Dear Friends: My attention
has been called to the very kind
offer of our Executive Committee
at Nashville to multigraph and
mail copies of letters which any
of the missionaries send to them
for that purpose. 1t is an espec-
ially welcome kindness, for each
one of us wants to keep in touch
with our friends and to write a
letter such as one wants to forall
the friends back home takes a
good deal of time and sending
letters from place to place here is
quite a different thing from doing
that at home because of the un-
certainty Of their reaching their
destination. This seems an es-
pecially good plan also becauseof
the possibility of having the same
good luck one person did who
wrote these individual letters to
everybody" from France during
the war. Rev. Edward Lane of
Christiansburg, Virginia, was in
Y. M. G. A. work in France when
one of his friends conceived the
idea of assisting bin in his cor
respondence by multigraphing
his letters which Mr.. Lanes sis
ter then sent out to many inter
ested friends. Mr.. Lane said he
found that he had a great many
more letters in his mail than he
otherwise would. That is the
good luck which dare hope will
fall to my lot. -sOf course during
the war we were told that we
ought to help keep up the morale
of the soldiers by writing often,
which was another way of saying
that they must be epthappy and
satisfied as far as lay in our pow
er. Don't get the idea that the
soldiers in France were the only
ones whose morale needed to be
kept up. If you will think of nle
as a soldier-ess down here who
thinks about the folks back al
home quite as often as the boys
over there did and hosechance'
of getting mail quickly are mucl
smaller, then you will realizetha
even a circular from the States
would be preferable to continued
silence and the joy of getting

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 beneht In very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri.
can Red Cross. Almost all OF the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections in their territory. There
fore the Red Gross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv.
ice IL to assist people to get out Of life
more health. wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one Of the
biggest needs In rural life. There 10
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 a 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 q 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 IL to lend a hand everywhere
