HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross is?
Many people do not know that, be.
sides completing the work for ex-sery-
ice men, especially the disabled, it pro,
vides the same neighborly service to
families in general that it formerly
marines.
Home Service covers a wide and
varied field" says Frederick c. Mum
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross ut gives aid to families
in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children In
conflict with the laws. 1t renders serv-
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the lliterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistance and advice to foreign speak
ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their own problems,
Home Service helps in strengthening
the weak spots in the social life OF
communities. 1t joins hands with 9th.
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines In
which the community is already inter
ested is one of the objects Of Home
Service. 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eants and picnics. Rest rooms, recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are Influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
Ing libraries as well as to secure coun-
tv agricultural and home demonstra-
tion agents.
If you need assistance at any time,
go to the secretary of the nearest Red
Cross chapter and describe the situa-
ton. Your confidence wiiFbe sacredly
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Z FlouriShing in Small Towns
stt Throughout Country.

More than $4,000 graduate nurses
nave been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to -date and its department
of nursing is daily Increasing this en-
rollment.
Inc department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an ADEQUATE
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. II will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which 1t has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
IT VIII assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
Where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensarles and
schools for nurses Courses in home
hygiene and care Of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education in
this direction. Rural nursing which
was IN its infancy "A short while ago
has been put ahead at least decade
through the work of the department
of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly Il
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
Ing with other organizations in a years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, In educating the gen
eral public as to standards Of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. 1t will endeayor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, in developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietltlans for the

and the civilian hospitals.
offer to women and young girls the
opportunity of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dation for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director of the department of
nursing, '1t is logical that the com
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in general cam
palgn of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"
