Another Opportunity to Give
Now that the 4th War Loan campaign is taper
ing off there is time to give consideration to the
next wartime financial problem the American
Red Cross membership drive. This newest carrK
paign is scheduled to start March 1. And perhaps
you have surmised ere this that we have been
asked to increase our subscription, speaking of the
county as a whole. Whereas the quota last year
was $2200 and this county subscribed $2700, we
are asked to contribute $3600 this time. That is in
proportion to the national quota, which has been
, raised from $125,000,000 last year to $200,000,
000 this year.
Perhaps someone will ask why such a raise.
The answer is that the activities of the Red Cross
have been increased to that extent. The society is
operating on fifty-two fronts in far-flung corners
of the globe. Maintenance of canteens in or near
battle areas where your boy,or girl may taste a
bit of home life such as the Red Cross is able to
provide; wrapping and mailing food packages to
our boys who are prisoners of war about 1,125,
000 in the 1941-42 period and better than 3,000,
000 packages in the 1943-44 period; maintaining
other types of services to help the people in ser
vice who need help these and other things not
readily called to mind are some of the reasons
why the Red Cross needs more money this year.
It must be apparent to most of us that our one
big job is to finance this war. We may wish to do
other things with our money, but until victory is
won and our fighting forces are home again there
is but one thing to do and that is to see that they
have the things needed to bring about victory, in
cluding as many comforts as money will provide.
Right now it is the Red Cross's turn. Let's put it
over without a lot of ballyhoo.
O
Not City's Obligation
City government, to a large measure, is respon
sible for garbage and trash disposal, but after
making arrangements for such disposal in the
form of providing a dump ground, the responsibil
ity ceases. From there on it is the citizen's respon
sibilitymeaning, of course, that the individual,
if he wishes to make use of the dump ground, '
must either haul his garbage and trash or employ
someone to do it for him.
It has been reported to this newspaper that
some of the citizens blithely hire their trash haul
ed to the dump ground and when the drayman

goes to collect for his services is just as blithely
told that the city is paying for the hauling. Per
haps the idea springs from the fact that occas
ionally the city hauls or pays for the hauling of
trash during a general clean-up. This usually is
done under the proviso that the property owner
collects his trash in suitable containers and places
the containers at a convenient spot to be picked
up by conveyances employed for the occasion.
When that job of hauling is done the city's obli
gation to the individual ceases.
As a resut of the trickery worked on the truck
ers it is difficult for others who desire to pay for
the hauling service to get that service. The truck
ers should report such cases to the city authori
ties so they can call the perpetrators on the car
pet, as it were.
men (and some men too, for that
matter) in the Red Cross home
nursing classes. The situation as
to doctors and registered nurses
will grow progressively worse to
wards the end of the war and the
home folks will be thrown more
and more upon their own resour
ces. Disaster may be averted by
taking a course of training which
will require but a short time.

Care of HezUh Highly Essential
Home nursing courses should have a strong ap
peal to our people in these days of war. It 'is un
necessary to cite the fact that doctors are scarce
due to the needs of the armed forces and if the
few physicians remaining at home are to carry on
for the duration it will be necessary to give them
all possible cooperation.
At a recent home nursing conference in Pen
dleton, the demonstrating nurse stressed the need
of such training, citing a current epidemic of flu
as a good reason for being prepared in the home
to meet such emergencies. It is at such times
doctors have more calls than they can answer and
many times unnecessary calls are made, although
when one is suffering from influenza in one form
or another it is a boost to thb morale to see the
doctor entering the room. It is the opinion of med
ical authorities that many deaths resulting from
pneumonia following influenza might have been
saved had someone in the home taken a course in
home nursing. Infantile paralysis cases make a
better and more rapid recovery in homes where
mothers have taken the home nursing course.
Records kept on influenza epidemics reveal
that they usually run over a period of years. In
the first world war cases were reported in Euro
pean countries in 1915. The following year the
malady had spread, expanding still more in 1917
and then in 1918 the real epidemic struck. There
has never been a war that has not been followed
by some epidemic.
With this information to go by, there should be
little difficulty in enrolling large classes of wo-
