They are men already trained, self-disciplined and imbued with the true spirit of service which develops steadiness and self-reliance under the strain of emergencies. Bell Telephone workers acquire these characteristics through training, and the experience gained in maintaining the Bell System's ideals of service. While these telephone men arc performing their duties to the nation, they and their f a m i 1 i e s f e e I s c c\ire in the knowledge that j when their country no longer needs them in its armed services there is a place awaiting them with the telephone company. At home are 2 5,000 telephone workers, who, though not wearing the uniforms of our nation's defenders, are working harmoniously to * expand and safeguard the lines of telephone communication so vital to the nation's defense program.

Tho roof of the building which housed the women was blown entirely ,off und everything got wet?everythnig but the box of new sweaters for airbomber victims. After the storm, the box was opened und the garments used tt clothe natural disaster refugees. Although the garments didn't reach England, they were put to good service, fpr the American lted Cross helps typhoon victims as well us those hurt by bombs. Behind the following news Item from North Carolina lies a dramatic story of how the American Red Cross, fighting side by side with State health departments, has put Jo rout a disease which once cost the South untold misery and millions of dollars each year. "Approximately 300 city and rural families In which there is one or more cases of pellagra, received packages of garden seed from the Buncombe Comity, North Carolina chapter. Each package contained 14 varieties of seed to grow vegetables found to be especially valuable In the control and prevention of tho disease. Strlnglesa green-pod beans, Trucker's favorito corn. Grand Rapids lettuce, Purple Top turnips, Oxheart carrots and Danish Railhead cabbage were a few of those included.'' The American Red Cross annuallly has distributed around 25 tons of powdered yeast to pellagra sufferers. In 1927 the Red Cross began to give out garden seed throughout pellagra sections of the nation. In the eight years that followed, more than 750,000 packages were given out. And Red Cross tlrst aid training course saves a Ranger's arm: Raymond West, a U. S. Forest Ranger in Montana, fell from his horse and broke his right arm while chasing stock a quarter of a mile from the rangers' cabin on Flathead River. Previousli^Agikest had taken the Red Cross ^Br?id training course given in Kallspeil, Montana, and had learned how to handle bones to prevent further injury after an accident. Here was a chance to put this know ledge to use. Getting back to the cabin, he instructed two of the men how to prepare trttHlon splints from odds and ends around the cabin. ' After the spUnts were prepared, the hoys put the rig on the left arm to see if it worked. They were then ; able to put the splint on the injured arm without further ado. Upon arriving at the hospital it was found that the radial nerve was injured but would have been com- 1 pletely cut in two had it not been ' for the traction splint. West gives all the credit to his instructor for he claims it was through j his effective training that he was able to save his arm. The American Red Cross conducts classes In FirBt 1 Aid in all its chapters a number of j times a year. Two classes have already completed the countA, aVveii ?ui Camden in the past few months.

NOW AND THEN ?Johnnie, Jr., eats his cornflakes, cream, toast, scrambled eggs, and coffee In bod..,his mother fetches it In on a nice, clean silver tray about 7:45 a. m. ?After breakfast Johnnie, Jr., goes to the bath-rooiti and gets Into a tub of warm water which his mather has fixed for him. He dabbles aroupd In the said tub for a fetv minutes, then he puts on his pretty cltthe.? that his mother fixed up and put out for him. ?Johnnie, Jr. takes his book-satchel which his mother hands him as he walks out to the front door. A big yellow, 8-cylinder school bus pulls up to Johnnie, Jr., and picks him up and whiffs him off to a beautiful school building where Johnnie, Jr., Is taught everything but reading, writflng and rtthmatlc. Then the bus man takes him home. When I was a boy, say about 10, I got up at yell of my father at 5 a. m. I put on my hat and shoes. (I slept In everything else I wore). I built a fire in the fireplace and one in the kitchen stove. I slopped 6 hogs, Bhucked and milked 2 cows, toted In, (after cutting If necessary) emough wood to Last mother all day.

I washed my face and hands in a washpan in the back piazza. I got my slate and pencil and word primer and little tin bucket which contained a imjull bottle oi ho-naade molasses, possibly 2 pieces of fried bread, and 4 biscuits, and lit out for school. ?Our little red school house, which was not painted at all; (dust had settled on it from the nearby red hills, and that's how it got red) was only a very, very short 4 miles away. I hopped 2 miles and enjoyed it, I skipped 1 mile and was happy, I threw rocks at birds, and toad frogs for the last mile and rejoiced that rocks were plentiful. I got there on time, 8 a.m. I?I studied hard for 6 or 7 hours. I had to Btudy hard, I was bo dumb... and as you have already said It, I admit that I have not yet overcome that dumbness). I played myself dead tired at the 2 little t\nd 1 big recesses. I ate my dinner and was thankful for such fine food. I loved my teacher. 1 had no aspirations or Inspirations; I was only going to school because my father and mother told me to do so. Books turned out at about 4 p. m. I skipped and trotted back homo and did my day's work and was contented. LOST, 8TRAYED AND MISSING ?The house that Is home to me and my wife and our family la located on the west side of a street.

Naturally we have to buy a good maay different kind of tools to keep a big \ place like that worked and dolled up. Every spring we re-plenish our stock of equipment, and that's why my Income tax Is so little: I charge off all missing Implements as depletions, replacements, betterments, contingencies, renewals and miscellaneous losses. ?I think our tools all have legs and can walk off and stay off.
