DR.. Livingston Farrand OF the Red
Cross executive committee spoke on
the establishment Of the health CEN
ter. Movements concerning infant
mortality, malnutrition of little chill,
dren, eradication of tuberculosis, den.
tai and health clinics and dispensaries
OF every existing organization are to
be correlated undr the name of the
American Red Cross in health centers
to b established in every community
throughout the country, DR.. Farrand
said:
1T would not be justice to the Red
Cross to say that 1t will in any way
displace these existing organizations
or that We are concerned in any way
with the disposal Of the Red Cross as
an agency. When we realized the war
work OF the Red Cross was drawing
to a close our question was, what
about this unparalleled energy that
was born out OF the war? Are there
any problems in the world to the solu.
ton Of which the Red Cross can con
tribute? Is there a field of usefulness
which would justify holding that en-
ergy for building up the country after
tho uarc, Thi. n,nvtian xraa a,L,al
In every country after the end of the
war and the answer was unhesitatingly
the same everywhere. The field of use
fulness lies in the field of health and
prevention Of unnecessary death and
disease"
DR.. Farrand described conditions as
they exist in the country today when
100000 babies die annually, zOO,0 900
persons die of tuberculosis and 2,OOO,-
600 persons are suffering from the
same disease. Examinations of draft
boards during the war discovered that
one-third of the men Of fighting age
were disabled because of their health.
These conditions" said DR.. Far
rand, "are sapping the life blood of
the American people. If they persist
they will undermine the vitality of our
people,"
The plan set forth by DR.. Farrand
provides for the correlation Of all ex-
listing welfare and health organiza
lions under the Red Cross. The REQ
Cross will be n large clearing house
through which these organizations
function. 1t will be a health center
which might consist Of one room In
a small community or a building in
a large city, but 1t will be the one
agency ready to support the work of
every other agency. If an organization
wishes to establish a clinic, the Red
Cross will provide a place for that
clinic. II another society wants to
start a movement to supervise health
of school children, the Red Cross will
have the nurses.
IF the Red Gross can get behind
this movement Of strengthening and
c~orrelating all health movements de-
clared DR.. Farrand, "it will be the
greatest task the Red Cross has ever
performed. If the Red Cross can pro-
mote this movement to stamp out USE
less, needless, ~preventable disease, it
will mean more for the welfare of the
people than winning the war. This
is the most worthwhile job in the
world"
