AMERICAN RED GROSS
 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, betIefit in a very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the Ameri- can Red Cross. Almost all of the $500 Red Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. There fore, the Red Cross Rural Service.
 Briefly, the purpose of Rural Sery- ice Is to assist people to get out of life more health. wealth and happiness In this purpose public heaith 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 piay-life for the chil- 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 Tn which there had been neither plans nor interest in community progress have been organ ized 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 a 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 recreauonal 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 a 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 OOO- 900 population of the Balkan States might have starved or perished 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, Alhanfa, 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 Cross in this stricken portion of Etl- 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 tra ctors and other farming impIe- ments have been sent to the agricul- tural regions where aid has been giv- 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, it is believed, the people will have ap- preached a normal state of living and will be able through their own agencies which the Red Cross has helped set mp te provide for themselves.

JUNIOR RED CROSS
 ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans, milk for anaemic Greek babies, car penters' tools for Czecho- o-Slovaki cripples-these are only a 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 a fresh start in life to little war orphans scattered all over Europe They have set up orphans homes in France. school colonies in 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 a thousand French chil- 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 at Junior Red Cross school can teens.
 American school children have aI- ready raised something like a million dollars for these enterprises, and they are still hard at work.
 In China, through campaigns of ed ucation. the Junior Red Cross Is help- ing to combat widely prevalent blind ness and cholera.
