PED CROSS FOURTH RCLL CALL

Miss Frances YoungLlood, Fitld
Manager for the Fourth Red Cross
Roll Call, who visited the Madison
Chapter to talk over active plans for
the roll call with local officials and
pressing the peacetime program OF
the organization, made the following
statement
When President Wilson, as presi-
dent of the American Red Crsss, made
a nationwide appeal last year Tor
funds to carry on the work ct .he
association, he laid stress on the fact
THAT IS soon as the great orsaniza-
tion of twenty million members coulc
retire honorably, from foreign relic:
work, it had still heavier obligation
waiting for it at home-the installing
of a great peacetime program en-
bracing every phase OF public he;:l,
and social welfare.
In. the past year the Red Gross h
brought much nearer to competitor
war work, the re.iabi,i ation OF dis
abled soldiers, the caring for tn
wounded and their depeacert fau,i
lies, the adjustment of the cxsertice
man to his community.
It has cleaned the slate with re-
gard to the foreign obligations pre-
viously assumed. It has cared for the
sick and under-r ourished' Of Europe
and the Near East; it has enabled
war ravished countries to get back on
their feet.
Then, as these moral obligations
diminished, it turned its vast activ-
ties upon home interest. Disasters OF
peace in 1919 and 1920 proved al
most as calan itous ss disasters of ths
fwar. Hardly were the tents, the cots
| and the bedGing of demobVized arm-
! les packed in storehouses than they
were hastily unpacked for thousands
made homeless by the series Of flooi'
and fires and tornadoes that swer
. the country. With open purses and
uns.inted vo'unte IT labor. Red Cros,
workers were first on the field ii
every national or local disaster.
When the "flu" gathered its heav!
toll. the country awakened to it
unprcparedness for meeting nation
wide epidemics, and health programs
sprang into being in almost ever!
