Cross nurse to conduct classes and in
that way reach all the women of the
community.
THE other phase of the health pro-
gram calls for one or more Red Cross
nurses in every county who have not
only had professional nursing qualifi-
cations and experience, but who have
been especially instructed by the Red
Cross in community work. The types
of nursing which will be engaged in
are bedside nursing, prenatal and
maternity nursing, infant welfare
child welfare, school nursing and tu-
berculosis.
Any one who has followed the Red
Cross activities knows that prior to
the war first aid was one of the prac-
teal features of its work. In spite
of precautions there will always be

The social service work of the Red

are now working with the men of the

for the social needs of the entire COM
munity when it is not adequately done.

RED CROSS TO
PLAN GREATER
HOME SERVICE
PENSACOLA CHAPTER Is RATED
HIGH BY SOUTHERN DIVISION
AND PROPOSES TO INCREASE
ACTIVITIES.

A cleaner Pensacola with public
health, first aid, social service and
school activities embraced in broad
program of helpfulness is the message
which r. s. Reese, of the southern
division of the Red Cross. has brought
to Pensacola. The city stands high
in its chapter work, in the efficiency
of its officers and in every campaign
of helpfulness which they have waged.
A public health nurse. however, is one
of the great essentials yet to be
gained
Let's prevent preventable death is
the way Mr.. Reese stresses the work
which he would have done in Pensa-
cola.
while our war program is not yet
completed he said, 'and it will prob
ably take year or more to complete
it, at this time il is necessary for
US to continue our peace-t time program
as well.
1T is possibly a fact that relief
work in foreign countries has been
increased since the signing of the
armistice. The Red Cross is indeed
busy. There are between two and three
thousand disabled soldiers who must
have every attention and the work
OF the Red Cross will continue. In
the foreign work prior to the armis-
t1ce this was largely confined to
France, Belgium and Italy where now
Red Cross commissions are active
from the eastern coast of the Atlantic
to the Pacific coast of Siberia Thus
you will see that our war work is not
finished, but it took this war work for
the Red Cross to realize its great po-
tentialities and to form definite
peace program which would not only
be idealistic, but practical This pro-
gram is not mere theory, but has been
worked out by experienced men and
women and embraces primarily pub
lie health, first aid, social service and
school activities.

executed, and every good thing con-
templated can be had right here in
PENSACOLA and Escambia county.
Public health is probably the most
important feature of the peace pro-
gram. We hope to inaugurate a great
