soldiers and
sailors in peace, as in war and cares
for 100000 war disabled veterans.
It protects against diphtheria and
small pox by tests and vaccination and
teaches responsibility to seven and a
half millions of children.
These are only few of the many
reasons why Pocomoke should do its
part in the Red Cross Membership
Drive.
Mrs. r. Lee Hall is chairman of
the local chapter and of the roll call
and has twenty solicitors working
with her. The dues are ST., half of
which is sent to National Headquart-
ers to carry on emergency relief work
while the other half remains in the
county to be used for local operation.
Remember, the organization is able
to function only with the cooperation
of the public.

decoration. The average for all the
Elementary schools for October 40

ment of most cases of organic heart disease.
 This applies in cases of angina pectoris and coronary occlusion as well as in cases of uncomplicated valvular trouble or leakage"
 There is a popular misapprehen- sion regarding high blood pressure. Too many individuals who have dis- covered they have higher blood pres sure than they consider normal" imagine that any form of exercise or eXertion is harmful or even danger ous. Except when there are com- plications which cause the physician ot restrict the physical activity, regular daily exercise, work or play without associated emotional stress is the best possible remedy for such persons. For example ordinary housework, gardening, care of a lawn, daily round of golf, three or four miles of oxygen on the hoof.
 Remember. the fundamental cause of CVD, heart or artery disease, Is anoxia, oxygen deficiency, and ex- ercise increases the absorption of oxygen.
 More slackers than workers suc- cumb to heart disease.
 My advice to any one with any form of heart or artery disease is this: When in doubt about work, play or exercise, consult a physician. If you are too stingy to squander the price of professional advice,' then have go at it and see. The chances are that a reasonable amount of honest work, play or exercise every day will do your body and soul good.
