Red Cross Home
Service Work
Increases

Requests for emergency commu-
nication service between families at
home and servicemen overseas are
pouring into Red Cross national
headquarters in Washington at the
rate of more than 10000 a month,
Red Cross officials have an
nounced.
The messages are divided about
equally between inquiries from men
overseas in regard to the welfare
of their families and inquiries from
families for the welfare and loca-
ton of men overseas. All communi-
cations of an emergency nature are
sent through Red Cross rapid COM
munications channels when at
tempts of the family to get in
touch, or of the man to get in
touch with his family, through reg
ular mail or cable service have
failed.
Many of these families have lost
touch with their men on foreign
duty in the course of rapid troop
movements, or because secrecy of
lOCdJlOil Ill a oiiCuISl VI OpCI
or lack of facilities and time have
prevented the families from receiv-
ing notice of their change of ad-
dress.
Due to war conditions long pc
RODS may elapse before a family
will hear from a serviceman, Red
Cross pointed out. However, if a
family has not had any word for
four months and has reason to be
concerned about his welfare, Red
Cross will accept an inquiry for
transmittal to the Red Cross field
director attached to the service
mans unit.
In cases of critical illness or
other extreme emergency at home,
Fed Cross accepts messages to be
sent by cablegram or radiogram.
In the chapters, the same serv-
ice is performed, home service
workers, most of whom are volun-
teers, working on all sorts of Serv-
ices for the man in the service and
his family.
In FL Centro the home service
work done by the Red Cross chap
ter has more than tripled during

men have been stationed in the
