Of course dreams are of­ ten fantastic and cannot be ex­ plained by logic. This particular dream happened about two years ago after I had enjoyed an excel­ lent supper and had retired early. I was snoozing peacfully on my Beautyrest when the plot evolved. Without a moment’s notice I was suddenly in medieval Eng- King Arthur. Knights in clank- land, and it was in the time of ing armor were riding down the street, and suddenly I was sur­ rounded fcy curious towns-people who demanded who 1 was and where I came from. A knight marched me down the street with a spear to my back, and I was ordered to appear be­ fore* King Arthur*. I was shown down the corridor to the throne. Gentlemen and ladies of the court as I reached the throne and start­ ed to speak to the king, it hap­ pened. It was as if some fairy had waved her magic wand and caused them to disappear. There I stood he!ore the court clad in,, nrv B- V, D.V. All eyes were on mo and some o f the men started laughing. I turned a bright beet red, but before I hud time to speak, I weke up in my own bed. The time was 7:30. Time to get up and dress for school. Oh, heck, I thought 1 wish I were back be­ fore tire king.’—Don Turner TenFamilies GivenDisaster AidbyRedCross Disaster may strike one or more homes, or a whole community, and when not more than five families are involved, the local Red Cross chapter is obligated . and prepared to assist persons in distress, by helping provide food, shelter, clothing and financial aid if needed, at the time of emergency, within the limits of chapter ability. During last year, ten families in Greene county were given dis­ aster aid by the chapter, seven as a result o f fires, and three in high water cases, two o f which were in early Spring o f 1919, on Washington street and South Galloway street in Xenia, the third in Xenia township where the Red Cross provided shelter, clothing and food fo r one week to a deserted wife and five chil­ dren. Four fires required assistance in the Fairborn area, and Dec. 28. a family o f father, mother, and five children in Beavercreek township received substantial as­ sistance from the local chapter, when their house burned down.

The first is for 4.88 miles in Jef­ ferson and Silvercreek townships and the second covers 7.51 miles in Cedarville, Ross and Silver- creek townships. When this phase of the work is completed the en­ tire section of Route 72 cross­ ing Greene county will be im-: proved.

The Red Gross is never expected to fight fire, but to give aid, and comfort to its victims. DEFINITION OF DISASTER “ A disaster is a situation, usually catastrophic in na­ ture, where numbers o f per sons are plunged into help­ lessness and suffering, and, as a result, may be in need o f food, clothing, shelter, medical care and other basic necessities o f life. When five or more families are affected by disaster and aid or serv icc is given, the situation is recorded as a disaster in which the national Red Cross has given aid. Local chapters have authority to undertake service and relief when less than five families have dis­ aster-caused needs. If the chapter is not in a position to render adequate relief in such situations, I t should see that the needs are brought to the attention of the proper agencies.” A m e r i c a n Red Cross. The Greene,. county disaster preparedness committee of the Red Cross, headed by R. J. War­ ner, has a complete and compe­ tent organization of volunteers who have a definite understand­ ing o f their duties in case of a major catasrophe, and are author­ ized to call in trained and ex­ perienced assistance from na­ tional Red Cross if the situation was beyond their control. A bulletin card has been pre­ pared by the committee for posting in all public places, giv­ ing names and phone numbers to call in case of a major dis­ aster anywhere in the county. College Head To .Speak Sunday 0 Dr. Ira Vayhinger, president of Cedarville College, is to be the speaker at the evening Lenten services at the Jamestown Meth­ odist church, Sunday evening 7:30.
