' AR-S - TRUCKS - TRACTORS REOCRGSSAOVANCING IN HEALIM CAMPAIGN Extends Service to New Fieids and Brings Heaiing Hope to Remote Sections. "The supreme opportunity for lead ership" for the American Red Cross ia its heaith service. Thus a 'committee made up of prominent physicians, san itarians and pubiic health experts, after mdnths of exhaustive study, re ported and urged that not oniy should the Red Cross continue its present service, but should undertake a comprehensive educational campaign along public health lines. The an nual report of the American Red Cross, just issued, discloses that it has grasped this opportunity in the fields of public health nursing, in struction in home hygiene and care of the sick, nutrition work, first aid to the injured and in water life-saving. Health service is fundamentally, historically and practically an impor tant function of the Red Cross, and each year marks its extension into new fields and along broader lines. In the Red Cross Nursing Service there are enrolled nearly 40,000 nurses, 20, 000 of whom served during the World War. The past year Red Cross nurses were assigned to duty in isolated sections of Alaska and North Caro lina and to work among the fisher men of Penobscot Bay, Me. The Public Health Nursing Service, inaugurated by the American Red Cross in 1912, which operates chieHy in rural sections untouched by other public health agencies, has 1,038 Red Cross nurses working under the di rection of Chapters. This work has won so high a regard that many of the nurses are taken over by the local authorities to maintain health services for their communities. Instruction in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick is noting a steady advance. Since 1914 certihcates of proficiency have been given 304,427 women who com pleted the Red Cross course. In the last year 26,595 certificates were awarded and 65,901 students were un der the instruction of 1,054 Red Cross nurses. The benefits derived from meals balanced to meet each person's pecul iar needs is winning widespread rec ognition through the work of the Red Cross Nutrition Service, particularly in the schools. During the school year 2,688 carried on regular instruc tion in nutrition, reached more than 150,000 children and adults. More than 2,250 volunteers assisted in this work. Throughout the country 35,283 health meetings were held under Red Cross auspices, attended by approxi mately 254,500 persons. —Fortune knockks at every man's door, but it doesn't carry the key. —Ignorance is supposed to be bliss, but it isn't even a good counterfeit. —Mobile News-Item. —Always, if possible, steer clear or of the law which has been said to be "swift to grasp and slow to release." —Talladega Daily Home.

WEWS UEAM (L. C.

The last section of the Pittman Construction Company, which has completed the National Highway pro ject through-gtovall will leave for Atlanta this week. / . The Southern has recently made some changes at the local station, and we have a nice depot for a town the size of Stovall.

(Smithfield Herald) We have thought that it was about time some new style of writing w&S introduced, and now Dr. Kimmins of London University comes to America with the news that a new script like the Greek system is becoming popu* lar in English schools. We recall that in our experience the fashion has changed three times, from Spencerian to vertical and then to Palmer. It is no wonder the typewriter is, used more and more, for with such variety in teaching writing, a pe nmanship that is scarcely legible is often the result, and it becomes necessary to resort to the typewriteir.
