Directing attention to the heavy ex •penditures by tbe Red Cross during tbe past year, and* to tbe fact that the organization was called upon foi assistance in 120 disasters in tbe United States and its insular posses sions. Judge John Barton Payne, the chairman, said: "The Red Cross is a volunteer so clety, supported by its membership and belongs to all of tbe citizens While it is a semi-governmental agency in that tbe President of thr United States is its president, and one third of its governing board are rep resentatlves of Government depart ments, yet it receives no financial sop port from tbe Government. “Funds for our work for war vet erana and tbelr- families, for carrying on disaster relief, for our varied health activities, tbe life saving and first aid work and our many other ac tivities, all are derived from tbe mem bersbip fee. Tbe public is asked only once each year—at tbe Annual Roll Call—to Join in this support of tbe Red Cross.” Tbe Red Cross expended an aver age of $936,000 per year in the past seven years, in disaster relief work from its own treasury, statements show. The work for world war vet erans also has caused heavy expendl tures. Spartanburg Minister Says Members of Church Have No More Urgent Duty. Spartanburg^ Nov. 2.—Presbyterians I of South Carolina “have no duty more [urgent” than the bringing to a suc- jcessful conclusion of the Presbyterian [college $350,000 program of deliver ance now under way. I That was the message issued here 'today by Rev. Henry Wade DuBose, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Spartanburg and a leading figure in the synod of South Carolina. I Dr. DuBose referred to the cam paign 'as an undertaking “that w'ill test the mettle and church loyalty of all of us,” and asserted “the program will determine whether or not the Presbyterians of South Carolina are I intelligently concerned about the fu- jture leadership of the church.” i The clergyman referred to Presby- .terian college as the “cornerstone of 'Presbyterian education for an impor tant group of Southeastern states,” continuing with the statement that “once delivered from its burdensome debt, the college is assured of suffici ent endowment to guarantee its fu ture security and progress.” I The statement by Dr. DuBose was [issued in connection with the cam- ipaign to raise $350,1)00 to liquidate the college debt. The program pro gressed well this week with the com- ipletion of the list of church chairmen land the formation of church commit tees in more than half the churches of the synod.

ROSS D. YOUNG, 10-31-tf County Treasurer. Society Employs Rural Public Health Nurses—Teaches First Aid and Life Saving. $15.96 The Average Weekly Wage A comprehensive, nation-wide pro^ I gram to prevent Illness, and to save ^ lives through proper nursing care and j advanced methods of life saving and first aid is fostered by the American Red Cross.

Tbe Red Cross health and life sav Ing campaign embraces the following: preservation of hMtth through skilled narsfng care: prevention of loss of life in accidents: prevention of Illness through cleanliness In ths home and knowledge of methods of home care of the sick and raising'the standard of health and physical efficiency through proper nutrition. During tbe year Just closed. mor« than 42.000 certificates have been is sued in the Red Cross course In Home Hygiene and Care of tbe Sick, and Of the South Carolina Cotton Mill Operative The wage of the operative has been a much discussed subject for sev eral jnonths. Figures reported to be authentic, and inferences supposed to be based on facts, have left the unfortunate impression that the average cotton mill operative is underpaid. It is an impression, however, that leads to conclusions that are incorrect. To determine positively and accurately the weekly wage of the opera tive in South Carolina, a careful investigation has been made with a group of representative, separately located mills • (mostly print cloth manufac turers) of the state. What is true with this group of average mills will be quite generally true throughout the state, for South Carolina is one of the largest manufacturers of print cloths. The 21 mills included in'the investi gation are: »loe« th9 epunes were inaagurated more tbaa 699,900'perwna h»ve-t>^ep taught: 149.000 cbtldreo were iaetruet ed In proper eating through the Nn trition course: 46.898 individuals passed the severe-Red Cross tests in Life Saving and 52.596 persons passed the rigid examinations in the Ftrs* Aid Coarse.

Y Dunean Mills, Greenville SIX MILLION CHILDREN ' IN JUNIOR RED CROSS These mills combined have an average weekly payroll of $201,224.55 distributed among 15,997 operatives (including part time workers). It would appear that the average wage would be $12.58 per week. The 15,997 operatives carried on the payrolls, however, represent a surplus of 3,392 more operatives than are needed to fully man the mills. The excess number is carried because many cotton mill operatives work only on a part time basis; some for an hour or so each day and others more.

' The American Juniors sent 86,000 Christmse boxes of small gifts to children of many nations last year. The American Junior Red Cross gained 849,171 In membership last year. An estimate of average wage, therefore, which includes the wages of part time workers is misleading. The only accurate average is one that is based on total regular help required to run the mill upon a full time basis. Eliminating the part time worker, the story is far different. The 21 mills listed above need to employ but 12,605 regular full time workers, paying the regular workers— An Average Weekly Wage of $15.% (These figures do not include superintendents, office help or executives. The figures do include all operatives required in the manufacture of cloth, including even the unskilled, lowest paid laborers. The figures arc actual and based on three consecutive weeks in September, 1929.) These authentic facts, presented above for the first time, give a com plete picture and a fair one. Fifty-one nations belong to the League of Red Cross Societies, and arc prepared to carry on health, dls- aatar relief and life aavlng programe all around the world.
