what will you do if we have an.
other epidemic of flu?"
This is the question that is being
answered daily by DR.. E. L. Morgan,
national director of the Red Gross
Bureau of Organization, in the Gulf
Division. From community to COM
munity, DR.. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was be-
fore the Home Service Institute at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he said
that the question of preparation for
epidemics is of paramount impor-
lance.
IF a district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because Of
impure water" said DR.. Morgan,
treat the case as though you were
acting for a family. Consult the
public health officials, and the sani-
tary and legal forces, and get the
community back of you to carry out
the necessary reforms"
DIR. Morgan's tour is principally in
the interests of the rural community
the community which is getting
such a large share of attention in the
Red Cross Peace Time Program. The
Home Service sections of the Red
Cross are to have a great part in
this work and it is expected that
public health will be improved to a
great extent through their co-opera-
ton with Red Cross public health
nurses.
Look around your own town."
DIR. Morgan told the Red Cross work
ers, land see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirty and unsani-
tary. If the death rate is too high,
there is a reason-and you must find
out that reason. All of the people
are stockholders in the community,
and their stock improves or depre-
ciates according TO the condition in
which their property is kept, and the
property improves in proportion with
the person who owns it.

Relief Committee, recently explained
by Harry L. Hopkins, director of
Civilian Relief, Gulf Division, Amer
lean Red Gross, is the great body of
straight-thinking, quick-acting, de-
pendable persons, organized in each
community to meet disasters which
arise, be they floor, fire, famine, ex-
plosions, shipwreck, or earthquake.
In the thirty-eight years since the
American Red Cross was first or
ganized in 1881, it has participated
in $50 disaster relief expeditions at
home and abroad and has expended
or directed the expenditure of twelve
and half million dollars This COW
ers the period up to June 1st, 1919,
the end of the fiscal year.
America averages a dozen disas-
tiers a year. Latest statistics COM
piled by the Gulf Division, American
Red Gross, show twelve disasters,
and the Red Cross gave relief in ev-
cry one!
In this immediate territory there
were grave disasters in recent years
the Gulf States storm in 1906, the
Mississippi cyclone in 1907, the Mis-
sissippi flood in 1912 and the second
flood in 1914. Then there was an
other flood in Natchez in 1916, and
more floods and the boil weevil men,
ace in Alabama in 1917. In fact,
1917 was a bad year for disasters in
the South, for during the summer the
tornadoes at Village Springs and Car
bon Hill and New Hope, Alabama,
brought about much suffering Ev-
erybody in this vicinity remembers
the Lake Charles, Louisiana, storm in
1918, in which the Gulf Division Red
Cross furnished such great aid, and
at which time Harry L. Hopkins, di-
director of civilian relief, went to
Lake Charles and directed the cree
ton of the tent city. A total of
S23, 900 was expended in this disas-
ter alone. And in 1919 the Corpus
Christi, Texas, storm was robbed of
much of its horror through the
prompt action of the Red Cross.
Of these ten disasters in the Gulf |
Division in recent years, the Red |
Cross has given supplies and spent |
money to the extent of approx |
