ment. disaster or other misfortune.
A major relief task, due to unem
ployment and oti.er unusual conditions
in the bituminous mining counties In
twenty states, was met by the Red
Cross chapters alone, or participating
with other agencies. In these 143 coun
ties. the Red Cross sided 80.000 fami

lunches, clothing, flour and other ne
cessities to combat privation.
Flour, milled from government wheat
turned over to the Red Cross by Con
gress. was given to 15.000.u00 persons
In the period from March 8 to Jane JO.

continue to be given through the win
ter of 1932-23. and Rod Cross chapters

from government cotton turned over

winter since the days of the World
» War." Chairman John Barton Payne

one of the 3,072 counties In tne United
States, and will cooperate with all
agencies to men: distress wherever

I ROBIN ARRIVES TO UPSET
PAST RECORDS
j Miss Fannie Virginia McClure,
' who has been a bird fancier for many
years and was the first person in
Milledgeville to build a bird bath to
j attract birds to her yard, heard a
robin calling Sunday afternoon »md
he couldn’t believe her ears. She
! went to the tree ifnmi which the call
came nnd she found the red-breast
perched on a limb. She called Dr.
Hall to see if he had seen a Robin
| about and the Doctor said one had
' been in the yard for about two
j weeks. This is most unusual because
I Robins are hibernating birds and
1 come through in the fall and spring
l enroute north and south and never
! remain here in the summer.
LONNIE MINOR HOLE IN ONE

letter:
“I started taking Kruschen Salts
because of the good it had done
I for a friend of mine who had been
crippled with rheumatism. At the
I end of the second bottle I was
! weighed and find I am now only 148
I pounds (original weight 163 lbs.)
at which 1 am so pleased- But I have
also felt my rheumatism much less,
which has been so troublesome in
my knees. I must say I think Krus

Gone from earth to heaven
One we loved so dear,
Leaving behind her, footprints,
Made on earth while here.
Loved ones will miss her.
Weeping evermore;
But we know that God has met her
On yonder distant shore
No pain and sorrow greet her
In that distant land;
But there she abides forever,
Upheld by an everlasting hand.
