Remember the Rainbow Trio and Mrs. Laura Mae Wood Ellis of Haverhill, who will give their delightful entertainment at the town hall, Hampton, Friday, Feb. 25 at 8 o'clock. Admission will be 35 cents; children under twelve, 25 cents. Dancing will follow, at which the matrons will be Mrs. Edwin Batchelder, Miss Elizabeth Philbrick and Mrs. Wilson Olney. The proceeds will be given to the local Red Cross to help pay the salary of a public health nurse.

At the last executive meeting of the Hampton Branch of the Red Cross it was voted to have a clause inserted in the warrant asking the town for an appropriation toward the support of a public health nurse. The important work which is being done in the schools and among the children especially seemed to justify such a request, as so far this work has been carried on through private subscriptions. Through an unfortunate oversight this article has been omitted from the warrant, but it is hoped it will be brought up from the floor under the heading of "new business" and will receive the hearty support of the townspeople. Nothing is of such importance as the health of the community, and it is only by intelligent and professional supervision that such health can be maintained.
