THE RED CROSS
To The Editor:-I am sorry to
hear from some of our "boys over
there that some refused to give to
such a noble cause, they say what Is
the use now that the war is over.
Has the war returned our boys in
perfect health? Far from it, there
are many blinded comrades, who
are being helped by this grand order
to learn a trade that they may earn
an honest living without begging
army occupation, comprising Of IT,
0O0 officers and men? These must
be cared for.
We are beginning to learn the les
son of preparedness. Before the war
we were not prepared to take care
of our own suffering in cyclone and
/ flooded districts as we should. If
such should visit our town, are we
ready to take care of the suffering? 4?
Let us be prepared to help wherever
necessary.
Then our Red Cross nurses, who
worked tirelessly in order to give aid
to the suffering boys over there.
Last year 100000 American babies
died before they were a year old
/ the slaughter of such innocents is
/ largely due to the ignorance and in
difference among the unlearned, our
nurses are being sent among such
people to teach them how to take
care of their suffering until a physi-
clan can be had. Such Red Cross
nurses are playing a very important
part all over the world, especially in
our communities. More could be
done if we had the nurses. There is
cry for 1 900 more to take up this
noble work for the public health Of
| America.
There are many more things which
could be said of this noble order.
Our boys who called on you could
tell you more about it through their
experience. How can you refuse
these boys whom you gave so much
praise before leaving your own town
for the battlefield. Now they are
home and to be refused by you.
Think it over my friends you will
not know how much good your dollar
will do. The Roll Call is on. Is
your name written there?
