The Arizona State Council
Of Defense Calls Attention
to Matters Of Importance

During the present time above
all, it has become evident how
absolutely necessary it is to
husband all of our resources, to
practice the strictest economy
and to prevent all waste and
energy. Our people have been
banded together into one vast
army and the various Councils of
Defense point out to this army
different lines along which it's
energies are to be employed for
the attainment of victory.
Following out the requests o f
those in charge is an absolute
duty and neglecting these behests
is as much a traitorous act as the
refusal of the soldier at the front
to obey orders.
What is true of the individual
soldier is true of the entire army
and what is asked Of the people
of this State as a whole is re-
quested of the individual citizen.
We are in receipt of letter
from Mr.. Dwight B. Heard of
the Arizona State Council of De-
fense regarding the attitude of
the people required of the State
of Arizona and the visitors of the
gates of this commonwealth to-
ward Forest fires. Mr.. Heard
says in part:
Il am convinced that the
people of Arizona appreciate so
thoroughly the great advantage
to the state of the maintenance
and development Of the forests
and their protection from de-
struction fire, that you will find
everywhere a willingness on the
part of all citizens to be of every
assistance in fire protection and
prevention, and on behalf of the
State Council Of Defense
strongly urge all those who use
the forests to discourage the
burning of brush on mountain
homesteads during the fire
season, and l urge upon all cam

A member of the women's uniformed
corps drove us in her machine ont to a
camp where there are 10000 men.
Here we met the Red Cross Home
Service man. We didn't take his time
we just watched him. One moment
ne was helping man to fill out dupli-
cate allotment blanks; the next he
was arguing the merits of insuring to

from nome to see the commanding Off

was speeding on his way a poor fellow

jury; then we saw him talking tn a
soldier and girl wife at the hostess'
house; and as the shadows fell he was
clOseted with worried chap, who was
telling him about an impending mort
gage foreclosure and an expected baby.
V.
Later the same evening we saw hi,C
stand up in the Liberty theater and.
his eyes glowing with the service pic-
ture in his own mind and his voice
ringing with the conviction of his own
enthusiasm, tell thousand young fell
lows what Home Service is. He paint

"What forT l said as l rose to
greet the man l had known in my

Home Service. Something useful and
human? Why, in a week this thing

and sleep it,"
The Home Service Section of q big
Red Cross chapter was in session. AS
Smith and arrived they were discuss
ing the problem of soldiers wife and
six children found living in two tene-
ment rooms in a building that rad been
condemned because of a leaky roof,
mOuldy floor and lack of fire protection.
They had sold most of their furniture
piece by piece for current living ex-
penses. The children had no change of
clothing. There was no income and, be-
cause of the mothers condition, no pos
gibility of one, except the expected allOt-
ment and allowance, which even when
it came would not entirely meet the cost
of living in the city. The Home Service
worker had given a generous sum of
money to meet the urgent needs, and
now the committee was planning to
rent better quarters, move the fami
ly, secure medical and nursing atten-
tion for the woman, outfit them all
with clothing and furniture and keep
regularly in touch with the family.
III.
In Smiths next case the Home Serv-
ice Section and the tuberculosis society
had arranged hospital care for a man
discharged because Of tuberculosis
contracted "in the line Of duty"
Some attorney had told him he would
get compensation for him on fifty-fif-
ty basis, but the lawyer-member of the
Home Service Section helped him fill
out the proper form which the Red
Cross office supplied and assured him
that no discharged soldier or soldiers
beneficiary should ever pay for col
