RED CROSS CHAPTER HAS
FIRST MEETING OF YEAR
Rrpo*s* Heard From Members of the
Organisation.—Miss Katherine My
ers Makes Speech.
* The Cabarrus County Chapter of
the American Red Cross held its first
meeting of tho new year at the Y. M.
C. A. Friday at 4 p. m. Mr. Howard
L. Collie, chairman, presiding.
Interesting reports of the various
services brought out that the
Chapter is carrying on a continuous
and efficient program.
Miss Mary King reported 100 per
eent. enrollment in the Junior Red
Cross for the last three years and par
ticipation by the children in Christ
mas giving for crippled children, and
Other activities. Mr. X. W. Denny,
chairman of the Life Saving and First
Aid, spoke of the wide interest in the
Red Cross Life Saving program and
said that 570 young people were
taught to swim last year.
Mr. Collie stated that the response
to the call for sweaters, which went
out last September, had been splendid
and that be had on hand a number of
warm sweaters ready to ship to the
hospitals for the disabled men. The
great supply left over from the war
work has just now become exhausted
and the new supply guarantees that
no ex-service man will call in vain to
the Greatest Mother whose faithful
workers have brought out their knit
ting needles again.
M^ss -Katherine Myers, nursing field
representative, was present at jthv
meeting and complimented the chap
ter and its 750 members enrolled in
November on their fine program of
service to the community, nnd discuss
ed the possibility for additional con
structive work for the future. Along
this line, mention was made of the
nutrition program of the Red Cross,
which wns established in 1021 in re
sponse to a demand for trained nutri
tionists to go a community for
three months or more to direct an in
tensive educational campaign against
malnutrition. The whole country Is
now awake to the fact that an aston
ishingly large percentage of our popu
lation is suffering from many of the
disenses often traeenble directly to
malnutrition, such as rickets, scurvy,,
pellagra, tuberculosis, as well as from
other indications of malnutrition,
such ns poor muscular conditions, list
less and dull expressions, poor posture,
underweight and defective teeth. In
our schools it has been found that
from fifteen to fifty per cent, of the
children are malnourished. This con
dition" arises not so much from lack of
food as from wrong selection of food,
lack of home training, and other reme
diable factors. Miss Myers suggested
that at some opportune time, the
chapter in co-operating with other ag
encies, consider this fruitful field of
service.
For the last year the chapter has
been providing a car and upkeep for
the county tuberculosis nurse, whose
work is carried on under the auspices
of the health department, and it wns
decided to continue this assistance, if
desired. A subscription to the Red
Cross Courier for the Public Library
was "authorized. ‘'" v -
Daughters of Confederacy Meet.
The United Daughters of the Con
federacy held an interesting business
and social meeting Friday afternoon
at the home of Mrs. Jno. K. Patter
son, with Mesdames Frank Goodson
and C. B. Wagoner as joint hostesses.
Although the day was cold,-with the
earth covered with a blanket of snow
ice; trees weighted with diamond-like
icicles, twenty enthusiastic daughters
wended their way to lend a helping
loving hand in keeping the southern
home fires burning for the old veterans
of the War Between the States. In
the absence of the local president,
Mrs. Robert Jones the vice-president,
presided. It was voted to place a
boulder near the Jackson Training
School iu honor of the Ku Klux Klan,
which order did much in the dark six
ties in the protection of their citizens.
It was decided to re-elect Mesdames
L. T. Hartsell and Robert Young as
Confederate Dinner committee.
After the business session, an en
joyable social hour was given over to
the hostesses, when the following beau
tiful program was rendered:
Mrs. Goodson read “The Lost
Cause.”
Mrs. H. G. Gibson sang in her us
ual beautiful voice “Love’s Old Sweet
Song,” and “Jingle Bells.”
Miss Rose Harris, a most gifted
story teller and reader, gave a de
lightful reading of an old time South
ern story.
The Daughters departed with a true
Southern spirit of love for the cause,
to meet in February at the home of
Mrs. L. D. Coltrane, Sr. P.
Postal Business at Gastonia Increased.
Gastonia, January B.—(/P)—Uncle
Sam’s business in Gastonia showed

office sales for 1925 shows. ft

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
SLEDDING IS POPULAR
SPORT FOLLOWING SNOW
Hitts in and Around Concord Filled
With People Enjoying the Winter
Sport.
Sledding was a popular amuse
ment in Concord Friday when the
first snow in three years of sufficient
depth to use for this sport fell,
transforming the hills into ready
made places slides.
As is customary on occasions of
this kind. Archibald’s pasture was a
bec-hive of activity throughout the
day and during the early part of the
night. Although the sleet made th*
course a little slower than when only
snow falls, it was sufficiently fast
to make an exhilerating sport.
Not ‘ only did the boys and girls
of the city make use of.the “hill”
but a number of the grown-ups in
dulged in sledding, many of them
spilling before they learned how to
handle their conveyance.
Several of the streets made ad
mirable slides. Bell Avenue was used
part of the day, as was Academy
street from Spring to the gas plaut.
This latter has a straight-nway for
the longest drop in the city. The
danger from automobiles kept many
from using these two streets.
Some of the more ingenuous boys
and girls hooked up behind automo
biles aud proceeded over the paved
streets nt a rapid rate.
A string of conveyances which nt
rncted much attention was a sextet
of sleds hitched behind a horse. N.
A.) Archibald drove the horse arid
behind. him were twelve children on
the train, having n merry time as
they rode through the eity.
Prospects of a thaw today made it
look-jas though there would be but
little more use to which the sleds
might be put for the present.
JUDGE BRYSON TALKS TO
C. OF C. DIRECTORS
Tells of Great Need for National
Park in Smoky Mountains of This
State.
Judge T. D. Bryson, of Bryson
City, who presided at the sessions of
Cabarrus County Superior Court here
this week, delivered a masterful ad
dress Friday night before the direc
tors of the Chamber of Commerce,
speaking on the proposed National
Park in the Smoky Mountains.
A campaign to raise funds for this
park will be waged in Concord in
the near future and Judge Bryson
was asked to discuss the matter for
the information of the Chamber of
Commerce directors. The address
was characterized by the men who
heard him as one of the finest ever
delivered in Concord.
So greatly impressed were the
Chamber of Comerce official that they
have nsked Judge Bryson to speak
again Monday night and he has agreed
to do so. He will speak at the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Club at
7 :30 and a number of persons in the
city are expected td hear him.
Judge Bryson iya native of west
ern North Carolina and he knows con
ditions there in a very intimate man
ner. He lias secured data covering
the benefits to be derived from such
a park, and at the same time he ran
tell from personal experience the
great help that such a park will mean
to the people who live in western
North Carolina.
WILL PRESENT WINTER
BE COLD AS IN l#l7t
Weather Prophets Have Predicted
That Last Summer’s Heat Is to Be
Followed by Severe Winter.
Will the present winter duplicate
conditions of the winter of 1917 and
1918 is the question which is being
asked by numbers of people.
Those who enjoy a “real” winter
are hopeful that the heavy precipita
tion of snow and sleet Thursday night
and Friday trill remain on the ground
for some time, thus giving opportun
ity for sledding and putting off the
day when the streets are covered with
slush.
It has been recalled by those who
keep up with the weather, that the
first snow came in 1917 on the 20th
of December. From that time until
January 10th, it remained frozen, tfiie
ground being covered with a heavy
coating of snow and ice.
Weather prophets have been almost
unanimous in predicting an unusual
ly severe winter. The extreme heat
: of the past summer was said to be an
indication of extreme cold this win
-1 ter. Although thus far the weather
has not been unusually cold, the
• prophets are still confident that it will
come and some predict that this is a
■ beginning.
The winter of 1917-18 is said to
! have also followed a very hot sum
