VOLUME XXXVII LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBL- 30,1 1921. NIRR2 (IREENVILLE READY FOR SHRINERS Program (afls for Big Diay for Shrlilv ers from Upper Part of Cite State Oreenville will 'be the Mecca for Ali1 Shriners of the tupper part of'the state Thuri'day of this week when the Nobles'will gather for the,regular fall Ceremonial. Laurens Shriners in large numlberg are already .preparing to wend their way to -Greenville and enjoy the program nyhich has been ar ranged. The .following news item taken from the Greenville News gives some idea of what may be expected that (lay: Shriners from all over the upper part of South Carolina will gather in -Greenville on Thursday of this week to participate in the celebration which has been arranged for them by Hejaz Temple. The program for that day includes many amusing and entertain ing events whclh have -been especially wprepalecd for the visitors. The var Ois committees are just beginning to ibreathe easy after the strenuous work they have gone through in order that 'everything might be in readiness on Thursday when the visitors arrive. A letter is being 'prepared to send 'out to the Greenville members of Hejaz Temple, requesting them to appear in the Shriners' official garb, that is, full dress suit and fez, nt the cere monial on Thursday. On account of the ceremonial :being held in Green ,ille, the local -members are In a bet ter position to appear in .full dress than are many of the visitors who twill need to ride many miles, over dusty roads, in automobiles in order to bei ipresent on the momentous occasion that will bring them to the city Thurs day. -Nevertheless, many of them will come attirefl in the official dress, while others will don it after their arrival. Potentate George T. Bryan in speak Ing of the remarkable showing made -by Greenville members of Hejaz Tem Ple at the I last ceremonial, when so many of them wore full dress In the parade, stated that. it was his dcir.e that ij greater number wear the ofli clal garb on Thursday. Until the last ceremonial tht order of affairs was hesitancy in ampearing in full dress be cause there were so few of them who did so that they felt conspicuous In that attire. However, at the spring ceremonial there order of affair was changed; there were innumerable Shriners in dress'suits, and remember ing what a splendid appearance they made, it is hoped, in addition to the Greenville members, that the out of tow' members and visitors will ask "friend wife" to hang out the old sissoirs tail" suit to get- rid of the odor of moth balls, and send It to the pressing club and then pack it in a suit case or grip, ready for the "do inga" in Greenville on Thursday. All 'Shriners, as their wive% and sweethearts will agree, look fihe in dress suits. They make a "prune" look like a prince of good fellows. Even If they are hammered down, 'bok-legigen dwarfs; or long, lean, lanky bean-polps with Adam aipples that insist on riding the tops of their etillars; or of cor pulant propensity with so-called "ibay windows" that appear to need a prob or support, it makes no difference, they will look good in -their dress suits when they crown the effect -with their'fez. The "Hanidsome ~Harry" types need no urging to vie awith .their aforementioned brothers in the mat ter of dress, although, :be it known, they will attract less attention among the flair ones of the opiposite sex,- all -of whom are inclined to lean to and like something odd and different. The officials of the TIemple do not wish the impression to go abroad that Shrindrs not in full 'dress will'be out .of place on Thursday. No $hriner is ever Qut of placo at a Shrine gathering' if hre can produce the current year's -Shrine card and spea'k intelligently the requisiteo Arable anue.The oft cdal are not so lnceh after, the dress suits as they ar-e after thti Shriners themseived, so those -who will not wear the official garb are urged to get out their fez and 1921 b. tine card anid r-ide, 'Walk or crawl to O3reenville for 'Thursday's festiyitles, (Don't fail to see d'h faire of -Anatol'' at the6 'riniceas ? ~re rhurs day amid Pridsy$, De 1 4 .* 4464 etonfort els.

The annual iRed 'Cross 11011 Clli which was to have begun Armistice Day and to have closed Thanksgiving Day is still in progress in Laurens county.. Under the direction of -Miss Margartt Dunlap the campaign for the Roll Call is making fine progress-Tle organizaticn for the Roll Call in Lau rens county iwas not perfected until the early part -of .lqt week. So far over three hundred have joined the Red Cross. The record of the Red Cross In its national program alone would cause miany persone to join this organiza tio t. The fundametal aim of this or p.anization is to continue and carry on a system of national and international reliefl in time of peace and to aid in uiffering caused by pestilence, famine, fIre, fiods and other national calami ties; and to devise measures.for pre venting same and to promulgate a ipro gram .for national health. The Red Dross membership doll'ar will help to inake possible the accomplishment of Its duty, "The union of all who love in the sereiee of all who suffer." Not only .thc national record but the local record of the Red Cross is worthy of conisderation. During the p)ast year in Laurens County the R.ed Dross through its Home Service do )artment aided hundreds of ex-sqrvice lien in the county; through the nurs ng department it hadxmany successful Jaby campaign' at Laurens, Gray Jourt, Owings) and 'Clinton; held a .ubercular clinic at Laurens; exam ned several thousanad school chil Iren; and gave visits to many sick .olk that were in need of medical at ention. In addition to these definite hings the Red Cross chapter at Lau ,ens helped to formulate a more defl lite program of' healti education hroughout the county. What, then, is the iprogram of the Rled Cross for the coming year in Lau ens county? First, to continue its association with the .National organization in its oiley of assisting in the reconstruc ion of the devast'ated iworld and aid ng in making American citizens xealthier and stronger. To do this It s neqessary that a number of folk in Uaurens county join the local Red 3ross and thus let a part of the -money )e sent to headquarters. Second, to have a Home Service worker for a number of months to as siet the ex-service men in adjusting heir glaims. During the past month he Clean-Up Squad was in (Laurens, )ut necessarily much work was not ,ompleted. 'Recent days have biought nany ex-service menl to Red Cross leadquarters for tiis purpose. Some ;hing over three hundred men were xamined by this squad. and .the con ,lusion is that twenty-five per cent of hese wvill need additional help. Sbme lays ago a young man came to the Red Cross with a claim. This man !ould neither read nor write. 'He has eOen due $27.50 per month for tile past uight months and lIas not received a ~ent. Tihe .Home Service uworker will e 'asked-to look closely after such cas s.. Third, to have, a Red Cross nurse for he county. The past year showed the work that thia -nurse may do. This work showed the possible good that re mults, The Red Cross chapter at Lau rens feels the need of having a nurse o assist I'amilies of ex-service men; :o direct the health programi of the bunty,, not only amopg the adults but wmong the children as well; and to co >perate with other orgahizations in the state program for bettering the me'alth facilities ot the state. 'Miss Ma.rgaret 'Dunlap, of Laurens, zas 'been selected as the Home Ser vice worker. She will be in her of act three dlays during the week, Wed ries.l .y, tJhut'sday iand Friday. This mfce .will be kept open six months. r'ho Red Cross chapter feels that al Ilaims ~for comipensation, hospitaliza tion, etc., ought to 'be'fully cleared up by;fthat time. vIfhe nurse for the coming year has ztot Been selected.
