Last year, this practice was not observed, even after an article was printed in the “Chatterette” about it I am very glad this change has taken place, and hope it will remain so throughout the year. Conduct during these services could, however, be greatly improved I am sure. The least you could do would be to remain quiet while the minister is speaking—both in respect to him and to those who do wish to hear him. Some scholars become suddenly very studious at chapel services and study very diligently-— more than they usually do! If you don’t care about chapel, at least be courteous enough to allow those who do care about it to enjoy it

Red Crees Seeks Get In Accident Toll 1,725,406 First Aiders Trained Since 1910 Cognizant of tremendous losses in human lives and of permanent injuries resulting from accidents in homes, oh farms and highways, and around industrial plants as well as in the basement workshop, officials of the American Red Cross have been directing a systematic fight against what they term "this economic waste." As part of this nation-wide effort to reduce deaths and permanent injuries from accidents, a recent statement from Red Cross headquarters in Washington reports that during the past 12 months certificates have been granted to 295,028 persons completing courses in the administration of Red Cross first aid. Holders of these certificates have followed detailed courses of study and have been taught how to splint fractured limbs', stop flow of blood, treat poison sufferers, care for victims of heat, electric shock, and handle other common emergency situations. The courses emphasize methods of caring for patients until professional medical aid can be summoned to scenes of accidents. Since 1910, the report reveals, 1,725,406 persons have received this training from qualified Red Cross instructors, and at the present time 20,429 persons are qualified to give such instruction. Bringing help nearer scenes of possible accident, 2,454 emergency first aid stations have been established in strategic locations on principal highways throughout the nation, operators of the stations receiving the prescribed Red Cross Instructions and maintaining full first aid equipment on the spot Conveniently placed, they also maintain up-to-date lists of available doctors and ambulance services pledged in advance to cooperate with Red Cross first aiders in preventing deaths and permanent injuries that so frequently result from automobile accidents. Mobile first aid units also have been established in cooperation with state highway and police departments, operators of public utility vehicles and others frequenting highways, operators of such units also receiving the prescribed Red Cross courses in first aid. To cut the number of persons -losing their lives through drowning while swimming, the Red Cross has redoubled efforts to train as many persons as possible in life saving methods. During the past year 88,150 persons received certificates upon completion of courses. Since 1914, 884,649 persons have been trained in Red Cross life saving methods, including thousands of persons in CCC camps, beach patrolmen, camp instructors, and schoolboys and girls. Carrying the fight onto farms and into homes, a campaign to eliminate accidents caused by careless habits and faulty equipment last year resulted in self-checks being made in 10,000,000 American homes through cooperation of children in school, women’s clubs, farm organizations, and other groups. The 3,700 Red Cross chapters and their branches in every county are cooperating in this national effort to end needless pain and suffering resulting from such accidents. These efforts to lessen such appalling tolls of human lives and usefulness are made possible through memberships in the Red Cross. The annual Roll Call will be held between November 11 and Thanksgiving Day, when all Americans are asked to join or renew their affiliation to ensure continuation of accident prevention measures. Join the Red Cross Chapter in your community during the Roll Call, November 11 to 24. Seigal Rassi and Noble Wagner, I students from Kendallville high | school, were visitors Tuesday afternoon.

Things You Ought To Know

The principal of Middlebury high school sent Mr. Slabaugh a letter, enclosing a card from somebody tn Syracuse high, and asking him to translate it. It read thus: “Please inform me what your school is ana what it is taken from.” Mr. Srabaugh learned that our drum major had sent out cards to various schools to find out what their school songs are for use by the band at basketball games this winter. What were you thinking of, June? Believe It or Not By the past records of a little book owned by a certain junior girl, is shown the amazing account ot her being out with 21 different boys. For further information ask J. LeCount. From the looks of things there must be a new romance budding in the Senior class. It seems that this certain girl is taken home every night after class play practice by a young gentleman. I wonder if he knows about the competition he had Sunday afternoon from New Paris. It seems that Billie Emerson is going in for long distance walking. She has stated to your editor several times that she has started for town, and through some means always gets a ride. How about giving some of us fellaw hitch-hikers a lesson?

Substitute Teacher Mrs. Nilson Miles took Miss Hammon’s classes last • Monday afternoon so that Miss Hammon could attend a funeral. Boy Scout Drive This week is the week of the annual Boy Scout drive. The Scouts have been asked by the area council to raise S2OO. This drive ends Friday, October 21.- All those interested in the drive, see the following: Charles Kroh, Vernon Bechman, Paul Cook, R. J. Neff, Eugene Fidler Court Slabaugh. Jim’ Kroh, treasurer, will accept at Thornburg’h Drug Store all cash donations, which will be greatly appreciated. Come on, everyone, let’s help support our Boy Scouts’

On Friday if some of you students saw some girls going arounu with patches on their clothing, end a different make of shoe on each foot, and then kneeling down tn some of the most conspicuous places (such as B. E. made Mary G.). It was the Junior Ladies of the Round Table initiating the new members. “Your Royal Highness I know I am nothing but a lowly worm.” It seems that Martha Thornburg had a very important engagement last Thursday night and couldn’t take it to the Jr. Ladies of the Round Table. Is it one Goshen, Martha? If Syracuse H. S. ever forms a track team while Harry C. is still in school, I would like to put a good word for him. All you would have to do would be this: put a Hershey candy bar at the finish of the hundred yard dash! If anybody gets hard up for coal this winter, just go down to the railroad tracks when the trains are going through dnd throw stones or else make faces at the engineer and fireman. This was suggested in physics class by a prominent member in our school. Would you have any more suggestions to make E. F.?

Chapel The first of a series of chapei programs was presented In the Syracuse high school building on Friday, October 14 by Rev. Ralph RarIck, pastor of the Syracuse Church of the Brethren. Rev. Rarick chose as his subject “Putting Christ in His Place.” After Christ is placed where he should be, everything else will come out right.
