26 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOV. 12, 1921 49 RED CROSS NURSES IN STATE 'Has Strong Public Health Nursing Program. ITH 49 Red Cross Public Health nurses pro- moting better living conditions in con- nection with the other activities of the 126 Chapters of the American Red Cross here in 1llinois the importance of the work is of unusual interest. The rural program has been found well adapted to this state, and many localities have been reached by this department of activity during the past year for the first time. Physical in- spection of the children in the rural schools is one of the most important phases of this work. They are in- spected for defective teeth, eyesight, and hearing. Weighing and measur- ing are a part of this health program, and frequent nutrition classes are or- ganized to help under-nourished chil- dren reach a normal development. Public Health nurses frequently have adult classes in Home Hygiene as well as classes in the schools, there- by extending their services beyond routine of school inspection. During the past year 2,541 women have passed the examinations and received certifi- cates in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick given by Red Cross instruc- tors. Different problems exist in the cities, where the dangers of contagion and the need of intensive health edu- cation are greater. In addition to the physical inspection of school children, the organizing of clinics and the in- vestigation of home conditions, there is much "follow up" work to be done. Through the co-operation of the teach- ers, minor defects which tend to re- tard school children mentally as well as physically are detected and cor- rected in the clinics. In both city and country commu- nities the Red Cross has a clearly de- fined program which may be adapted to local needs. That 23 Chapters since last year have realized the need of this work and extended their program to include this very practical activity proves the growing appreciation for this endeavor. On Armistice Day--November 11-- the annual Roll Call of the Red Cross will be launched Membership dollars will enable the Red Cross not only to carry on the valuable service it is already rendering, but expand the work to reach a wider field.

People of the United States will be afforded an opportunity during the week of November 7th to 12th to ex- press in concrete form their gratitude to those men and women, who through sunshine and rain, prosperity and ad- versity, persistently and consistently sing the song of the home town. The time long since passed when newspa- pers, whether daily or weekly, can sub- sist on the "taking it for granted" spirit of its patrons and well wishers. Costs of producing newspapers today have not decreased in anything like the proportion experienced in other lines and figures quoted recently by daily and weekly newspapers through the country have given the public a glimpse into the expense incidental to conducting the home paper, To the newspaper men and women of each community has fallen the task of presenting the current events of a fast-moving world in accordance with the modern ideas, more or less extrava- gant, and keeping a smiling counte- nance and a courageous heart when others are prone to talk "hard times." Their loyalty to the state and their community has undergone a severe test but they met it with optimism and only a little reflection is required to show how much worse conditions might have been before the turn in the road was reached, had they pursued a differ- ent course. Advertisers had to keep advertising whether they could pay promptly or not and business had to be kept go- ing for the general good. The pub- lishers and editors did their part and the second week in November is pro- claimed a time when those who bene- fited by this policy can express it in terms of support that will insure the future of the small town paper, the backhone of every community that nas the semblance of pride in itself and its neighbors.--Sioux City Argus- F.eader.

But there has been a common meeting ground for all in the home town paper. It has chronicled the activities of the village and of the farms and of the cross roads. It has told of the visits of the village banker and his family and of the farmer and his family, of the new pavement in the village and the improved highway in the country. No publication ever was more entitled to be called "a slice of life" of the people than the home town paper. Week after week, year after year, it has ministered to the natural craving for the homely, in- timate news of the countryside, the kind of news which no big city paper can furnish. Now the country newspaper is to have a "week" all its own. Jhe thou- sands of country papers the nation over have got together to observe Subscribe for your home town paper week" November 7-12.
