Community Interests

| Not as large a crowd as was ex
pectcd attended the meeting Fri
day night, called to discuss mat
tiers of community interest, fol-
the most part because the nature
of the call was not understood.
The meeting was called by the
delegates who attended the State
meeting held in Alexandria the
week before, the object being to
stimulate community interests and
to keep the spirit alive.
Mr.. L. +. Hudson presided as
chairman and a splendid musical
program was given under the dl.
rection of Mr.. Alexander. with
two violins and organ as &C.
compartment, a number of the
old songs being sung with much
gusto and enjoyment. Mr.. Hedges
gave a splendid talk on what the
community should be.doing along
the lines Of recreation. Mr.. j. D.
Rusca gave some excellent sug-
gestions about the community's
duty in looking after employment
for returned soldiers while Messrs.
Carver. Roy and Judge Cunning
ham talked about community life
most interestingly.
The meeting was productive of
4 great deal of good and it was
decided that an effort would be
made to awaken broader interest
IN matters that concern each and
every citizen of Natchitoches,
whom it was hoped would attend
~ next meating that would be
held ne latter pafl of tie month

In the meanwhile q committee

The women OF the nation should
not "demobilize" even after the
peace treaty is signed. They
should stand together with their
courage and guns and cannon of
peace, with the seeing eye and the
understanding heart for the great
problems ahead. There are many
deeds yet e be accomplished ard

Work Of the Home Service Sec
ton of the American
Red Cross

|. :tMany people have the idea that tn
work of the American Red Cross
about over row that the War is won
70 be sure some departments of tn
work are over, but there is a grea
program ahead that the Red Cross ha
set her self to and by no means tn,
least in this task is the work of tn,
Home Service Sections that are to b,
found in all of the Chapters.
| In order that the extent of Home
Service may be appreciated, the fol
lowing statistics complied by the the
Gulf Division are are given out. "There
36l8 Chapter Home Service Section:
! and l1,l9O Home Service Branches in
the United States. Home Service is
carried on in all of the 1873 cities of the
United States of population of 8, OOC
or over, and in 2845 Chapter towns of
population of less than 5000. More
than 100000 soldiers and sailors fami-
lies have come to these Home Service
Sections for information, counsel or
service. Approximately 10000 men
and women have served as members of
Home Service Sections, all but 1400
having served as volunteers. In Louis
lana there are 66 Home Service Sec
tons and Sc Branches During the
month of January 1919, 441s families
were assisted by them
The most impressive indication of
the wonderful work that has been &C
complished by the Red Cross workers
is the demand from all parts of the
Country that Home Service be con-
tinued. 1t is in response to this de-
mand, which has come especially from
the Gulf Division, that decision has
been made to continue this activity
and extend the scope of it's work upon
the basis of the following principles:
l. Home Service Sections are author
lied to extend to any families such
forms of counsel and service as are
now being provided to soldiers and
sailors families, upon certain condi
lions.
2. Home Service Sections will ex-
tend any part or the whole Of their
services to civilian families, as they
have to soldiers and sailors families, |
upon the principle that action by the
Section in any case shall be responsive
rather than initiatory.
Work with individuals and families
eads naturally to other activities of
service nature. Home Ser
vice workers will no doubt be interested
IN community needs along lines of rec
'eation, education, sanitation, anti
work and othed similar
From this it is seen that the work of
he Home Service Sections will be con-
;iderably enlarged. TO do the enlarged
york and to keep up with the many
that come upon Home Ser
ice Workers in regard to families of
oldiers and sailors it is necessary that
efficient workers be trained to do the
FORK intelligently. The Chairman of
be Home Service Section of this chap
er spent five weeks this winter in
[ome Service Institute that he might /
arm how to do THIS work intelligently.
