Sound Advice Necessary.

But that is the lesser phase of the COM
mittee's work. Many problems arise in
. household which require sound advice
for solution. 1t may be only that the
mother needs to be cheered up because of
the absence of husband or son. She may
endeavor to overwork in order TO meet
her family's needs. She may be in need
OF financial or economic advice. especially
in period of the high cost of living.
At the next weekly meeting of these
friends now thirty-five in number, they
will submit written reports regarding
their plans relating to the health, recrea-
ton and education of children in the
families. In some cases a talk with a
teacher has suggested the wisdom OF re-
moving a child from the regular grade to
. vocational school In numerous cases
the family of meager income makes no
provision for recreation. Needed recrea-
ton can be had at little no cost through
settlements, church clubs. school centers
and other channels unknown to the
another. 1t is imperative that the living
standard be kept up, if the health of the
future generation is not to be sapped.

Then there is afforded contact in
the home library groups. The workers

where helping hand of this sort has
been extended. with encouraging re-
suits.

MANY families have had to be advised
how to take advantage of the allow
ance and insurance provisions of the
law. This the friends have done.
Red Cross officials have consulted
with representatives of the Canadian
and other governments, and it is esti-
mated that one-fifth of the families of
enlisted men will need some sort of
friendly help of this kind. With this
in mind the National Red Cross pro-
vided twenty-five institutes in large
