Chm. Publicity, Cobb County Chapter
“Something clearer than the bugle
sounds the call of duty in the hearts
of the true lovers of America. Peace
changes the nature of the meed; it
does not alter the obligation to serve.”
The Christmas Roll Call
It would seem a long time ahead
to call the attention of the workers
of the Cobb County Chapter to the
work to be done at the time of the
Christmas Roll Call, but it is impor
tant for the Branches in the County
to form plans, select comittees and to
arrange for proper publicity work in
order that the membership of the
County will be increased when the
time for enrolling arrives—November
2 to 11,
Executive Board Meeting
The Executive Board meeting for
September will be held on Friday Gsth,
at the home of the vice.chairman,
Mrs. John M. Graham, 204 TForest
Avenue at4p.m.
E-very member of the board is urged
to attend. :
Business of importance to every
branch, as well as that of the Chap
ter generaly will come up for action.
One thing the Red Cross Depart
ment of Civilian Relief is doing these
days is to see that every crippled
soldier or sailor “gets back into the
game” just as close to his original
self as science can make him—that
ig the idea of the government.
The government provides for the
fitting, replacing, and keeping in re
pair of every artificial limb or appli
ance required by its crippled fighters,
and the Red Cross is helping to see
that all who need these things apply
to Uncle Sam for them.
The excellence of these artificial
adjuncts to the human body is re
markable. Miss Mary Ann Abel, of
the Southern Division headquarters,
attended a baseball game in Wash
ington recently in which every mem
ber of both teams had lost either a
leg or an arm—angd it was 8 good,
close, hard-fought game of ball, too.
The increasing scope of the Home
Southern division_is indicated by the
Service section of the Red Cross,
report of the Bureau of After-the for
July, showing in that month 731 dis
abled soldiers referred by that bureau
to the Home Service section for care
and attention. Of this number, 121
were tuberculosis cases, bringing the
total in that class of disability to
2,839 to date. The other 614 cases
were for other types of disability;
from wounds, shell shock, and various
types of breaking health. In all, the
number referred through the bureau
to date is 4,854.
The work of the Home Section in
cludes not only looking after the dis
abled soldier himself—seeing that his
medical treatment is continued, if
need be; that his financial compensa
tion is properly adjusted; and that he
is afforded vocational training_ if de
sired. It also includes looking after
the families of these men where such
care is needed.
Lists of men discharged because of
disability from any camp or hospital
i nthe Southern Division are now sent
directly to the Bureau of After-care
at the Division headquarters in Atlan
ta, instead of coming through national
headquarters, and much time thus is
saved in reaching the men and their
families. All the Red Cross agencies
are instructed to give this work pre
ferred attention, and the Home Ser
vice section is being more and more
called on in such cases.
Among all the service flags flown
in America in the past two years, one
flag is unique. Upon it burns a single
star of blue; the others are all gold,
198 of them.
This flag hangs in the marble build
ing of the American Red Cross na
tional headquarters in Washington.
The single blue star represents the
-19,877 Red Cross nurses in active duty
with the army and navy nurse corps
and the Red Cross during the war.
The gold stars represent the Red
Cross dead.
The first two were sewn on the flag
in memory of Mrs. Edith B. Ayres and
Miss Helen Burnett Wood, of Chicago,
both of whom were killed by the ex
plosion of a defective shell on the
Steamship Mongolia in May, 1917,
while on their way to France.
The last star on the flag is for Jane
A. Delano, the “Florence Nightingale
of the war,” who directed the Amer
jcan Red Cross Nursing Service and
sleens todav with the American dead
in the military cemetery at Savenay,
France.
. The other 195 stand for nurses who
rest today in the soils of many lands—
America, England, Belgium, France,
even Germany, where a.white cross
marks the grave of Jessie Baldwin
Summerville, Pa., who was cited fol
extraordinary heroism when her hos
pital was shelled and later, going with
THE MARIETTA JOURNAL
the Army of Occupation, died at Cob
lenz. >
Southern soldiers who are “start
ing life over again” despite such han
dicaps as wooden legs and crippled
arms, are displaying the keenest in
terest in scientific farming, accord
ing t orecords on file in the After
Care Department of the southern di
vision of the American Red Cross. i
It is the province of the After Care
department to act as the mediary be
teen the federal board for vocational
educational training and the crippled
soldiers who want such training, to
seek out the soldiers and show them
their opportunities, to forward their
applications to the board and as far
as possible in every way to stimulate
the reconstruction work.
That the Red Cross is performing
notable service in this connection is
proven by the fact that a large per
centage of applications to thefederal
board have come through Red Cross
channels. In the southern division
more than three hundred soldiers
have been placed in vocational train
ing through the Red Cross in the last
two or three months.
The government offers more than
five hundred different subjects which
a crippled soldier may take, his choice
depending first on his qualifications
and second on his own desires. While
scientific farming seems to be the
favorite choice of southern soldiers,
the Red Cross records show that oth
er subjects are not neglected. Three
ex-soldiérs, one of them a negro,
chose the ministry; others went in for
medicine; one man displayed such tal
ent as an artist that he was sent to
the Chicago Art Institute.
In all their applications there is a
marked demand for “a man’s job,”
no matter what they did before the
‘war. “I used to play a piano in a{
movie house,” wrote one boy. “Now

HARRIS COUNTY HAS A
: TEACHERS ASSISTANT
Hon. Tom Wisdom, County Scheol
Superintendent, has secured the help
of Miss Annie Richardson, of Mul
berry Grove, in county school work
for the coming year. Miss Richard
son has been identified with the edu
cational work of Harris for several
years as principal of Hamilton high
school and later two years in the A.
& M. Colelge at Carollton and is
favorably known to the people of this
section. Aside from her intelectual
qualifications she is very practical and
by her rich experience wil help the
‘teachers over many hard places. She
‘has had a course of Normal training
‘and is numbered with the best edu
cators of the State. Mr. Wisdom has
had a number of letters from various
superintendents setting forth the ad
vantages that a county helper would
be. This is a great stride forward and
we are glad to see old Harris taking
her place in the front rank of pro
gréssive counties. Our schools of the
rural districts have ben very greatly
improved the past few years and this
feature will add greatly, also, to their
advancement. Miss Richardson will
enter on her new duties Sept. Ist.—

VETERAN FROM OKLAHOMA |
WALKS TO THE REUNION
Atlanta, Ga. Sept. I.—Who says
the Confederare veteran isn’t as ~pry
as a youtir ¢f twenty:
Take, for ivstancz Colonel Jack
Hale, who, at the age of ‘4, says he
will walk from his home ir Ada,
Olakhoma, to the Confedera'e reunion
in Atlanta, + cistance of nearly 500
miles.
Colonel Hale is one of the delegates
from Joe Shelby camp of veterans at
Chickasha, Okla., to the national re
union. The Tulsa Daily World says
of this proposed performance:
“Colonel Hale declares he will
leave Ada on the evening of August
28, the closing day of the state re
union. He plans to go via Little Rock
‘Memphis_ Chattanooga and thence on
to Atlanta, and enroute will -v‘lnit
several| scenes where battles were
fought between the blue and the gray,
The veteran expects to be on the road
four weeks.
“Despite the fact that Colonel Hale
is 74 years of age, he is active. He
resides on a farm near Chickashaw
and takes and active part in its man
agement. “I am sure I can make the
trip without exhausting myself phy
sically,” declared Colonel Hale. “If
invited, I will accept rides from auto
mobiles, but I'm not going to ride one
mile on the railroads,” he added.”
A QUEER TOMATO VINE
In the garden of Mary Liza Walker,
a colored woman living on Maple
street in this eity, is a freak in the
way of a tomato plant.
‘lt has grown into a peach tree, and
is bearing fruit much resembling a
peach in size, shape and color.
The fruit grows in clusters; one
cluster on the vine has thirteen toma-‘
toes, one béing much larger than the
‘others, and of the usual tomato shape,
while the rest of the cluster are 'of‘
peach shape.
The vine is a volunteer and Mary!
says she is going to save the seed in‘
hopes that she has found a new and
valuable variety of tomato. }
Here is President Wilson’s Labor
Day message to the people of Ameri
ca:
I am encouraged and gratified by
the progress which is being made in
controlling the cost of living. The
support of the movenment is wide
spread and I confidently look for
substantial results, although I must
counsel patience as well as vigilance,
because such will not come instantly
or without team work.
Let me again emphasize may ap
peal to every citizen of the country
to continue to give his personal sup
port in this matter, and to make it
is active as possible. Let him not
only refrain from doing anything
which at the moment will tend to in
crease the cost of living but let him
do all in his power to increase the
production; and, further than that,
let him at the same time himself eco
nomize in the matter of consumption.
By common action in -this direction
we shal lovercome a danger greater
than the dangers of war.
We will hold steady a situation
which is fraught with possibilities of
‘hardship and suffering to a large part
}of our population; we will enable the
processes of production to overtake
the processes of consumption, and we
will speed the restoration of an ade
quate purchasing power for wages.
I am particularly gratified at the
support which the government’s poli
cy has received from the representa
tives of organized labor, and I earn
estly hope that the workers generally
will emphatically indorse the position
of their leaders and thereby move
with the government instead of
against it in the solution of this great
est domestic problem.
I am calling for as early a date as
practicable for a conference in which
authoritative representatives of labor
and of those who direct labor will
discuss fundamental means of better
ing the whole relationship of capital
and labor and putting the whole ques
tion of wages upon another footing.
WOODROW WILSON.
