EMERGENCY BUREAUS
ARE ESTABLISHED
TOCOMbAT THE FLU
Red Cross To Assist Civilian
Communities And
Health Boards

Emergency bureaus to assist civil
ian communities and state boards of
health in combating the influenza epi-
demlc are to be Immediately establish
ed at Columbus, Indianapolis and
Louisville by the Lake division Red
Cross committee on influenza.
This was decided at Lake division
headquarters, Cleveland, at confer
ence to which representatives of the
state boards of health of Ohio. Indiana
and Kentucky had been sent in re-
sponse to an invitation from Division
Manager b. +. Bourne.
The Lake division, in the past two
weeks, has assigned hundreds of
nurses to military camps as well as
cities and towns stricken with the ep-
,idemic, but 1t was determined at the
conference that the Increased need for
nurses and the necessity for prompt
ly assigning nurses to influenza work
could be more effectively carried ont
by setting up emergency bureaus in
each state.
These state emergency bureaus, ac.
cOrding to u recommendation adopted
at the conference, will search out ev-
cry agency through which nurses can
be secured and who can be released
from other duties" They are to use
all measures at their command to con
vince nurses, now engaged in private
work, to make sacrifice, if necessary,
in order to assist in the fight against
the disease The bureaus will make
every effort to secure widest possible
publicity OF the existing need for
nurses for this work
The hope was expressed at the con
ference that nurses could be made to
see that nursing civilians i'll with in
fuenza is just as important a patriotic
and Red Cross duty as nursing soldiers

and sailors. 1t was also pointed out
that many civilians are retaining so.
called luxury nurses" who could cas-
lily be spared to assist in the present
emergency.
Dr. Mccormick, representing the
Kentucky board of health, stated that
school teachers are being used as
nurses in that state.
No nurse will be assigned to inHuen-
"a work except upon the request of the
public health officer of the state, who
will receive applications for nurses
from the local health officer. The Red
Cross state emergency bureaus will
pay nurses. assigned upon the request
of the public health officer, the author
lied salary and expenses. Additional
compensation, If any, in this emergen-
cy is to be paid by state boards of
health or by local Red Cross chapters.
The conference brought out clearly
the fact that civilian communities and
local Red Cross chapters should ex.
haust their own resources before ap-
pealing for outside help, due to the
tremendous drain upon the nursing
and medical forces.
A. f. Bentley, assistant manager for
the Lake division In Indiana, was
named to take charge OF the emergen-
cy bureau at indianapolis and X. G.
