PUBLIC HEALTH
MAJOR ISSUE IN
TIME OF PEACE
National Conference Of Social
Workers at Milwaukee Lis
ten to Addresses

Milwaukee, Wis, June 24.-Public
Health work, in the aid and coordina-
ton of existing public health agencies,
is the major peace time activity of the
American Red Cross. George R. Bed
niger of New York, director, Health
Service Department, American RED
Cross, told the delegates to the Nat
ional Conference of Social Work here
today.
The program of the Red Cross
Health Service consists mainly of a
broad statesmanlike plan Of Public
Health Education and Information,
under which the Red Cross is per-
forming certain joint services for the
Public Health Agencies of the city of
New York, which it would be difficult
Tor any one agency to do so we'll for
itself alone Mr. Bedington added.
Among these comman services, of.
fered without charge by the Health
Service of the Red Cross is IL Bureau
of Public Health Information through
which any interested person can Sc
cure up-to-date information in regard
to all phases of Public Health activ-
ity.
TO strengthen and support exist
ing Public Health Agencies it not only
the aim, but also the achievement of
the New York County Chapter of the
American Red Cross since it entered
the field of Public Health eighteen
months ago
"One of our cooperative enterprises
is a Health Speakers Bureau, design
ed to act as a clearing house through
which all public health agencies can
find opportunities for their lecturers
to speak. and through which local
groups of any kind desiring to ar
range public health lectures, can Sc
cure qualified lecturers. or a series
of lectures, IL desired.
The entire health program of the
New York County Chapter American
Red Cross is one of cooperation; no
health activities are undertaken
alone; no health service is provided
without securing the cooperation ol
some other organization. much of this
service being undertaken at the spe.
cial request of other health agencies
To supplement and not supplant the
public and private health activities Of
the city is the motto OF this new Rec
Cross Service >

The thing that the new generation
wants most, he declared, is fearless

no courses of study, bans no contacts

essential requirements of youth, the

ground the Sim Fein authorities de-

AS a matter of fact, it is declared
here, there is no intention on the part
of the authorities in ireland to arrest

pear to be born out of the fact of
his being released when his identity
was established.
Large forces of police and soldiers
also were despatched to the spot
