HOME SERVICE

Mrs. Katherine NJ. Briggs, director
of the Home Service department of
the Chicago Red Cross, was in the
city the past week, and lectured to
Wausau women on Wednesday on
Home Service work.
The speaker urged all those inter
ested in this work in Wausau to form
a firm and effective Home Service
organization, which activity has been
founded for the purpose Of caring
for emergency conditions at home,
coming up because of the war. ).
Mrs. Briggs during the course of
her talk, divided the Red Cross ac-
tivity into two large divisions, mill
tary and civilian. When war was
first declared the Red Cross organiza-
ton turned its attentions Immediately
to the soldiers, as they needed vari-
Gus military necessities, such as COM
forts for camp life, hospital supplies,
ETC. After this work was running
along smoothly and a great deal had
been accomplished, then the Red
Cross went into foreign or overseas
service and home service.
The foreign service Is the work
being done by our Red Cross workers
for the families of the war districts,
in the way of assisting in the re-
building of towns and villages. pro-
viding OF clothing and other neces-
sary things, medical care, getting
families on footing again, so to
speak, that they may be able to help
themselves enough, so as to be able
to get along.

of patriotic duty, as well as human

Red Cross to care for the lonely fam
lilies of our fighting men. The famil-
les of the American soldiers must not
be allowed to bear personal privation,
and so double the willing sacrifices
these noble men have made. To the
folks at home the Home Service
must mean, no less surely, the neigh
borly counsel and aid which will
keep these families in good spirits,
health and comfort. The Home Ser
vice of the Red Cross must be the
nations assurance that no soldier or
sailors family shall suffer for any
essential thing that can be given them.
Another responsibility, will be the
looking after of disabled soldiers af-
ter the war, and also during the war.
There will be many unable to return
to their former line of work after
being at the front, due to some dis
ability, and will have to take up some
new work suited to them. These
men will be cared for by governmental
re-educational hospitals, but after
their training, they will have to be
given start. The Home Service
department of the Red Cross will
take it upon themselves to see that
each one gets the start again.
The lecturer also urged co-opera-
ton in this line of work and stated
that it could not be worked out sue
cessfully unless all helped and CO.
operated.
Miss Agnes Wilson of Milwaukee,
who has been here in charge of the
class in Home Service, completed her
work here the past week, also at

Friday evening. The interested work.
ers, who have received thorough in
struction in Home Service work here,
will now proceed to organize for re-
lief work along this line.

HEAVY RAIN

The heavy rain storms of Thursday
and Friday, at which time nearly two
inches of rain fell, raised the river
five feet and it looked as if we were
going to have real spring freshet,
but as no more rain has fallen, the
river has dropped two feet since that
time. The heavy thunder storm made
some trouble with the telephone SER
vice outside of the city. In the city
there was no trouble as the wires are
underground and in cables. At Mer-
rill we learn there were 500 cases
of telephone trouble. Wausau has
very little trouble compared with
other cities.
