THE AMERICAN PRESS A.* SOCI AT iON
t
Asheville's patriotism was short
lined. The news of the armistice
brought forth great gobs of en
thusiasm among her citizens, and
the exempted males were regular
"sob sisters'"' when the boys were
returning home. This didn t take
any money, any ffeort or incon
venience to any one. Now, when
some real true-blue fellows, feel
that they owe a debt to the boys
that can never be paid, and wish
to show their appreciation of the
valor and sacrifices of these boys,
by entertaining them during the
re-union of the "Old Hickory'
Regiment in Asheville this month,
there's nothing doing. Thell with
such patriotism!
o,
Gladys Rice.
Miss Gladys Rice, the celebrated
American Soprano, assisted by Miss
Adeline Packard will be heard in an
unique recital at Cliffside Audi
torium, Thursday evening, Sept. 9th
Miss Rice is one of the most prom
ising young sopranos now on the
concert stage. She is the possessor
of a brilliant soprano voice of very
distinctive quality. She was born
in New York City, and has accom
plished her vocal artistic training
entirely in America, of which fact
she is very proud.
Miss Rice will present a program
of some of the best known and most
popular songs in the English tongue.
The fact that she is assisted by such
a charming artist as Miss Adeline
Packard lends added interest to the
affair.
The recital is to be complimentary
in character, admittance being by
card of introduction only which may
be secured from Cliffside Mills
Furniture Store so long as acco
modations remain.
School Opening
The Forest City public schools
will open Monday, September 20.
I want to urge all parents to send
in their children at the very
beginning. It is very important to
get started with the others. All
children between the ages of eight
and fourteen come under the Conq
pulsory School Law and have to at
tend the entire eight months in the
Forest City schools or any other
place where the term is that long.
J believe we will have the best
school in Forest Citv this year we
have ever had. I expect to enroll
seven to eight hundred children
The teachers are the best prepared
we have had Let everybody take
full advantage of the opportunity
offered. The school is at your
service.
Any pupils living in the country
who can enter the high school are
invited to attend. We have had an
increasing number of pupils
coining in from year to year. Their
influence has had a good effect on
the work of the school. We need
more of vou. The school will have
an additional teacher in the high
| school an fit can give better instruc
\ tion. A couise in Agriculture will
J be given under Mr. 0. C. Psoffitt.
i There are no tuition clu.; gcs for any
• ot the work. Make you 'plans to
come.

Rural Service.
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chil
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball * leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
As a result of community organiza
tion, townships in which there had
been neither plans nor Interest in
community progress have been organ
ized to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
Instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lic comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In erder that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces
sary.

» HARRY I MORXV *
Something like ten years ago, before
he became a Vitagraph star, Harry T.
Morey was described as a "robust" ac
tor. His fine physique has stood him
in good stead in the silent drama. He
has been able to play all sorts of roles,
and look the part.
WHAT THE ANTIS
DON'T TELL YOU
Anti-suffragists tell you that between
1916 and 1918 the Socialist vote in
creased 22 per cent. So it did, but
what the antis don't tell you is that the
increase came in the year 1916-1917,
when women were not voting.
The Socialist state vote for governor
in 1918 was 23,623 less than the city
vote alone for mayor in 1917.
City vote:
1916, for governor 33,578
1917, for mayor 145,328
1918, for governor 86,427
A decrease of 58,901 in the city So
cialist vote In the year women voted.
If you are going to disfranchise any
body for being a Socialist, disfranchise
the men. They contribute the bulk of
Socialist votes.
