Reports from other localities indi-
cate a warm Red Cross interest in
community centers, clinics and other
more concrete forms of social better
ment. Activities Of this kind differ,
just as the needs which prompt them
differ. each locality presenting curious
ttypes of problems.
There is, however, one need which
irrespective of locality is found to be
prevalent everywhere-the need for
health education.
Ignorance is the underlying cause Of
the continued disaster of preventable
disease and death that are undermin-
ing the vitality of the American peO-
pie. Health education Is the means by
which this ignorance can be removed
In recognizing this. the Red Cross Is
establishing health centers where in
