The group discussed the various methods used in handling school activities and those from Hermiston believe there was much gained from the exchange of inform ation and ideas, seeing the idea from the other angle. The group was entertained w ith other delegates a t a banquet in the eve ning and a dance at the E lk ’s club th at night. Those going from H e r miston high w ere V irg in ia W ells, Barbara Moore, A lm a L aird , Bob Jackson, Jesse Moore, Tom Quick and Jim Jackson, a P.G. student. The Christmas holiday school va cation starts a t 3 :3 0 F rid a y, De cember 23, and school activities w ill be resumed Tuesday, January 3. Supt. Kersbergen states th a t if school opened Monday many of the teachers would be forced to break into th eir New Y e a r’s day activities in order to return to Herm iston in time for school Monday, and for that reason school is not starting u n til Tuesday morning. Helium, whose father was a husky with Adm iral Byrd at the South pole, is a regular member of the landing crew for the blimp that soars M iam i’s skies. Picking his fa vorite landing rope, the dog helps pull down the ship after each sight seeing trip. He has assisted in 3,000 landings and he’s only 10 months old. In the realm of British sport, this magnificent Alsatian has taken up cricket, and judging by his alert ness at the wicket, it’s going to be just too bad for the opposing play ers. The grade school w ill present an operetta Thursday, December 22, in the gymnasium, to which the public is invited.

The boy’s father explained that, although the boy was a clever math ematician and could copy writing well, he was unable to read. “ I am just the same,” added the father, “ I can read figures but not words." Such people, an authority at the Institute of Child Psychology ex plained, are “ word blind.*’ They can spell out the letters of a word, but the letters convey nothing to them.

A D E L A ID E , A U S T R A L IA .—Stam p collectors in all parts of the world are taking a sudden interest in Cooper Pedy, the remote South Aus tra lia n opal field, because it has the only underground post office in the world. A ll the prospectors live in rooms dug into the soft earth of the low sandstone hills. The bank also is underground along with the poet office. The demand by philatelists is for envelopes and other m a il cov erings bearing the postmark of the underground Cooper Pedy post of fice.

LEGISLATORS V IS IT Disasters Strike 41 States During Year Red Cross Aids 420,000 Persons Following Catastrophes That the past year has not bean an easy one for the American Red Cross Is shown tn a recent report listing dis asters necessitating Red Cross relief throughout the United States during the past twelve months. The report reveals that 129 domestic disasters called for Red Crose aid tn 247 counties of 41 states, and that assistance was given to 420,000 persons who were disaster victims. "That this has been a very active year is obvious when one compares this year’s operations with the average of 92 disasters requiring Red Cross aid annually for the past IS years,” Chair man Norman H. Davis said In com menting on the Red Cross Disaster Relief Service report These catastrophes Included cloud bursts, cyclones, epidemics, fires, floods, forest fires, hailstorms, mine ex plosions. a school bus accident a ship wreck, tornadoes, typhoons, and wind storms. ’’Disaster relief was the first humani tarian work of the American Red Cross after its organization in 1831,” Mr Davis said. “In the ensuing 67 years the flag of the Red Cross hat flown upon every scene of major disaster tn the United States. The Red Cross has carried relief—food, clothing, shelter, medical aid, rehabilitation of homes and families—to more than 2.200 scenes of disaster at home and abroad, and has expended over 8140.006,000 con- tributed by the American public in this work of mercy.” The Red Cross policies of relief, the national chairman pointed out, have been established over a period of years through actual experience of its work ers in the field. Relief is given on the basis or need of sufferers— not ot losses. Loans, he pointed out. are never made, but relief is a gift from the Red Cross in the name of lta members and contributors to its work. “It would not be possible (or the Red Cross to carry out such widespread relief activities without the help ot thousands of volunteer workers.” Mr. Davis said. “ Volunteers are the main stay of the organization, and in the past year’s work assistance from many cooperating agencies has made it pos sible for us to answer the many calls for help.” While relief was being given to vic tims of natural cataatropbes, tbe Red Cross was not unmindful of the neces sity for preparedness plans to meet emergencies that may arise in any American community. Red Cross chap ters In hundreds of counties have or ganized disaster preparedness commit tees charged with responsibility io map relief plana In advance of need, and to organize resources of communi ties to prevent duplication of effort and waste of materials when calls for help are received. These plans are proving especially advantageous In localities subject to frequent floods, tornadoes, or hurri canes, and actual testa of such plan ning have demonstrated the necessity for such measures. “The administration of such relief for disaster victims is made possible by annual memberships of millions of Americans tn all walks ot Ute.” Mr. Davis pointed o u t “The extent ot Red Cross aid to such sufferers Is entirely dependent upon unselfish sharing on the part ot all of us.” Red Cross Nurses Aid Million Sick Red Cross public health nuraea made more than one million visits to or on behalf of the sick daring the fiscal year 1937-38. The patients live In mountain com munities. on Islands off the coast In isolated ewamp regions, and In crowd ed Industrial sections. Daring the same period the nurses Inspected (69.187 school children for health defects In cooperation with local physicians, and gave Instructions tn home hygiene and care of the sick to 68,764 mothers and yonng girls.
