If there was no limit Co the amount of raw material available in the coun try, and the shipping spaoe which might be used to transport completed articles tO'the point of need, the pol icy of almost unlimited production might be justified. But there is a lim it, and a very definite limit to re sources, both of material and trans portation, and so it is not only wise, but necessary that the entire produic- tion be put as rapidly as possible on ■'^basis of beat estimates of the most needs. at which surgical dress- n produced has been con- *nd is now at a OLIVER J.

HEALTH STATION ACTIVE Freeport Medical Agency Helping the Sick Through Weekly dinict. The Freeport Health Station was well attended last Friday. Eight chil dren were brought for medical advice. One child, whose mother died recent ly of tubercifiosis, was examined and found to be negative, but will be kept under the watchful eye of the health station, so that tuberculosis does not develop. Two more children exposed to tuberculosis were examined. Other children were weighed and the moth ers instructed as to proper feeding and regular habits.

The ings have stantiy increai? poinf higher than estT __ necessary for some mjnt.._ _ _ This rapidly increasing production ..... strained the capacity of the manufac turers of,raw materials to such an ex tent that there has been serious diffi culty in securing sufficient gauze and other materials used in making dress ings. The department of supplies is work ing in close co-operation with the government to see that regular sup plier. of these materials are secured for Red Cross work. All necessary or ders have been placed with the manu facturers with every help that-can be given the situation by government priorities. For awhile there will still be delay in getting the materials into some parts of the country, but ev erything is being done to hasten de liveries, and it is hoped before long, to have established regular deliveries to a 1 sections. If chapters will take steps to limit their production of dressings to the exact kind and quantities specifically called for by the, division, they may feel assured that the sh.entton is be ing well cared for. This does not mean, however, that any woman who are willing to work need be idle be cause of lack of opportunity. There is tygenit need for other kinds of Red Cross work, such as hospital gar ments, refugee garments, com fold kits, knitting goods. As a result of definite estimates of requirements between now and the autumn, and which have served as the basis for the allotments for the work to be done by the chapters, to make the things called for by this estimate will mean that more women than ever before will be required to devote their time to this work. Some of these ar ticles are for our own soldiers and for those who will soon be called to the colors, others are for the hospitals of our allies abroad, both civil and -mili tary, while still others are for the un fortunate population in the actual war zone of our allies, where they will serve to alleviate so far as possible the suffering of old men, of women and of children, and a t the same time serve as a reminder of this country's interest and sympathy at a time when such evidences of sympathy mean so much to the morale of these sorely stricken countries. JOSEPH R. SHERWOOD Joseph R. Sherwood, a well-known resident of Baldwin, died suddenly on Tuesday when returning by trolley from Point Ixwkout. He was stricken with apoplexy, which attacked him some months ago. ‘‘Joe,\ as he -was familiarly called, held the positions of M. E.

For years he attended meetings o f the Town Board and Board of Supervi sors, frequently walking to the Town Hull in Hempstead or to the Court House in Mineola, before the trolley line was established.

Action on Bakers Suspended. The result of the bakers’ hearings before A. D. Weekes, Jr., deputy food admiiwstratvr for Nassau County, brought out the fact that besides vio lating many minor regulations, bak ers were not using the prescribed quantity of substitutes, and there were several instances of bakers who had a supply of flour on hand in excess of their thirty-day requirements. These violations were considered as serious, but as there did not seem to be any intent to evade the law, ac tion was suspended. -JV Those bakers with an excess supply on hand, agreed to hold the same sub ject to Mr. Weeke’a order, and this , flour will be used in supplying bakers who have run short- the tuberculosis field in the whole of Nassau County.
