The workers will go in pairs, visit.
ing all the homes in the territory as
signed to them. Citizens need not
expect that they will be visited espe-
cially by members of their own
church, as each pair Of workers will
visit everybody in their territory.
No other personal solicitation will be
made thru the churches or otherwise,
Berea has found by experience that
the best way to take care of her
home charities is thru such personal
investigation and attention as the
Red Cross has been able to give. IT
prevents imposition and unwise CIV
ing which tends to pauperize the
beneficiaries and it enables the COM
munity, at the same time, to minister
to all those worthy cases that might
otherwise escape the attention of
those who wish to help. The infiu-
ence Of the Christian personality in
the home, the sensible, sane advice
the worker Is able to give, the imam
cial help here and there only to tide
things over until better arrangements
can be made, a made-over garment.
a pair Of shoes, the interest and help
fulness of neighbors enlisted to stand
by thru the time Of need-all these
are more valuable than sums Of
money given Unfortunately with no
wise counsel as to how it can be spent
to the best advantage.
Eighteen hundred dollars will be
needed to do the work as it should
be done. The Executive Committee
set that as the goal to be reached.
Eleven or twelve hundred dollars pays
the worker, depending on the length
Of her summer vacation. Transpor-
tation is a large problem and II
costs money. A sum for relief should
be available. No money is ever spent
except for the very obviously JUST
fable cases without the workers frat
consulting the Home Service Commit
tee, a group of very practical bust
men and women.
1t should not be forgotten, either,
that our chapter is a part Of a world-
wide organization that more THAI any
thing else. is helping t. meet the
needs Of starving, dying, suffering
