The county tuberculosis association and the county health nurses’ association feel that their efforts toward better health in our schools are well repaid.

Navy Great Lakes, 111., ’Sept. 23. — Virgil Maurice Kettering, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice. Kettering, Syracuse, Ind., began his career in the U. S. Navy on Sept. 16th when he arrived at the Naval Training Station here for a sixweek primary course in seamanship and naval procedure. The training period will acquaint the new recruit with the problems of a Sailor’s life while still on land. Here at Great Lakes he will get his first experience sleeping in a hammock and living out of a sea bag, and will learn the distinctive language of the sea and ships. Following the completion of his training in “boot camp,” as this first six-week period is called, the new recruit will either enter a Navy trade school or be assigned active duty with the fleet. About 60 percent of the more than 600 young men coming into Great Lakes every week are sent to trade schools for training in the many technical subjects so necessary to the Navy. Great Lakes Training Station is located on the shore of Lake Michigan about 40 miles north ot Chicago. It serves the Ninth Naval District, composed of 13 midwestern states, from which is drawn 35 percent of the-Davy’s entire enlisted personnel. Wednesd’y Afternoon Club The regular me.eting of the Wednesday Afternoon Club was held Wednesday, Sept. 24, at the John Harley residence.

Mrs. Gants gave the highlights of this woman who was the founder of the W. C. T. U., an orator of great eloquence, humor, and power, and a writer of considerable note. Estella Miles followed with her assignment on Susan B. Anthony, who was the great American reformer. We were reminded she was instrumental in organizing the National Woman Suffrage association in 1868. Next we heard Elnora Colwell give the story of Jane Adam’s life in Hull House. This woman crusader was prominent for her notable, executive gifts, and admirable humanitarian spirit and became one of the foremost leaders of social settlement work in America. All three subjects were presented in a very charming and interesting manner. This concluded a most constructive’program. October 22nd is reciprocity day at Sidney, Ind., at which time the Syracuse Wednesday Afternoon Club gives the program, featuring Esther Stoelting in a book review. x REAL Leroy Miles to Karl Freese, sr., and wife, Elkhart county, lots 2 and 3 at Kale Island, -8,000.
