From 1935 to 1938, consumption was less than 2Vi pounds for each person.

To add to the hazards of navigation there are many reefs. Nature, however, balanced these hazards with the good shelter and holding ground in Shortland harbor. Within the harbor is the Island of Faisi, from which public affairs were administered under the British protectorate. Faisi was one of the leading ports of the Solomons. It had a 150- foot wharf, with water 18 feet deep alongside. Settlements on Shortland are small and .scattered. Coconut plantations were well developed on •ome of the islands and production of copra was the chief source of employment. A British steamship company maintained a branch office and storage facilities on Faisi.

Fourteen members of the local branch of the Red Cross journeyed to j the county meeting- of Red Cross j workers in Woodstock last week, and i were more than inspired to hear the j various speakers who gave their re- J ports. Mrs. Laurence opened the j meeting in her usual charming man-: ! ner, with a Salute to the Flag. This j' ; was followed by a chorus of high j j school students, who rendered "This' | Is My Country," in a very fine manner. Roll call was taken and then an educational movie production presented. Mrs. English presented certificates to nurses' aides, and also j made an urgent plea for applicants. A 'style show took place, models pre-! ! senting various costumes designed j and a s s e m b l e d by v a r i o u s members of! the county branches who are taking ! the sewing courses. The model who j seemed the most popular was a little toddler who appeared in a costume, | : sunbonnet and dress, of •, ever-srlaze | j chintz. The high light of the after- j ] noon was the talk given by Mrs. Marie ! Zander, a former professional re-; v i e w e r , who has v o l u n t e e r e d h e r ; services in Red Cross through the j medium of the Speakers' Bureau. Her | subject was "The History of the Red j Cross." Mrs. Zander explained the Red : Cross is international in scope. I Among some of the facts listed in her i report are the fololwing: . I Surgical dressings made in the United States in fourteen months,: 520 000,000. Staff assistants' contri- J bution in hours of work, 18,000. In Mrs. Zander's ;estfmation, the! branches, in order of . importance, are ias follows: Production, Nurses', Aides, Grey Ladies, Canteen. Motor i Corps, Staff Assistants. Speakers \ Bureau, 'Home Service Corps, Field j Directors and Mobile Units. Mrs. Zander explained the method \ •>f sending American prisoners of war ! i concentrated foods, which reach pris-1 oners twice a month. Headquarters j for assembling such packages through- j out the country are Philadelphia, New j York and C h i c a t r o . The Chicago a d - | 'dress is 349 West Ontario street. j B'ood Plasma came next in her talk, j | She, Mrs. Zander, brought to light the | | fact that the plasma donated by some j modern miracle, is effective anywhere j i from six months to six years. Five thousand pints per week is the allot- I ment that the Chicago area must | bring in. Appointments must be made I about ten days in advance. As Mrs. Laurence said, it was a privilege to hear the speaker, and we say it was an inspiration, too. Some of us came away with the idea that »veryfhing must be rut aside except Red Cross work. That MUST come FIRST. It is pretty hard going sometimes, but it isn't anything to what our men in service are giving and if we can't do anything else, Buy a War Bond or Stamps. The parties, at Camp Grant were explained, ana Mrs. Laurence referrred to them as great morale boosters, and made a plea for our supporting them. The afternoon closed with a social hour, tea being served fcy the Woodstock canteen, fropi a beautifully apr pointed table. It is so very urgent that the women of McHenry keep up the fine record tl ey have already made, but we must work harder and harder, and tirelessly. There is so much to be done.
