Miss Gossett, the county Red Crass nurse has received the following let ter from Miss Van DeVrede, Direc tor of Nursing Service, Southern Division, American Red Cross, and hopes that all 'high school girls and young women of the county, who have the opportunity will read this letter. "Girls, you do not need a crystal gazing ball to find if the future be dark or bright. Your happiness lies within yourself and, true as it is fun ny, that depends on how much you forget yourself. "To be needed is to be happy. To come intimately, tenderly, construc tively into human lives is happiness and there is no other sort that will not wear threadbare with the passing of the years. Marriage will give us that reaj happiness, you think; but marriage means making a home, and that takes a big hert and under standing and requires special train ing in these days. "If you are planning self-support, nursing will keep you womanly as no other work will do. It can develop in you courage and ?haracter, ten derness and insight, teaching you ma. ny things that will make life, married or unmarried, happier;for, of all the lessons that training teaches, the greatest is the joy of service. "You surely want a broader life with much more human interest in it than a business office or a store can possibly give. In nursing, you will find this human interest-and if you really want it you may also obtain an understanding heart, "Girls, you are needed now in the hospitals that can not fill their beds with the suffering who need care be caus' there ar. not enough pupil nur ses to give that care. "You do not need money to learn to be a nurse. The hospital training school will provide you with living, ur. forms, lectures and eight or ten dollars a month for text books and incidentals during your three years training. But you must be at least nineteen years old, have completed in good physical health beore a frst rate training school will accept you, no matter how badly it needs nurses. "And when you have' finished training, ever so many types of nurs ing are open to you. One nurse, whio teaches in little county t2Mns, Home hygiene and care of the sick for the -Red Cros, writes of a woman who could neither read nor write, yet came to every lesson, bringing her daughter. She listened earnestly, practiced the making of a sick bed without a wrinkle, learned just the right way to turn aau ,.... .. nelp less patient, but the nurse felt sadly that it would be impossible for her to take her written examination. Imagine her admiration when that woman appeared on examinationr day dictated all her answers to her daughter, who wrote them down, and passed with flying colors. An other pupil walked four miles each way and never missed a lesson. Could you ever get bored helping such eagerness? "Every state in the Union is try ing to get Public Health Nurses. As one of these, you are a vital part of a community's life, with, maybe, a lit tIe home of your own, and the con stant assurance that you are needed nd loved. You may help keep dis. ease from a whole town or county, teaching it to keep well, starting its ittle children off to health, to hap piness, and usefulness by all you do and say and live. "Listen to the true story of 'A Regular Nurse:' There had gather ed in the court house the little group of women who had struggled and prayed for a Public Health Nurse for their mou.tain community. The men of local influence, who had opposed that struggle, consented at last t consider the matter. "Unmoved, the mien sat; anxious, listening, the women waited during a discussion of the Public Health Nurse, her qualifications and the need for her that existed. Finally a local doctor rose and said slowly, "I don't know about these public health nurses, but a regular nurse came to our, town and tended the low-downdet fellow in the county and since then he ain't been such a low-down fellow and his fam ily ain'i been such a low-.down fam That single tribute won the day. The comuiity is looking for a reular nurse-a regular Public Health Nurse. That's what you may be, but, no matter what form of nursing.you; decide on after three years (and oh, how fast they fly!), you w'ill always hold tender. Cnny memories of "those days in training." Grls you are needed. If you want to know more o1 training scAmols and nursing oppor tunities write to Headquarters, Na tional Nurs-ng Associations, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City, or to the Nursing Department of the Sou thern Division, American Red Cross, 249 Ivy Street, Atlanta, Georgia. We will be glad to help you. Statement of the Condition of THE BANK OF RIDGEWAY located at Ridgeway, S. C., at the close of business April 28, 1921.

It would seem passing strange that Messy Dale would talk as he did about his company to Monticello when he was beating a ride and "rations" as well. But we know whom he loveth he chasteneth. Mr. Claud Leitner, of Boston, Mass., worshipped with us on Sun day. He is a lovely character and we are always pleased to have him in the community. Before E. G. Friday made this crop of oats, "oats was oats." Now there are oats and OATS. Little cotton is sick everywhere down here. Only a few people are Making the venture of .beginning to chop. They don't know how to gc about it. Cotton looks red and bad, p r stand, and all in all, a poor out lek everywhere. Rarely do you find a stand of corn. Many of our people have lost thcir grip in a measure and gone fishing. They will renew their en ei gy when the sun begins to show his face. Grain and gardens are looking well. RIDGEWAY.
