 sic, campfire and wartime songs. was we'll received by their Warren district audience.

AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

If you want anything that it isn't the Army's business to do for you, tell your troubles to the Red Cross Camp Service Man.

 Here is a diary of 8 typical day with one of these Red Cross Field Directors:
 Up with the bugle and on the job at 7;30 a. m. Issues instruction to the warehouse men for receiving and dis tributing supplies whether furniture, knitted garments or hospital equip ment. He may tell a warehouse man to move desks from the Red Cross office over to the Surgeons office until the Army furniture arrives. Then follows a conference with the Asso- ciate Field Director regarding home service work to be done for families of soldiers who have asked that the Red Cross take care of certain condi- tions among their dependents.
 a. m. finds him at Division Head quarters ready to investigate requests for discharge turned over to him by the Division Adjutant. In the case of each letter, the field director has a. local Red Cross Chapter investi gate the matter fully and is able to bring in report that the officer in charge knows can be relied upon in reaching a decision.
 Thence, to the office of the Judge Advocate Naturally a trouble center where possibly with the Chaplain, a case involving a wedding is investi- gated. Final decision insures com 1 plete justice to the man and to the 1 woman interested.
 Then to the Division Surgeons office to discuss Red Cross work in connection with the hospital or sani- tary conditions outside of the camp. In one such case the Red Cross Director promptly agreed to have a 1 big drainage ditch constructed out side of the camp.
 The Director hurries back to his office to glance over his mail in time to keep appointment with the Con-
