county to hold a joint installation
in Lexington hall on Saturday eve

The grange, sponsors for the local
Boy Scout troop, voted to present
a silver loving cup to the Boy Scout
who has the most outstanding rec
ord of achievement for the year.
George Peck, Harry Dinges and
Harry Schriever are on the Boy
Scout committee.

will be held on Wednesday evening,
November 21st, for the purpose of
exemplifying the third and fourth
degrees to a large class of candi

The annual Red Cross drive is
under way in this city with Miss
Dona E. Barnett as chairman of the
local committee. Mrs. Elsie M.
Beach and Mrs. Bertha Dinges are
the other members of the com
mittee. Lexington's quota this year
is twenty-five members and the
drive, which opened on Armistice
day, will continue until Thanksgiv
ing. The committee will be glad to
have those desiring memberships
to respond during this time as it is
hoped that the response will be
largely voluntary so that a house-to-house

sary. Those desiring memberships
will probably be interested in know

received is retained by the local
unit for work in this community.

Eternal Vigilance Required in Fight
Against All of Childhood's Epidemics
Mother brings baby to the clinic where he is weighed and inspected for hidden defects by Red Cross nurse; the
nurse on her dally rounds Inspects a little t who is "feeling badly."
DIPHTHERIA that dread epi
demic of childhood two decades
ago has almost been conquered,
medical authorities inform us. Eter
nal vigilance Btlll is practised
against the disease, through immuni
zation campaigns, and the world of
medicine hopes that ultimately the
dread plague will be as extinct as
the yellow fever epidemics of the
nineteenth century.
The American Red Cross played a
major part in the eradication of both.
As long ago as the 1880s a young
Red Cross nurse Jane Delano led
a corps of women nurses in the bat
tles against yellow fever in the
South. Today she is revered as
America's Florence Nightingale,
both because of her early exploits
and because of her outstanding lead
ership as a World War nurse a
cause in which she sacrificed her life.
Red Cross nurses by the thousands
have worked in the diphtheria eradi
cation campaigns through assisting
doctors in giving Immunizations to
school children. They first entered
this work twenty years ago and still
are carrying on in many hundreds
of communities.
Epidemics of measles, whooping
cough, scarlet fever and other ills
considered minor evils by many still
sweep our schools. Public health au
thorities and the nurse know that
these should not be permitted, be
cause any or all may leave weak
nesses. The nurse is alert against in
fantile paralysis, which annually
presents a problem in some section
of the country. Against all of these
the healthy, well-nourished child
stands the best chance.
Child health preservation is a
major program of the American Red
Cross. How important the work of
the nurse is in this respect may be
Judged from the fact that during the
last twelve-month period Red Cross
nurses inspected 629,000 school chil
dren and of this number found 361,
000 with physical defects of varying
degrees which had to be corrected
if normal health were to be main
tained. Following the World War the Red
Cross undertook the task of showing
rural communities and smaller cities
the value of the visiting nurse a
lesson already appreciated by many
larger cities. Hundreds of nursing
services were established and proved
their value to the taxpayers, thus
becoming publicly supported institu
tions. Many services continued under
the auspices of the Red Cross, and
today there are more than 750 Red
Cross nurses still making their daily
rounds carrying their vital knowl
edge of good health habits to
mothers and children.
During the past year these nurses
made more than a million visits to
or in behalf of the sick. There is still
a broad field where the public health
nurse is unknown. That there is no
more appealing service to which
funds may be devoted was illustrated
a few months ago when Will Rogers,
the noted comedian, desiring to do
some public service but not for
public acclaim gave the Red Cross
125,000 with which to send public
health nurses into communities
without funds for this purpose.
One of the most effective weapons
against the inevitable toll of child
hood's ills and epidemics which the
depression-years are visiting upon
the country, is wielded by the Red
Cross nurse in her constant visits in
the communities where she is em
ployed. The work of these Red Cross
nurses is supported through the an
nual roll call for members Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving. Every man
and woman who joins is aiding in
the campaign to keep children
healthy.

Have You Appreciated Reading
The
Heppner Gazette Times
WE HOPE YOU HAVE. It has been our endeavor to
keep the paper as readable and interesting as possible through
the past months of trying financial stringency. The condition
of the times has made it impossible to keep the paper up to the
standard to which we would have liked to keep it. The paper
has not reflected all the business and social life of the commu
nity but it has attempted at all times to keep before its read
ers those things of vital local interest and importance which it
was possble for it to present.
In these trying months we have shared with our readers
the necessity of curtailing expenses to a minimum in an at
tempt to keep things going. We have been called upon to ex
tend credit in so many instances that we practically have been
forced from a "pay-in-advance" basis for payment of sub
scriptions. We have been glad to comply with the request to
"keep the paper going," although to do so has strained our
own credit.
It would be greatly appreciated if those who can now do
so, would take care of their subscription arrearage and make
their desires known as to receiving the paper in the future. We
have no desire to "force" the paper upon anyone, but contin
ued acceptance can only mean to us recognition by the sub
scriber of his obligation.
