RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion Of the 10000.
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
Cross In this stricken portion of En-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphapages, dispensaries. mobile medl
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple
ments have been sent to the agricuf-
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will have withdrawn.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 a normal state OF living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
VI to provide for themselves.

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 a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all OF the
1900 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 heath 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 Is
lack of sufficient play-llfe 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 a result
of community meetings, as well as cir
eulating 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 a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
Sary.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far Away
Enthusiastic Members Of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic .nt
energetic members of the American
hed cross are those citizens OF ,hs
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their countrv
SONS ana daughters of the Stars and
stripes residing at the fur corners OF
the earth.
lheSe people compose the lnsular
ana Foreign Division of the parent or.
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska.
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands. the
fhlilpplnes, Guam. and even the is.
land OF zap, which came under our
nag as result Of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
8O,8OS paid up members.
The main object of this division is
10 give our citizens everywhere the Oh.
portunity to participate in the work
OF the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
IN far places intensely LOYAL and m.
triotic. treasure their membership In
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston of their citizenship. 1t is an.
other tie to the homeland and to
each other There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
brazii. Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatenala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru. Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members Of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions In money, and millions
of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men in service and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service ip their respective
communities for the families of those
who had gone to war, and In some re-
gions gave large sums of money and
personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit Of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans TO aid

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits community
fire, flood, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately forthcomlng-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June 80,
there was an average of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty-seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes In Mississippi,
Louisiana, Alabama. Georgia, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1,500 were injured,
$4,000 were made homeless, about 3d.
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly $100,000.000 and al
most 100000 in relief funds, not In
Guiding emergency supplies was ex.
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth Of sup.
plies, no Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them In every way.

RED CROSS ASSISTS
DISABLED VETERANS

The American Red Cross is carrying
on 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 Its
friendly service through the Home
Service Section in his own community.
The Red Cross maintains GONZALES
cent 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 nsnvales-
Scence comes.
EssH feA' service has Eaen rendered by

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 lost
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
