-since the beginning of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
xThe money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer

Rural communities and towns of Iess

Briefly, the purpose of Rural Sary-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public hearth instruction
and general educational progress of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life. There is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
eRicnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring

been neither plans nor interest in
