Student council members were
present a t a district meeting of high
school
representatives
from
20
schools meeting in Pendleton
last
Friday fo r a conference. 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

be resumed Tuesday,

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 firs t four grades are
presenting the program which is en
titled
“ Susanna’s Christmas Auc

‘Word Blindness’ Cause
Of Traffic Violation
LONDON.—An affliction known as
“ word blindness’’ has come to light
through the case of a 16-year-old
cyclist who was fined at Crown Hill,
Devon, for disobeying a halt sign.
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.

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.
