In an urgent appeal to the
residents of this county to be
generous in their donations to
the Red Cross during the 1854
campaign, Chairman Brandon
has the following to say:
"The American Red Cross is
the peoples organization in the
truest sense. Serving us all, it
merits the generous support of
all of us. Through our support
to the Red Cross we give express
sion to the most noble of human
attitudes-concern and compass
sion for the less fortunate among
our fellowmen, for those who
are visited by tragedy and dis
aster.
'Tn discharging our moral
obligation to help the stricken
we do not only what is right
but what is good and noble and
spiritually enriching. In helping
others through the great human
itarian work of the Red Cross,
we help our society, collectively,
and ourselves, individually"

DR.. Bryant re-entered the
navy on June 30, 1852, and
practicing in Senecaville for
more than two years. When re-
called he had four months of
special training in psychiatry at
the Philadelphia Naval hospi-
tai. In November, 1852, he was
transferred to the U. S. Naval
Air Station at Pensacola, Fla,
where he has served as assist
ant director of psychiatry at the
station hospital.
A graduate of Ohio State Uni
versity, DR.. Bryant has previ-
ously had active service in both
the Army and Navy. His return
to Senecaville will be welcom-
ed by residents of Guernsey and
northern Noble counties where
medical care has been limited
for the past two years.
1t will be recalled that a
tremendous effort was made by
the people in Noble county and
Senecaville to retain DR.. Bryant
at the clinic but to no avail.
Since the death of Dr. j. l.
Roman, this Section of the county
has been completely without the
services of a physician and DR.
