RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross Is carrying
on a wide program of service for the
disabled World War veterans receiving
treatment in United States Public
Health hospitals, and those being train
ed through agencies of the Federal
Board for Vocational Education.
In each of the Public Health Service
hospitals Red Cross workers devote
their time TO the general welfare of
the service men from the day they
enter the receiving ward until they
are discharged. After the soldiers dis
charge the Red Cross continues It's
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains a GONZALES
cen house at all OF the hospitals,
where patients can amuSe themselves
after they are We'll enough to be up
and around. Parties and picture shows
In the wards are also furnished, with
occasional excursions when GONZALES
cence comes.
Great service has been rendered by
the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
tifying those who have appeared In
state hospitals for the insane, and help
ing them secure compensation due from
the Bureau of War pisk Insurance.
In the Federal Boards various dis
trict Offices the Red Cross worker, act
ing with the Home Service Section,
makes necessary loans to the men, ar
ranges suitable living conditions, helps
collect evidence and supply facts TO the
Board, assists in %"appealing cases" and
settles various personal difficulties for
the men. The workers also follow up
and aid all men who discontinue train
ing.
The Red Cross agents find men Cost"
to the Board, help clear up delayed
cases and aid the college counselors In
their friendly work with the men.
Many Red Cross chapters have set up
recreation facilities. ana in some in
stances living clubs. SO these victims
Of war may have attractive surround
ings and the fun which must go with
effective school work.

not, however, Of recent origin. Long
before the war the organization began

units in disaster relief work and It's

ing. During the war and following
he armistiCe thousands Of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease in the war-stricken countries.
AT the same time tens Of thousands Of
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gagged at home fighting disease, nota-
bly, during the influenza epidemics.
The American Ped Cross has de-
termincd that all this valuable expert
ence in health service abroad and at
holne shall not go 10 waste. SO long
as there are a half a million people
dying yearly In this country from pre-
ventahlc causes, and SO long as more
than one-third Of the American chill
dren and young people are victims Of
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
ni2es the urgent need for continued

The Red Cross Health Center is,

In many interesting and attractive
ways-frSt Of all. by the distribution
Of popular health literature and
through health lectures illustrated with
lantern slides or with health motion

given, one after the other, on various
health subjects. Practical demonstra-
