The Cliffside News The Cliffside News Is published each week in connection with Th. j Forest City Courier. B. E. ROACH Editor THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 192S I • "; Election day was very quiet here, j The largest crowds ever at an elec tion here swarmed around the polls i from the time it opened until the j close, but everybody seemed in a j good humor. — ! Mr. D. C. Hughes placed a radio in the theatre where the large crowd could hear the election returns as ' they saw the pictures. After the show j the people lingered on to hear the fate of their favorites. They stayed j until about eleven o'clock and then some of them joined the crowd that stayed in the lobby of the R. R. Haynes Memorial Building until one ; o'clock, A. M. Wednesday morning. \ We understand that some here in i town stayed up all night, listening • to the reports over the radio. I - j As we wri'ee this, (Monday night) j about forty have asked to have a j plate reserved for them at the "Wny- i side Banquet" cf the Rutherford j County Wayside Gang to be held | in the R. R. Haynes Memorial Build- j ing tomorrow night. We are expect ing "Old Wayside" himself, Harold C. Brown of Charlotte, the origina tor of the Wayside Movement. There is to be another banquet in j the Memorial Building at the same j hour. The Rutherford County Fank- | ers Association will meet here. Ten years ago yesterday, (Sunday) the armistice was signed and with what rejoicing the news was re- j ceived by the folks at home. It would ! seem sometimes that we have almost ■ forgotten in the rush of our every- j day lives. We have thousands who', are still suffering in mind and body ! from the effects of the war. Many of our bodys are at Oteen and ether j Government hospitals still "paying , with their lives" for the peace that J is ours. Let us not forget them. j Some say that the result, of the j election is a decided victory for the i cause of prohibition while another i group say that the large vote for Smith is indicative of the discontent : of the wage earners. As we \ iew it,! it is simply another case of the ma- j jority ruling and it is the duty of ( every citizen to remember, "This is ; still my country."

Published in Connection With The Forest City Courier RED CROSS FIBKTS DEATH AW DISEASE Four Nation-wide Services Pro mote Health Preservation and Accident Prevention. A nation-wide program for presef ration of health and prevention of ac cidental death is one of the great ser vices of the American Red Cross. Four bureaus, manned by experts, direct this work. They are the Public Health Nursing Service: the First Aid and Life Saving Service: the Home Hy giene and Care of the Sick Service, and the Nutrition Service. These services aim at preservation of health through skilled nursing care; prevention of loss of life in accidents: prevention of illness, through cleanli ness in the home and knowledge of methods of care of the sick; and rais ing the standard of physical efficiency through proper eating. This nation wide campaign against disease and accidental death is con ducted through a majority of the 3.532 Chapters of the Rod Cross. It is a community campaign, fitted to the health problems of each section. The Red Cross, through its Chap ters, is the largest employer of trained Public Health nurses in rural work in the United States. In its campaign for preservation of healtn and preven tion of disease it has aided in estab lishing 2,000 or more community nurs ing services. At the national headquarters an en rollment of nurses is maintained, which forms a great nursing reserve. Under its Charter from CongTess this Red Cross Nursing Service is the offi cial reserve for the United States Army and Navy Nurse Corps. In addi tion, these nurses are available in time of disaster or epidemic. This re serve list of trained nurses has in 1928 reached its peak in number enrolled— there being now 47,000 nurses quali fied under Red Cross regulations who may be mobilized in time of emer gency. The comprehensive, nation-wide pro gram of instruction in First Aid and Life Saving maintained by the Red Cross is in answer to the appalling total of accidental deaths each year in the United States. In its First Aid instruction among firemen and police forces, in factories, railroad centers, great industries, and public utilities, the Red Cross annual ly reaches more than 160,000 men and women, whom it teaches to be alert, ready in case of accident, to apply first aid treatment. The campaign against accidental deaths through drowning has been carried throughout the country, and there now are 173,506 men and women, boys and girls, qualified as Red Cross life savers. More than 500,U00 certificates have been issued to girls and women, boys and men who have completed the Red Cross Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick course, which teaches sanitation in the home, safe care of the infant and child and of the invalid in the home. gscora | A^R|£A^l^ BOY SCOUT HIKE The Boy Scouts left town about five o'clock Monday afternoon for a hike and camp supper down on the river near the junction of Broad River and Second Broad River. Af ter cooking and eating their suppers it was very dark down there. Just the kind of night for playing "Jack show your light" and this game was enjoyed for some time until all were pretty well tired then they come to gether and studied the stars for awhile. The Scoutmaster would name a constellation or some special star or planet and the boys would try to be first to locate them. Two more boys have been elected to member ship in the Troop. They are Leon Sargee and Frank Ramsey. "All women are alike/' says Lady Allenby. This thought should be a great comfort to many husbands.

D. Sudden Deaths j i Such announcements as the sud ! den death of a neighbor, often sets us to wondering whether we are not harboring some hidden enemy that may strike us down without warning | —and we shudder a little, and dis • miss the unpleasant thought from our minds as quickly as possible. i Now, listen: There is no fatal ail : ment that strikes us without warn- Bear that in mind. The fellow J that dropped dead at his work bench, ; had plenty of warnings, but he ignor ied them. He neglected that little keen pain that he felt in the left breast from time to time—that al ; ways wore away so quickly. He didn't heed the "dizzy spells" or the misty spots before his eyes when he ate pretty freely of fresh meat or j veal loaf for supper. He was too ab : sorbed in his work to attend to a | bowel that had been clogged for 'years; he saw no more than just an : noyance, when his kidneys got him out of bed five or six times each i night. No, my dear sir and madame, I —you are always warned—warned i plenty before a sudden attact ' strikes you down. Heed the warn ings, however slight, if you do not understand symptoms perfectly. It will pay in length of days maybe. If you do not understand, go to the ; physician who does. A visit to the doctor is many times cheaper than a funeral! The capable physician will tell you that neglect in matters that pertain to life and health is simply j inexcusable—worse than the height Swas worth a month ago, and at least SIOO more than it will be worth in another month or so. On that basis, buying your new car now is like finding money. It means you can have the pleasure and comfort of a new car at once , and save real money by doing so. Plainly, then, you can't afford to wait. More People Buy Hudson-Essex Cars Than Any Other Six 1 tie Only Super-Sixes CLIFFSIDE MOTOR COMPANY ufc., . Cliffside, N. C« of folly.

Last Sunday being Armistice Day Mr. Rhinehardt made a very fitting talk just before his sermon at the evening service. He reminded his hearers of just what this meant to the world and appealed for the prop er keeping of this day to the memory of those who sleep in Flanders Field and those who returned. After this preliminary talk he launched into his sermo'n, his subject being, "Peace". Several visitors were noted in the congregation Sunday evening. It was a pleasure to have them and they are extended a cordial invitation to come again. DR. H. L. ROBERTSON Cliffside, N. C. > ' DENTIST
