Miss Ehrenfeld stated that TO SICK AHD NEEDY IN T« PUBLIC HEALTH AND COUNTRY GODSEND Red Cross Has Placed Seventy-Four Hurses ' In Southey Communities And Hopes to Increase Number Through Fourth Roll Call. As the time approaches for the Fourth RoH Cali of the American Red Cross, which takes place from Novem ber 11 to 25, many people all over the ^ountry are asking how their last year’s membership fees have been spent and what are the organization’s plans for the future. Fall statements haxd been made from time to time, and the financial records of the Red Cross both in the chapters at0 for na tional work are always open to the public, but many people have neither time nor inclination to study them, and the simple statement that public health nursing is one of the most Im portant phases of the Red Cross pro gram means little to a person who has not made a special study of the work. It Is necessary to understand just what a Red Cross public heflth nurse means to some specific community to realize the importance of what the or ganization is doing. Take the little mountain town of Highlands, N. C., for instance, a summer resort with a winter population of about three hun dred people, situated on a table-land on the side of a mountain, eighteen miles from a railroatl over roads 4hat Tatns tor measuring under-noujrished children; here talks are made to moth ers about the proper care of their ba bies. The hall is fitted up as a wait ing room with health posters on the walls^ and health literature, for distri bution to all who are interested^ The room on th» right is an emergency hospital fitted up v^th five beds and a crib for the ■»ery small patients. And at the back is the nurse’s private office, which is also the operating room, fitted with a real operating ta ble .and a dentist’s chair. Weighing and measuring children of school and pre-school age was one of the first things undertaken at the center. Children who were under- Athens Banner, says, in part: I went in to ask Miss Crawford, theJ Clarke County Red Cross nurse, about her work recently, and I was not only interested in what she had to tell me, but aroused as to'my <*wn responsibilities in the matter of health. I had an idea that Miss Crawford’s duties as county nurse consisted in going about nursing charity bases. But no, indeed. That just shows how ig norant I was of the sort of an invest ment I had made with my Red Cross dollar. Miss Crawford works on the theory that-^an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. She says she has not. time for what seems to be tech nically known as “bed-side nursing.” AMERICAN RED CiROSS Sonthern Diviyon Atlanta, Qa.

Miss Harry next turned her atten tion to the care of the teeth. At her request, a dentist came over the moun tains from Franklin and stafed for family how to nurse the patient. She will stay perhaps tw'o hours at a time, and for such a visit you may pay her a quarter or fifty cents, or even fif teen cents, if you prefer not to accept charity, and she will explain to you what is needed in the case of Iths particular illness you are nursing and ten days and was busy for ever> min- j help you with the first steps, ute of that time, finding several seri-1 in Tuckston and Oconeo Heights she Washington. — Major General Wil liam G.

Miss nursing. !• ; tTT, These classes meet once a it has a Red Cross chapter. And last year the Red Cross Chapter applied for a public health nurse, that is. a graduate trained nurse who has taken special pfbst-graduate training in pub lic health work. The Nursing Depart ment of the Southern Division sent Miss Margaret Harry, a nurse who luid been trained unde# a Red Cross scholarship and w’ho thoroughly un derstood mountain conditions, to fill the place. One of Miss Harry’s first mores af ter she became acquainted with the people and won their confidence was to open a Health Center. 'Health Cen ter is another term that means little to the person vho has not seen one In operation. The Red Cross Health Center at Highlands is the lower floor the Masonic Temple, donated, rent free, by the Mr.noris for that purpose. !t is separated into thrtee rooms and 1. hall by part';ions vrhich Miss Harry i)u!lt herself l ecanse of the scarcity of la!:O’*. On" of the rooms is a rest room and g leral clinic. Here are Ul9 BPftles for weighing and the ar-pa- an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, ford shows her pupils, at their leisure followed the dentist and' a number of operations for tonsils and adenoids were performed at the Health Center, the patients and their mothers being kept overnight in the emergency hos pital. Both clinics will be a more or less regular matter from now on. In addition to her work at the health center, Miss Harry has done visitirg nursing all over the mountains, some times walking four or five miles to see one patient. One woman, the mother of ten children, who has not been out of bed for several years, has already been taken to Charlotte for a serious operation,^Miss Harry accom panying her on the journey as she had never been on the train before. But the value of a Red Cross pub lic health nurse i^ not limited to re mote rural communities, as the fol lowing jextracts from a report made by a woman of Athens, Ga., w'ho in terested herself in the work of tlio Red Cross nurse employed by the Clarke County Chapter will show. The report, which v'as published in the and under more favorable circum stances than when there is actual ill ness, the same things that she shows the housekeeper when she is called into a home where there is sickness. In East Athens she^ has a , Little Mothers’ Club, where she is teaching these same things to the girls. And iast Saturday she started a Health Center in Winterville. She told me they were going to start a Health Center next week in East Ath* ens. And in giving a dollar last Decem ber to help finance this undertaking, I feel that you made a good invest ment. Don’t you’ • The Southern Division of the Red Cross has placed seventy-four public health nurses in the five states of North and South Carolina, Tenressee, Georgia and Florida. A successful Fourth Roll Call wilj make it possible to continue the work of these nurree and to add to them many others for similar service throughout the dlf^ Sion.

Dear Sir:— I have noticed in the Brevard News your very generous treatment of the American Red Cross in printing news of what the Red Cross is doing. While many neWspapers have given space for the work of the American Red Cross, the Brevard News has been particularly generous. It would be presumptuous for me to thank you on behalf of the Amer ican Red Cross, becai^e I could not speak for the Red Cross, but will you allow me to express to you my per sonal appreciation of the favors that you have shown this organization and assure you that your generosity (for I ^how what white paper costs and what printing costs are) in giving so freely of your space to the Red Cross is appifeciated and I can as sure you that the members of the American Red Cross feel the same way that I do about it. I hesitate to write this letter, be cause I know that it is your Red Cross as well as mine, but I do want to express to you the appreciation of those of us at Headquarters and as sure you that if at any time we can be of service to you, you have but to call on us. 1 am, Yours very truly, LEGARE DAVIS, Assistant Manager, Southern Division REPUBLICAN PARTY SWEEPS TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY of the twenty-five Rod Cr.oss public i “When the frost is on the pump-' communty spirit aliv^ in the first j There s a good chance for anyone t I j?GStiV0 SQGH6S> iMalth nurses nineteen wej^ sup-port-' jjjn and the fodders in the shock, place.

At a very early hour on Tuesday morning a stream of the new voters (the fair sex) were in line stretch ing from the public library to the polls idnd on the V opposite side stretching from Macfie’s comer stood the old' timers. Never before has Transyl vania shown as much interest in any election and ■ for hours the voters of both sexes waited patiently to cast their ballots. It is reported on good authority that Mrs. Cos Paxton cast the first Democratic vote and that- Mrs. C. B. Deaver was the very first woman in Transylvania County, or at least in Brevard Township to ever cast a ballot. There .was very little excitement, but much interest and the men of old Transylvania prooved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the ladies would have nothing to fear because of any ungentlemanly conduct. There was no (bug juice) in sight. The Republican party carried the County by an overwhelming majority and elected all their candidates with the exception oi^ “Tude” Stamey who had, no opposition for the office of Canstable of Brevard Township. \ The State of North Carolina went Democratic by approximately 78,000 maj|rity and all State Democratic candidates were elected. Zebulon Weaver, candidate for Congress in the 10th district has been elected ac cording to unofficial returns. The Democrats swept Buncombe County. All amendments were carried. The returns indicate that Harding and Coolidge have been elected by one of the greatest land-slides ever known in the history of the nation. The County candidates who have en elected by over 100 majority are: Representative: Ralph R., Fisher; Sherjflf and Tax Collector: W. E. Shipman; Register of Deeds: Roland Owen; County Treasurer: Ulys Mer rill; Surveyor: Della Grimshav/e; Coroner: Dr. E. L. English; County Commissioneira: R. M. Hawkins, L. R. Scruggs, J. Goleman Owen.
