cases vaccinated in two weeks. Dr. Creelmsn emphasized the necessity f)! hlvlns vaccinations performed while there was yet time-not after the disease had broken out and mule headway. '

Dr. J. L. Blggar. National Red Cross Commissioner. gave the next address. He praised the work of the Past President. Mr. Justice Hassard. The success of the Society here. if it is due to any one person it is due to the retiring president. and the com- munity owe hiin a deep debt of thanks. ' ’

The Speaks next dealt with the origin of the Red Cross Society. Eight or ten men began it, as the result of one man's observatlonslin time of war. Arid its continuance since has been in large part duo to one man's vision. _

Dr- Blsiar took as instances of re- forms brought about by small grou of volunteers the abolition of slav- ery and the improvement of prisons. It remains for orgsrlizations such as this to point the way to the rem- edy for unbearable conditions. Gov- ernments are often slow w" act in such matters. "

The speske went on to trace the great improvement in military sur- gery and sanitation in the Army Medical services from 1861i till the

resent day. Florence Night! ale ad played a great part in this in er

c

He predicted that people living one hundred years from now would con- sider sanitary and public health con- ditions among us as outrageous as we do those of 1863.

The speaker next stressed the im- parlance of the Public Health Nurse. The practical work of thavisiting nurse is the but mes-use! tlon to the people- irrproper pub health methods. The 192'! lied Cross campaign was very , _f_‘_ 1__f the 1928 campaign was not as much so, it was because the work had not secur- ed its second wind. Also those who had made large contributions in 1027 had not thought that they would be called upon again in i028.

The speaker felt that in the Red Cross we were Justified in making an appeal to tho people. because we need it most. Gui" strong‘ point of appeal is this-that we are devoting our en- eggies to the removing of the causes o deaths. disease and suffering. "We talk about the crippled child. I know one man my own age, who has gone through life a cripple." said the speaker. "I never see him without thinking what unnumbered hours of suffering he had put in throughout his fifty years oi life and all unnec- essarily."

The work of the nurse is nlost da- servlrlg of universal sup rt. and that. together with the w rk which is being clone with tub children. will win the day. Tlie speaker then went on to praise the work of the Junior Red Cross which he illustrated gra- phically by the story of the change in an ill kept, dirty Russian boy in a school of Quebec. who wss changed into one of the neatest and cleanest of scholars.

If we had nothing else to our cred- it. for the whole of the money spent in Red Cross work since the wit. "10

liullor Red Cross work-whereby "h"- dreri throughout 41 coulltrlcfi 8Y8 learning the rules of healthy. 111m- ligent living--would have Justified the expenditure twice over. We should not give too much attention lo scholarly attainments. Give the child a sound healthy body, and the rest will 10l- iow as a matter oi’ course.
