hospitals, and ultimately to base hos

ShQdott,s ON
the Screen

Rebuilding Broken Lives" is the
title of the first of series of pictures
which will be issued by the American
Red Cross in one reel form.
1t is probable that only few people
outside official life and the army abroad
have conception of. the gigantic tasks
assigned by the Allied powers to the
American Red Cross. Through it's bu-
reau of pictures, recently organized by
Joseph Johnson, the American Red
Cross now aims to tell this story on the
screen. The bureau has the coopera-
ton of f. f. Albee and John J. Muir
dock, of the United Booking Offices,
who have arranged to release Red
Cross War Work films through the
Keith and allied theatres all over Amer
lea. This will enable all who have con-
tributed to the cause of mercy to be-
hold the results of Red Cross work in
France, Italy, Belgium, the Balkans and
the Far East and to share in the pride
Americans may justly possess in a
record work for humanity. The pict
ures will definitely point to big recon-
struction work abroad, which will be-
come the new labor of the Red Cross.

The Red Cross needs well trained
workers who can volunteer their SER
vices to the Department Of Civilian
Relief for home service, among the
families of the men enlisted in our
army and navy. 1t is for the purpose
of training these workers that in
stitutes have been held in the various
cities of the country.
A thorough knowledge Of all the re-
sources of the community which may
be drawn upon to meet the various
needs of the families deprived of their
usual support is necessary to enable
the workers to render adequate and
intelligent service.
This course will consist of twenty
four lectures beginning February -,
with weekly quizzes, collateral read
ing and at least twenty-five hours OF
supervised field work each week. 1t
will require the full time of the stu
lent and is primarily for workers
from the district adjacent to Cincin-
matt, covering Southern Ohio, South
eastern Ohio and Kentucky.
A certificate will be granted by the
American Red Cross to those mem
bers of the institute course who COM
|plete the work with credit, and in the
field work show qualities and apti-
.udes fitting them to assume RESPONSE
bilty in home service.
A Cincinnati chapter certificate will
be granted to the members of the
chapter course who fulfill all require
ments as to lectures and field work
and who show natural fitness for the
work of civilian relief.
The Executive Committee would
like for some of our Mason county
ladies to attend this institute and will
consider any applications that may be
made. Applicants are requested to
apply at the Chamber of Commerce
for information pertaining to the in
stitute.
