SPRING (Jessie Lee Banther, 3rd Grade, Tox away SchooL) The spring is coming very soon, And oh! the flowers will be in bloom, And all the birds return to sing To keep us happy all the spring. The forget-me-nots will be so blue, So shiny as the morning dew, And all the children shout with joys, It brings good cheer to girls and boys. The Oriole will hang her nest Where other birds will never rest, She will sing and tell us all the day, She is not going to fly away. If all the people loved the spring as I do, I am sure they would always be true, And every one would have a part In spring I love with all my heart.

Clement, The Hallmark Jeweler CLEMSON THEATRE BUILDING RED CIIOSS CHAPTERS STRENGTHEN FORCES FOR DISASTER RELIEF Launch National Campaign to Perfect Preparedness Plans in Every Community. A nation-wide campaign to strength en plans for preparedness against dis aster and for emergency relief lias been launched by the American Red Cross through its Chapters. The pro gram is intended to perfect disaster preparedness committees in the ten thousand communities reached by Red Cross Chapters and their branches. When carried out, through commit tees of men and women in the com munities, it will insure that should a disaster come, an organization for emergency relief, including every modern method science has perfected ? such as the radio, the airplane, the motor car and watercraft ? can be mobilized to bring assistance, with the promptitude applied by the Red Cross In recent major disasters, such as the West Indies hurricane and the Mississippi Valley flood. These enlarged and strengthened plans for disaster relief are set forth in the revised Red Cross manual, "When Disaster Strikes," which has been placed in the hands of every Red Cross chairman throughout the nation. The plan to encourage adoption of these added disaster preparedness methods was begun at this time be cause Red Cross records? covering 48 years of disaster relief ? show that the period of the greatest number of disasters, large and small, ranges from the early Spring through the early Fall. * .. 7hs Hccord of 48 Years A historical summary of Red Cross diss3ter relief since 1882, shows that the society was active in giving re lief in 938 domestic disasters and its expenditures in those relief operations were 149,594,000. The three groups of calamities appearing most frequent ly were: cyclones, tornadoes, hurri canes and other storms, 231; fires, 131; floods, 126. During this period, the Red Cross also has given assistance to distressed peoples of other countries In 153 dis asters. Total expenditures for relief at home and throughout the world, la 48 years, amount to $77,354,000. In the four most recent major dis asters, among the greatest which have ever visited the American con tinent, Red Cross expenditures for re lief totalled $29,188,908. Only in the event of large disasters such as the Florida hurricane of 1926, the Mis sissippi Valley flood of 1927, the New England flood of the same Fall, and the West Indies hurricane of 192S, does the Red Cross seek contributions from the general public for relief work; and frequently these are not ample, as in the four disasters listed, the Red Cross donated $1,338,201 from its own treasury to aid in the work. In the event of smaller disas ters, the cost of the relief Is met largely from Red Cross resources. ? No Community Immune No community is immune to great disasters of one type or another, the manual shows. One preparedness measure that can be adopted 1b a sur vey of the surrounding country, with the assistance of engineers and other experts to determine the type of dis aster to which the section is subject. . Hazards resulting from the presence of rivers and lakes, subject to over flow, of mines, munition factories, and other industries wherein dangers from explosion and fires may exist, are singled out for consideration. Extension of existing disaster or- ^ ganlzations in communities, and or ganisation of men and women, trained in piblic health and community ser vice, will result in the saving of lives and the prevention of extensive suffer ing, through privation, epidemic and other misfortune, should emergency arise through disaster. These organ ization plans, outlined in the manual, are similar to those now existing in most Red Cross Chapters, only strengthened In some particulars. They contemplate disaster prepared ness and relief committees, under which function sub-committees on food, clothing, shelter, medical aid. registration of disaster sufferers and information service, transportation End communication and flnancc. Co-ordination of all of the nocietiei, organized groups and institutions In the locality is urged, so that all effort for emergency relief will be directed without conflict. Trained in advance, these committees can swing into ac tion, and provide an orderly and sys tematic relief organization. The following are expenditures made by the American National Red Cross for relief in the four most reoent major disasters: Florida hurricane, 1926 $4,477,170.07 Mississippi Valley flood, 1927 17,498,902.11 New England flood, 1927 1,299,773.91 Wut Indies hurri cane, 1918 5,913,012.47 $29,188,908.1$ EGERTON SAYS FISHING I IS FINE IN FLORIDA] B.
