AMERICAN HOME
TO Be PROTECTED
FROM DISASTERS
IN WORLDS WAR
Home Service Sections Of
American Red Cross
To Act
AIM TO SAVE
THE CHILDREN
Nursing Service To Be At
The Disposal Of
Mothers

Save the children" was the sub
ject of an appeal issued today by
the Northern division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, through the Cass
county chapter. 1t is the first of d
series OF popular discussions of one
Of the greatest problems war will
bring to American communities.
All agencies dealing with Juvenile
questions Ore urged to cooperate
with the Home Service sections of
Red Cross chapters to make the war
work among children efficient and
effective.
The first bulletin issued on this
work is the result of conferences be-
tween Frank T. Bruno, director of
civilian relief for the Northern divi-
sion of the American Red Cross, Dr.
P. w. Schultz, of the Infant Welfare
society of Minneapolis, and Judge E.
F. Waite. of the Juvenile court of
Minneapolis. Future conferences
with representatives of other agen-
cies in st. Paul, Duluth, Fargo,
Minneapolis. Aberdeen, Sioux City,
Grand Forks, Helena, and Butte will
be held.
The Red Cross particularly urges
the Home Service sections of its
chapter, cities and other agencies to
use every preventative measure pos
sible in child welfare.
Assistance Promised.
THE program Of the Home Serv-
ice section of the Red Cross is sum-
med up in the promise given to every
man who enlists to protect the fam
lily against any form of disaster
which it might experience by reason
of the mans enlistment, so far as
the intelligence and resources of the
Red Cross chapter can do So" says
the bulletin. This means primarily
to see that the family income does
not fall below a decent measure of
support. The government in most
cases will insure an adequate income
for such families. The Red Cross
will supplement whenever 1t is
necessary.
This will insure to every man
who goes into the service of his
country that his family not only
will be taken care of in his alb
sence, but will receive an income
sufficient to safeguard to mis- family,
and particularly to his children, the
benefits OF education and home life,
which it is his ambition they enjoy.
Further than this the Home Serv-
ice section will attempt to prevent
