The first edition will be sent out around Hallowe'en. The seniors are already work ing toward their much talked about trip to Washington, and are having good results so far. We are hoping to have enough money raised when it comes time to go, to go on to New York. We think that would be a wonderful trip, so why don’t you help support the seniors?

RX Bulletin Suggests Care Methods In Flu With a number of flu cases be ing reported this season through out the country, a bulletin has been issued by the Red Cross re garding symptoms and care upon onslaught of such illness. Symptoms are of sudden onset, the bulletin states, with fever up t" 10'! or 104 degrees, headache, muscular soreness, discomfort, and sometir < - sore throat or cough. Length of the illness runs from three to ’i\■■ days, with a period of 10 days to two weeks in which the patient feels week. Suggested home care is: “Re port illness lo physician; keep pa tient. in bed, isolated from persons with colds or sore throat; plenty of fluids while the fever lasts (at least one quart a day), and a cool ing compress to the head to com fort patient, but avoid chilling. Serve patients a soft diet.” The material also emphasizes that the very young, the very old, and those with chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, tuberculosis, should avoid exposure to the dis ease and be placed under the care of a physician immediately if ill. Just in case flu should strike the home, the Medical Department of the Equitable Life Assurance Society suggests that now is a good time to stand back and take a look at the routine of your house hold while the family is well. A suggestion is made by the society's medical director that you inspect your supplies and equip ment with an eye to noting such matters as these: Do you have on hand the right kind of supplies to ease your task if you should have to care for a sick child or adult ? These should not only make the sick person more comfortable, but should also he calculated to keep the patient comfortably in bed and therefore probably less apt to de velop complications. As to kitchen supplies: “Can your storage items feed your pa tient the proper foods from the first day right on through a week or-ten-day illness? Maybe you’ll want to add a supply of canned and dried foods, soups and boul lions, fruits and juices, desserts and cereals, canned or dried milk, frozen foods—all calculated to give the family, as well as the patient, a quick, simple, adequate meal. Paper bags, saved from current purchases, make good waste con tainers for the sickroom; trays or a wheeled table save steps; so do juice jars for bedside drinking use of a big supply of liquids. Check your supplies of soaps or detergents; your linen closet for sheets and towels; medicine cab inet. for thermometer and rubbing alcohol and maybe a good safe vaporizer. Plenty of pajamas or gowns on hand? Toys and books of the sort to keep a child quiet and happy in bed ? The health director of the com pany also reminds that a check in advance may be a good idea to have ready the names of all house hold supply sources to whom you may need to turn if you should be housebound in any kind of illness. • RENT IT — CLASSIFIEDS! • Poet's Corner Conducted by Anne K. Sharp, Chairman Creative Writing Group WALK WITH CHRIST Oh! the bitter pain and sorrow, As we walk the path of life today, Would he vanished on the morrow, If we would take Christ in our lives to stay. Walk with Christ along the way, He will never say you nay, He will guide and keep you alway, In the straight and narrow way. Walk with Christ, what ere betide, He will always be your guide, Though the path be dark and dreary, Never falter or be weary. Christ will guide you to that shore, Where we will meet to part no more, Where our loved ones will be waiting, There to welcome us, forever more. .
