Plans Perfected For
Drive Of Red Cross
Plans are being perfected daily by
8t& A* Pi McAm, chairman of tht
Annual Red Cross Drive* *ith the
assistance of Mrs. Margaret Maytield,
county director of Red Cross activi
WmW* t*rta on Armistice
Day, an^ \ committees will canvass
every section of the county, And it is
hoped by Rev. 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
