especially designed to improve
community health. 1t is probably
the most extensive social expert
mcnt in health planning ever
made.
1t began in one county in Michi-
gan and the entire county was or
gained for the purpose of improv-
ing the general health. Before en-
barking on this crusade the Board
Of Trustees of the Foundation de-
cidcd that they would use its re-
sources mainly in the application
of knowledge rather than in re-
search or relief.
Research is of unqucstioncd
value but support was already
available for many worthwhile
projects. Relief is necessary but
has come to be an accepted re-
sponsibility of the government.
The important thing TO do, in their
judgment, was to find ways and
means to help the average citizen
apply the knowledge that had al
ready Dccn won Tor him.
Educating q Community
This was big undertaking: all
of the resources in the way of hos.
pitfalls, schools. churches and homes
of the county had to be utilized;
all sorts of social service workers,
including school teachers, priests.
and parents, had to be educated
and especially educated to find out
what the needs of the community
were.
1t would hardly be possible to
mention the individual activities
of the foundation in establishing
their work. Of course, most of
the work was concentrated on the
health Of the children. This began
with rural maternity care and in
.luded 'he nutrition of children

responsibility 1t is to see that
they receive proper medical care
or disqualification. In addition
to this Red Cross ambulance
there are on call in case of
emergency some 30-odd trucks
and privately-owned station
wagons-with equipment and
drivers.
There's also a mobile canteen
which has just arrived in War
renton. 1t was driven down from
New York by two women from
the British American Ambulance
Corps and the money to buy it
came from funds raised by Mrs.
William Doeller through local
contributions. Mrs. Doeller is
also right-hand-man to the can
teen chairman, Mrs. S. j. Macy.
There's a canteen kitchen, too.
It's In the Arthur Charrington's
garage (Which they generously
contributed) and which has been
almost entirely equipped by Mr..
Thomas Letter. It's equipped to
feed 200 people at time in case
Of disaster in the county and a
little later on, Mrs. Macy says,
they hope to use it as a recrea-
ton center for service men.
It's self-supporting, for the
women have raised the money
themselves, serving lunches at
horseshows and in various other
ways. Even the labor for con-
verting the garage into canteen
was contributd by volunteers
and the town of Warrenton gave
the lights, water, etc. BY the
1st of August. Mrs. Macy says,
therell be nutrition classes all
over the county-under the di-
rection of the Red Cross Cam
teen.
Few women are as we'll quail

aid classes as Mrs. William
Emory. A Britisher by birth,
she also has a doctors degree
and served as a physician in Eng
land in the last war. Under her
direction the children of Fau-
quier County are being taught

for two weeks, they receive in
tensive training in swimming and

Miss Harriet Turnbull is the
instructor if she can't make
a swimmer of your child in two

hard working and wonderful at
instructing. The children meet
every morning at the Edward
jenkins pool-Which has been
loaned for the two weeks instruc-
ton period They're picked up
by a school bus-and they can
hardly wait for that bus to ar

1t didn't take the bombing Of
Pearl Harbor to galvanize Fau-
quier County. Va, into war work.
A good many months before the
Japs' sneak attack, the Virginia
women had organized flrst-aid
classes, canteen work, q motor
corps, home service, water safety,
etc. So when December Z came,
they were well on the way to
being an extremely efficient
group in the war effort.
Chairman OF the Fauquier
County Chapter Of the Red Cross
Is Mrs. Martin j. O'Connell,
who's had the position for the
past two years. She's a sweet,
soft-spoken blond woman who
does 4 tremendous amount of
work-quietly and efficiently.
With her husband (who's COM
missioner Of conciliation for the
United States Government) she's
lived In the same lovely old
Southern home fright In the
village of Warrenton) for the
past as years.
Since Mr.. O'Connen is now
stationed in the Middle West,
he's really only home for visits
his wife keeps herself interested
and busy with her Red Cross
work, and for relaxation helps
the hired man" take care Of the
O'Connell's beautiful flower gar
dens and the spacious vegetable
garden just beyond. Her roses
are famous throughout the coun-
tryside-and so are her vegeta-
bles. Surplus of either she gives
to neighboring friends, or if she
has to 60 to Washington on Red
Cross business she fills the back
seat Of her car with them to take
Is presents to city-dwelling ac-
quaintances.
Chairman Of the Home Service
for Fauquier County Is Mrs. c.
z. Jeffries. When she used to
live in Washington she did lot
Of social service work. She's
ably qualified to handle and di-
rect this job. the primary respon-
sibility of which is to assist serv-
ice men and their families in
meeting those needs which arise
from the mans service in the
armed forces.
The Red Cross Motor Corps
gives her plenty Of help-taking
her to all ends of the county.
Since this home service is real
ly a link between the men in
the armed forces and their fam
lilies, it takes a trained social
service worker who is both under
standing and sympathetic to fill
the requirements of the position.
Mrs. Jeffries is all of this-and
more, and the many, many peo-
pie she's helped all adore her.
Pretty little Mrs. Henri de
Heller is captain of the Motor
Corps Of Fauquier County. She
has 20 women volunteers under
her-au of whom have had ad-
vanced first-aid training (most
Of them have completed at least
two advanced flrst-aid courses,
military drill, map reading, spe-
cial courses in stretcher bearing
and car mechanics. The ambu-
lance, which was a gift from
Raymond McGrath and Leon
Cotnareanu, is now used almost
entirely for clinical work, but is
on call for any emergency
throughout the county.
Through the welfare society
and the Red Cross, cases are re-
