weeks given by the Red Cross Home
Service, are spreading broadcast in
their calls UPON the families of men
in the service Of the flag.
Institutes for the instruction Of
these workers are being conducted by
this branch of the Red Cross. A six
weeks' course of training which pre-
pares the volunteer worker not only
to be of service to the families of the
men in the country's fighting forces
but also to the soldiers themselves,
who may need assistance and de-edu-
cation. Definite programs of re-edu-
cation and industrial REIMBURSEMENT
will be necessary in cases of crippled
soldiers. but the more pressing needs
of the moment are those of the fami-
lies of the men. many of whom must
have expert advice in the absence of
the family head.
