FOLSOM ¶JUNIOi .RED CROSS EN.
TERTAINS.
What proved ,:o be one of the most
interes ng meetings ever held in
Folsom was held at the school house
Friday afternoon, April 29th, when
the Red Cross Health Posters, made
under the direction of the Red Cross
Chapter in this parish, were exhibit
ed to the patrons of this community.
One of the largest crowds ever as
sembled at the school viewed the
posters and all v.ere hearty in their
praise of the work done.
Owing to the small children in the
priniary grades,' their work was es
pecally praised, -for it does credit to
not only Folsom at-large but to our
very energetic primary teacher, Miss
3treeck, who has been with us for
three years ii this -,work. We are
r'le to boast of one of the best four
room schools in the pIarish.
The crowd did not linger long in,
the h'gher grade rooms but congre
gated in the primary room where
the Junior Red Cross, under the di
rection of Miss Streeck, sold cake,
eemonade, home-made candy and
puzzles of different kinds.
Quite a nice sum was realized for
)ur Junior Red Cross fuird which
rwill be turned 'oier to M ss Lansing,
iie Parish - Public Health Nurse of
:he Red Cross,
M ss Streeck and her helpers were
Iressed as .Red Cross nurses, which
:em:nd-d u, of the war days when
our girls so patriot'cally served as
such.
Miss Streeck l'as won a place in
.nr commun:ty that will be hard to
ill should she le ve us when school
s out, but if s'ae is guided by the
.;shes of our patron ; she wll again
)e our primary t.-acher when schoor
-ains next Spteniber. Almost with
out exception everyone is strongly in
avor of her retuln.

'its service during the later war
period. The last great accomplish
ment was the complete renovation of
the local cemetery, which the club is
now keeping in order.
. The Redpath Chautauqua will be

lectures 8aturday (to-day). G~reat

before. Those who miss it will re,

Attention is called to the fact that
the performances will. open at 3:15
and 8:15 p. m.
Al^o, please bear in mind that sea

than you will get by buying at the

The pure white flower you wear in

Report of Miss Lansing of
Work Done During the
Month of April.
During this month examined Tali
sheek and Union Grove schools, and
made two attempts .to get to the
Ridge school. Once, after getting
three miles out of Slidell, found it
impossible to go nearer, on account
of high water, and again, after going
six miles, found the teacher away
and no school. With one exception
this completes all the white schools,
both public and Catholic, but twar
Catholic schqois which did not care
for the medical inspection. En
deavor will now he made to get over
as many of tie colored schools as
possible.
The Covingtod colored school has
closed, but have been invited to give
a health talk to ine colored children,
who have a weekly meeting called
"The Children's Hour," under the
direction of one of the teachers.
In the Union Grove school were&
found two girls who had been ex
amined last fall while in another
school. They then had very :bad
throats, and the mother; a widow,
after receiving- the slip from the
school inspection, brought them to
our office saying she had taken them
to a doctor as advised but he said
they must be operated on and she
gad no money. A date was made for
their operation at the Eye, Ear, ivose
and Throat Hospital with arrange
ments for the mother to accompany
and, stay with the children- Now
these two girls are the picture of
health and leaders in' their school

means to children to have. physical
handicaps removed. This school was
