OFF CELEBRATION
Heavy Rains of Past Week
Make It Impracticable To
Have It at This Timp
Warreaton, July 23. the heavy
raias of the past few da a which have
made roads practically impassable ia
many places aad caused aumerous small
bridges to be washed awsy ia this sec
tion aad the prospects of a continuance
caused the committee oa arrangements
today to call off the proposed celebra
tion Friday ia honor of the returned
soldiers.
Attorney General James 8. Manning
a-4 Col. Sidney W. Minor had accepted
invitations to apeak at the exerciaea
and a big day was ia prospect. However,
the westher man could give little
promise ef aa improvement in the wea
ther aad tha committee reluctantly de
cided to postpone the eveat until Octo
ber 1st. Ths farmers have a big picnic
here ia August and September is a busy
asonth, which accounts for the long
postponement.
Heavy rains here threatened the dam
of the Feck Manufacturing Company,
owners of the town lighting plant, but
hard work ia loading down tha structure
with sand Nga prevented its being
washed away.
Elaborate arrangements had been
made for the celebration Friday by the
eonmittee which waa composed of Tas
ker Polk. B. r. Ward, Mra. Peter Ar-rington-
Mrs. W. A. Cornell, R. P. Boyd,
W 11. burroughs and W. Brodis Jones.
Invitatioaa had been sent throughout

expected The committee promises a
still bigger event in October when crops

HOME SERVICE OF RED"
CROSS STILL OCCUPIED
Hundred! of Thousand! of
Families of Soldiers Are Be
ing Assisted 0

Washington July 23. A report ea
''Home Service of the American Bed
Cross issued today shows that 886,073
families of soldiers and sailors ire still
twing insisted through this medium.
The rervictJ.) probably ia touch with
more than 600,1)00 families, as only
59 per eest. of the Home Service sec
tions reported.
Greats and loans of money to the
amount of $560063.75 were made in
one month recently. While this Is but
a comparatively small part of "Home
Service" money relief in the past four
teen months haa totalled ao',836,760.
This money is tskea from the Bed Cross
chapter treasuries which are maintained
from the chapter's portion of member
ship dues and war funds.
Storing the wsr ths noma Service
eases rsn as high as 700,000 at one time
Engaged in thie work were more thaa
30,000 Home Service workers, 24,000
of whom were volunteers. In addition
to ths experienced social workers, more
than 100 persons were trained in the
Home Service institutes maintained by
the American Red Crosa throughout the
country. Of the 3,700 chapters in thia
wjrk, 2,000 were in communities with
a populstion of less than 8,000.
With the return of the men from
nbrosd the work hss deercssed- but
there yot remsins much to be done in
the difficult period of ndjustment. It
had been decided, as the need for Home
Service with the families of soldiers and
sailor decreases, thst chapters may un
dertake work with other families where
the field is not already covered by
cither locinl sgencies. The Red 'Cross
will not seek to perpetuate Home Ser
vice as an integral part of ita organiza-
tioa, but will leave each chapter free
te establish It independently ef the
Red Crose at aay time it seems advis
able to do so. ' V
