Work for humanity, that q new pro.
gram has been outlined along the
lines of which each chapter may work
to aid the folks at home.
This program makes a number of
suggestions, and gives each chapter
a more or less free rein as to the
things it will choose as most badly
needed in that particular locality. For
instance, there is the loan closet"
These closets will be we'll stocked with
such supplies as pajamas, night
gowns. slippers. bathrobes, baby lay
cites, and the like, so that poor fam
flies. suddenly stricken by illness, may
borrow what they need, returning
the materials when the emergency has
been tided over. The articles then
can be sterilised and replaced in the
loan chest" for use on other ocoa-
sions.
Another suggestion is that of max.
ing hospital supplies, surgical dress
ings and the like, just as in the black
days of the war. These will be used
not only for the military hospitals still
in operation. but for civilian relief
hospitals, for charity hospitals. and
for free clinics.
