Department Of Military Relief will

not be needed.
At those camps where military hos
pitfalls are maintained it is believed
that the hospitals will be continued
because of absolutely necessary con.
ditions. The service of the Depart
ment of Military Relief, will, there
fore, be continued in its entirety until
such time in the future as the Home
Service and Hospital work in the
| camps will be discontinued
The Canteen work will be three
fold; |. All demobilized men will be
met on their homeward journey. 2.
These men will also be met in their
home towns and given a cordial well
come by this department.. 3. The
wounded on the way to hospital will
, be met on their journeys and cared
for as needed
The Motor Service will also con-
! tlnue its work as at present and as
all demands upon this division which
were made by war will still be in
force during the immediate future as
well as in the actual present, the val
liable services rendered by the Mo.
tor Corps members will be continued.
No one feature of Red Cross work
IN war has been more important than
the Nursing Service and it is of deep
| significance to note that the Depart
ment OF Nursing, with its mobiliza-
| ton OF trained nursing service and
the Chapter organizations of women,
have the tremendous responsibility
and opportunity of carrying univer-
| health Cd
way and byway throughout the Di-
VISION. Home Nursing, Dietetics,
Physical Training. and many other
agencies, which increase efficiency
and happiness, should be made avail
able to every individuals; and. as the
Department of Nursing has dis
charged beyond all expectations it's
responsibilities in War, so may it al
so be able to carry through the COM
ing months the message of health
for increased efficiency throughout
| the Division, and deeper apprecia-
ton of the grave responsibilities of
Peace
In accordance with the Red Cross
creed all elements for service have
been utilized, and when the Junior
Red Gross Membership was organic
1t was positively asserted that this or
ganlzatlon, born in time of war was
more thal a mobilization of the re-
sources of youth for the needs of
peace. To inspire and instruct the
young OF our nation in the beauty of
service, and to vitalize these instruct
IONS by practical work are an exalted
undertaking. 1t is one which the Tu-
NOR Red Cross will continue and en-
courage and which deserves the sup
port and cooperation of every adult
in the land
zlhls brief outline of the plans and
purposes of the Red Cross means
that the Department of DEVELOPMENT
OF the Southern Division has been in
structed to relax no efforts to in
crease the scope of usefulness of the
various Red Cross Chapters for i
mas been expressly stated that the
workers of the Red Cross will not be
Iallowed to overlook the new and in
creased tasks that will be imposed
upon it. AS the organization is one
not confined to the needs of war, sc
its work will be extended to cover
the emergencies as we'll as the nor
NAL demands of peace. Hence the
Department of Development feels
| that its work may be changed bu
in no way lessened To insure sue.
cess, development is imperative; tt
lstadn still means to retrograde and nc
department of the Red Cross essen.
tial to peace work will be permitted tc
endanger its scope, its usefulness OF
it's influence.
