The above statistical report covers
tlie rural and town districts during
the year ending June 1, 1920. Tljis
does not include the cities of Aim
Arbor and Ypsilanti.
The program for public health service was accepted hy the Washtenaw
County Chapter-off the American Red
Cross in the spring of 1919. An appropriation of $12,000 was made, to
which $4,000 was added .-later, and a
tentative program was adopted of la-
nursing staff -of seven nurses for the
entire county. This program included the two nurses in Anii Arhor arid
one nurse in Ypsilanti, already employed by organizations affiliated
with the Red Cross. <
Miss I. Malinda Havey, who knerw
the county through her two years
service 'in Ann Arbor and the slart-
rjiary 1, Miss Helen Regai\ came on
for a six months' term in the Saleni-
TQisilanti district.. Meantime, Milan
hacl added another nurse for 'intens-
jye school .work in York township.
As .will he seen, the growth of the
work*- ^.necessitated enlarging the
nursing staff and the year closed
.frith a total number of ten -nurses lor
the entire county. Tliis does not include "the extra nurses employed during the '-flu" epidemic.
Child welfare clinics are held at
frujuent intervals . in the " different
centres. These clinics are associated
With the department of children's
diseases in the university hospital,
Ann Arbor. Aill children of twelve
years and under may be examined,
but no treatment is given, other than
tho regulation diet-. The tuberculosis
clinics are held in cooperation with
the anti-tuberculosis section of the
State health department.
In every district, the nurse is -assisted   by  a  committee* of
resident!
women who arrange' for her office,
maintain the loah closet,v report patients "she might not otherwise know
about and render her all • possible
help. This committee meets with
the district nurse each month. The
chairman of the loo,ajl committee, together with other interested people,
make up the county compiittee, which
holds monthly meetings with the entire nursing staff.
■ 'Each nurse has her Ford, furraishe.1
aud maintained by the chapter and
emW.asoned with the insignia'of the
Red Cross. Tirelessly, the car chugs
its way over good roads and bad, iu-
tg, the -.towns, stopping at -school

*as qihTSttfanees in bringing into Anil
Arbor hospitals patients needing examinations and treatment. "
STORY OP THE LOST
- BATTALION IS MOST
ROMANTIG OJF WAR
Splendidly Pictured by D. W.  Griffith in "The Giri Who Stayed
'V.   at'llouie.'1
No more ramantic story of the war
has come than that of the famous
Lost Battalion, and of the ringing
answer made to the Germans by the
American commander when they demanded surrender. It has been told
in story and in -many columns of
newspaper print. The men of the
battalion have been pictured in the
dailies and in the weekly news-reels
of the moving picture theatres, but
it has remained for David Wark
Griffith to iinmortalize "that story by
impressing it in the indelible celluloid of a photodrama.
The new Griffith picture is not a
war play. It has sn its plot some
things that have to do with war and
there are some battle scenes shorwn
that are said to be the hest yet
screened, especially one of a night
attack when- the parachute flares
and a hox barrage ane seen working simultaneously. The short chapters that deal with the actual fightr
ing, deal almost exclusively with the
charge and siege of one of the lost
companies that faced the Huns along
the Argonne and who made that
classic everlasting answer.
"The Girl Who Stayed at Home"
is the new prodhction. which will be
shown at the Liberty theatre Saturday. It was written by S. E. V. Taylor" and is played by Griffith players,
headed by Robert Horron, who presents a character he has never before attempted, but which is said to
show -a versatility in this actor that
even he himself had never dreamed
existed.
CARD OF THANKS
The local chapter of the Red Cross
wish to express their appreciation of
the generosity of the business men
who contributed to the prizes for tag
ing of the heailth clinics in the rural- days, and to all who in any way as-
districts,   was   sSeuFed   to   organize . sisted in making the affair a finan-
those parts  of  the  county that had
never had nursing service.
. July 1 Miss Florence Hoffman took
over the Milan district of the three
dial, success.
The latest official report says there
is a surplus, the greatest on record,
townships of Anigusta* York and Sa- J of -cotton and wool in this 'country,
line.- At the same time Miss Ruth J. I hence goods made of the$e two* pro-
Howe was placed in the Chelsea dis-   ducts must drop in price.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL
Organized iii Saline Last
Friday Evening.
. The -organization meeting of the
Saline Community Council in- con-
'ltccition with Community Service took
place on Friday, July 23, at the council rooms. Ray E. Bassett, the com-
munttty organizer for the County Community Board, was present and explained the' purpose of Community
Service.
Already six of the- organizations in
the SaKine district have expressed" a
desire "to affiliate with the Saline
Community Council and have selected their representatives^ to serve.
These organizations and their representatives are as follows: Saline
Commercial" Club, George Wi Seeger;
Piirent-Teachers Association, O. C.
Wheeler; Maccabees, Mrs. William
Dell; Woman's Club, Mrs. Fred
Burkhart; Common Council, C. A.
Curtiss; and Eastern Star, Mrs. Alar-
tin Fuoss.       .*
A1 this first meeting of the Saline
Cour.jii, Dr. J. B. Wallace was ches-
2n as chairman, Mrs. Martin Fuoss
as secretary and treasurer. After
the meeting Dr. Wallace was interviewed and while he appreciated
tliq confidence which the members of
:J|fe Council -placed in him as heading up this organization, he -felt for
-business, reasons that he should 'define the office. It will be ne-.es-
sary at the next meeting of the coun-
eil to secure a chairman to take
his place.
It is anticipated that great tilings
will"be ascomplished by this new organization and because of fhe affilia-
t'on  of   aill  the  local organizations
on  this  one  community council,    it
will tend to develop    a   uiiited cpm-
munity effort in all" enterprises and
activities carried on by the separate
organizations  and should. develop  a
community spirit for the best interests of all the people of the Saline
district..   .. ..,-
* All-local organizations seeking' to
perform any common service for the
wc,;far^e of *the public Or -apy portion
or c-lafes thereof, regardless of the nature of their service, are eligible for
■©presentation oh the community
jouricil. All that is necessary for
Jhese organizations to do to become
Affiliated with the community council is to take proper action according to their own rules of procedure.
J!ro express such desire and notify the
secretary of the community council.
'The secretary shall then" record
jsucih organization as a member and
pach organization holding member-
;hip shall be entiltled to one representative on the board of directors of
ihe comtuuniifcy council which has
been organized.
