JUNIOR RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans,
milk for anaemic Greek babies, car
penters' tools. for Czecho- Slovakian
cripples-these are only few Of the
gifts that young Americans are send
ing to the war-crushed children of the
Old World.
Through the Junior Red Cross the
boys and girls Of the United States
are giving fresh start In life to little
war orphans scattered all over Europe.
They have set up orphans homes In
France, school colonies I'm Belgium and
Montenegro, and day schools in AL
bania.
They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges In Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
a hundred orphans of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools In or
phanages and farm schools up and
down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards of American Juniors.
Last winter thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months In warmer parts Of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having hot lunch every
day ut Junior Red Cross school can
teens.
American school children have al
ready raised something like q million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
In China, through campaigns Of ed
ucation, the Junior REQ Cross is help
ing to combat widely prevalent blind
ness and cholera.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
/. Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In very
large part by the public health and
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose of Rural Serv-
ice Is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
both children and adults play 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.
Picnics, pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action
AS result of community organiZa-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest In
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
/ lie comfort stations is being met. Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreational activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort In carrying on the programs Of
/ the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
/ ice helps the organizations already on
! the ground. The main object Of the
service Is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
Sary.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion Of the 20,0OO,-
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
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.
The money expended by the Red
Gross 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
iican tractors and other farming imple-
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- In blowing the land.
BY the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad-
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, II
Is believed, the people Will have ap-
preached normal state of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and its department
of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve Of nurses for the army and
navy. It will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which Ii has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has Or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was in It's infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least a decade
through the work of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex.
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a

ing with other organizations In a years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, In educating the gen.
eral public as to standards of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools OF
nursing. 1t will endeavor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet
les, in developing nutritional clinics
and In supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity Of securing instruction ir
home hygiene and care Of the sick In
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun
dalton for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab
lishment of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the wOrl
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d
Noyes, director of the department o.
nursing, sit Is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to its respon
slbility. The American Red Cros.
stands ready to help In a general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well a!
the intelligent cooperation of thu
people at large"
