in solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times

school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children

Home Service helps in Strengthening

communities. 1t joins hands with 9TH

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-
sants 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 facilitNs and to promote travel

If you need assistance at any time,
go to the secretary of the nearest Red

ton. Your confidence will be sacredly
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

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

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and it's department
of nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries 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 it's infancy a short while ago
has been put ahead at least a 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 fiourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind Of work.
The department of nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in 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 endeavor 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 dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals
The Nursing Service will continue to
CAA>i W "oIlCAl anu yOu1lS SlEIS 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-
dat1on 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, lit is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respon-
sibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign 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"

Samuel Atkinson and Charles Alex

of the Pennsylvania Gazette and the
Bee and issued the first number of the
Saturday Evening Post on August 4,
1921, and the Gazette and the Bee went
out of existence forever. Thomas Cot
