McArn that the drive will be brought to * successful conclusion within ,a short time, rather than have the citiaens visited ki>uhmodically and making the work long drawn out. Be ready to join and everyone should help to make Kershaw county outstanding in this fine work. $ome of the achievements of the Red Cross work in this county last* year were as followsj Walter Khame was sent to an aquatic schbol at Brevard, N. c;, where he completed a course in life saving and life guard work, and .also in first aid to persons rescued from drowning. This is very important work considering the fact that Kerphuw county is fvrU of ponds and thousands of people swim, every summer, especially children, who must be protected. Mr. Rhame in turn ha* been training others in this fine work and seventeen certificates and emblems have been issued to juniors And seniors as qualified life savers. Another important piece oi work accomplittS? wa8' the furnishing of glnsses ^UPchildren with defective ?xe?i jn ordor ^at they can. improve j their school work. Ex-service men and their families' have Been provided for where necessary. Medicine and food have been distributed to destitute families. o The Red Cross also obtained the' services of p? John Brewer of Kershaw, Dr. Andrew Whitaker and Dy? A W. Humphries, of Caihden, and-in cooperation with fchfe CTWA secured 120 Red Cross first aid books from the National Red Cross headquarters and as a result of the gofid workS: qf these doctors, who held classes to teach men and women in this work, 120 certificates were issued, showing' that the holders are qualified to give first aid to persons needing same. To show the importance of this training, we will all recall the assassination of the French Premier Barthou recently in Marseilles. JHad anyone nearby,?* that time, been available who was trained in first aid work, his. life could have been saved. It was just a question of stopping the flow of blood, bpt no one in an excited crowd wad versed in first aid work. The program for the doming year ! is to carry on-life-saving work, getting as many of our citizens as possible trained in order that they ean qualify as. .life, saven. This-villi probably mean the saving of many lives sometime in thb future. Work will continue among ex-service men and their families, where necessary. Children's eye* will be examined regularly to remedy defects in sight to be fitted with glasses. Classes will be established for teaching home bflkne, care of sick and other things along that line. Nutrition daaaBL will be established under a recognized Red Cross-nurse. Camden and Kershaw county have been visited by bad disasters in the. past ??d the. National Red Cross headquarters has always stood ready to cooperate with the Kershaw County Red Cross Association. It gives one a feeling of saairfty to know that this wonderful organization is always ready to help in the time of tfouble and need. l^eryone is expected to ^ lend a make a^ donation and perhaps to help *?!>i??.:.0s. ttidy; far the caH gad let's make the drike a big success. proceeds of the supper wilfcfckr the repair fttnd of the drtttch.
