RED CROSS TO
CONTINUE WORK
OF HOME SERVICE

The Gardiner Red Cross home sery-
ice section delegation passed Thurs
day, April "a, n Boston, attending
the conference Of the chapters Of the
New England Division of The A.neri-
can Fed Cross. The delegation was
composed Of Mrs. Charles II. Gray
ana J. Walter Robinson. They re-
port that, for home service workers,
the most significant event Of the
conference was the new conception
Of home service brought out n the
address Of J. Byron Deacon. acting
director general Of civilian relief al
national headquarters. and in the
open discussion by the delegates
which followed his address.
The announcement recently made
by The Red Cross that home service
would continue its work with civil
ians. where such work was needed
after the war emergency obligations
had been met, was discussed. The
general function Of home service. Mr.
Deacon said. IS TO help families who
face nlsfortunes.
The grave difficulties mean he
continued, are not merely those of
the vicious. the shiftless. the ne-er-
do-well-charitys objects-but Of the
people who are ordinarily independ-
enr and seif-respecting. who have
come upon evil days. OF course.
many Of these families have friends
10 whom they can turn in their ex-
creInity. But there are many who
are not so fortunate. The latter SUI
fer needlessly.
'It was TO prevent and minimize
such loss in soldiers and sailors
families that home service was es-
and il is designed to ex-
tend that service 10 civilian families
as well. A child falls sick and
nurse or a doctor is needed. A moth
er dies. leaving children to and fos-
ter homes. A mill closes: the father
is thrown out Of work; his savings
are exhausted: his credit likewise
and a loan must be made OF credit
A young man develops
and would gladly go 10
a sanitorium if he knew OF its exist
ence or the terms upon which he
would be accepted. A lad becomes
unruiy and his distracted parents
would gladly accept the assistance OF
a man who understands and can IN
fuence children if he knew where
to turn for such assistance
