NO SPIRIT OF CHARITY

There is one point that is stressed by the Red Cross. There must be no air or atmosphere of charity about that work which it is privileged to do for those whom it serves. While fi- nancial assistance will be given for home service sections of Red Cross chapters to tide over emergency needs of families, home service is essentially not relief in the sense of money pay ments, or doles of food and clothing,
 The war risk insurance law has made necessary financial provision for de- pendent wives or other relatives of men in service. Home service aims to make those whom it serves, as far as possi- ble, both self-reliant and self-suffi- cient.
 From the returned soldier, the man in service, or from a member of his family, or some one competent to speak for them, is learned the necessity for service. Home service does not intrude itself It goes to no family without a definite introduction or invitation And above all trained workers are im- pressed with the fact that this is no charity. It is a privilege which the Red Cross enjoys.
 That is just another reason why the American Red Cross is mighty close to the hearts of the people of the world who are fighting the battles of liberty. Also it is another reason why the call
