not the work of the Red Cross Is go
ing on You may state to thom that
this is an assured fact, and that 1t Is
probable that the Red Cross in some
directions will be en- a more enlarged
scale than it has ever hoon hefore
Upon MY arrival ! Commit hat Mrai
Gilhey chairman VT yonr cAantef ha5
Just received a letter nom Nj Al
fred Failbank, actnr manager OF the
southwestern division, urging upon
her the need of keeping the Red
Cross chapter organization intact
that they may be prepared to carry
on the extensive peace program Of
the Red Cross" said Mrs. Phren when
seen today.
"The Red Cross will continue to
function in three main directions
in foreign relief, in camp service and
in the four departments which will
carry on the peace activities in the
home communities. These four de-
PAYMENTS are home service, junior
membership. nursing and first aid.
That the need for foreign relief is
as great as ever IS shown in the fact
that the approximations of the Red
Cross for foreign relief have been
greater since fhe signing Of the ar.
mistce than at any previous tina
since our entry into the war. This
has resulted naturally from the open
ing up of many countries which could
not be reached during the war.
Camp service Is as essential and
as far reaching today as 1t has ever
been. Men are coming back into
the camps to be demoblized and
they must be cared for until they
reach home The wounded and con-
valescents are still in the camps and
hospitals and will be for many
months to come AS long az single
| lighting man remains in any hospital
in this country, the Red Cross is
pledged to stay on the job. They
have agreed to care for him as long
as he needs to be cared for and ia
make such provision that he will be
able to carry on future life's work
"The four operative departments OF
the Red Cross have a most interest
ing program to carry out in peace
times. The home service department
will continue to do for civilian fami
lies in those communities where there
is no established agency already do
ing this work. what it has done 81
successfully for the families of So
diers and sailors.
"The junior membership depar
