KEEPING HOM UNI The Red Cross has for years been associated with hospitals, doctois, soldiers, sailorM, buttles, disasters; bat it Is only within the last few months that those who do not come under any of these classes hove come to realize the Importance of the assistance rendered by the Jted Cross. Soldiers and sailors must be encouraged to "curry en." Their* morale must be upheld. The sailor or soldier who Is worrying about the welfare <>f his family Is not able to put his mind on the business before him. For this reason the Home Service Section of the American lted Cross has been organized, and to the folks at home it means neighhorllness, counsel nnd aid ?the nation's assurance to the enlisted man that his family shall suffer for no essential thing that la within Its power to give. In practically every large^clty of the United States there is already a class for training tlie workers of tlie Home Servire section, so that they may he able to efficiently deal with the very real problems that are before thein. It Is not the policy of the section to force npon families the aid of the Ited Cross nor to burden them with Interference. No fnrnlly should be approached unless some member of the family or some person capable of speaking for them has asked for the service. Because It Is the desire of the Committee on Civilian Belief, under whose direction this work comes, to keep the service of the bureau strictly confidential, the wearing of any uniform by the Home Service workers has been discouraged. They call simply as friends and try to call .Immediately when requested. In no lnstanc< is a visitor permitted to pry Into the secrets of the family. Help Is always ready, and the call usually comes from the man In the service himself. Through the workers In the camp or at the front he learns that his family may be assisted, and If he does not hear regularly or encouragingly he Irf quite apt to talk over with the Ited Cross man or woman the affairs of his home when he learns of the friendly Interest, and thus send lecal workers to his family. The school teachers also are often the informants, for they know through the children of tbe needs at home and are glad te Mt the jCemll/'e problems rtrei, - ^ | . I . ?. - 'trwmi %oeal Jhitereat The four airships that flew from 'inehurst to Columbia returned north ast Wednesday. One of them was orced to land beyond Morven, but 'Ot up and away without mishap. The usual Christmas trees will be lcld this year by the Sunday schools >f the town. The government has 'aised the ban on holiday purchases ind people are at liberty to celebrate Christmas in the good old fashioned vay. i A fresh outbreak of influenza has iccurred throughout the State durng the past weelt. h hough in many ilaces it is more prevalent than in October, it seems to be milder form. There have been quite a number of pretty sick people in and iround Chesterfield, but to date all ire recovering nicely. The appointments of the Methodist hurch made at the recent Confer^ ;ncc at Orangeburg, which are of interest to Chesterfield are as follows: Rev. B. J. Guess, to Chesterfield; Bast Chesterfield, J. W. Walling. Rev. J. L. Tyler goes to Wrightsville. Rev. G. F. Kirby will remain at Cheraw; N. V. Jernian, Jefferson Circuit; 3. I). Bailey; McBec; J. E. Carter, Patrick; G. T. Rhoud, Pageland. The residing elder for the Florence Ph.rict is,Rev. F. II. Shuler. Unless you have jo died since September, your membership to the Red Cross expires this month.
