With thousands of dis- abled ex-service men still in hospitals, with disasters occurring almost weekly, with hundreds of thousands dying yearly through preventable dis e, through accident, through lack of knowledge of the simplest rules of hygiene and health, the need is greater than ever before. The Red Cross mects this need through a group of unified services, to carry on which it is chartered by Congress. This peace-time work is less spectacular than the war wor Much of it, the public health work in particular, is less interesting generally, except to those who dir ectly benefit by it. For it is no easy matter to interest a healthy person in health, Yet it is a work that is of vital importance to the American WD. INSTILLS IDEALS OF UNSELFISH SERVICE ANDO MINS OF YOUTH Pevple, America couia no more do without the Rea Cross in peace than it could have done without it in war. With Service and Ex-Service Men Service to the disabled veterans of the World War continues as the first obligation of the Red Cross. Since the Armistice it has expended $50,000,000 for services to these men and to men of the Army and Navy. It is now assisting more than 100,000 dis= abled vetefans and their families each month. To 180,000 soldiers, sailors and marines on active duty it is giving the-same help it gave during the war. There are today more than twenty-five hun- dred Red Cross Chapters, in all parts of the country, that are carrying on soldier work. With the Army and Navy, the Red Cross has continued to act as a medium of communi- cation between the enlisted man and his family at home. Field Directors are main- tained at all stations, camps, and hospitals, supplementing the welfare of the men, pro- viding entertainment and recreation for convalescents, and keeping the families ad- vised of their condition. Occupational therapy has been continued at nine Naval hospitals. IN THE H 0S Ane Soe SUPPLE MENTS GOVERNMENT SERVICE TO DISABLED WORLD WAR, The Nursing Service VETERANS At the request of the Government the Red Cross holds the reserve out of which are recruited the Army and Navy Nursing Corps, both in time of war and in some sudden emergency of peace. Dur- ing the war it assembled, equipped and assigned 19,877 nurses to active service with our Armies and Navy. Today there are 41,000 qualified nurses enrolled in this reserve. . Disaster Relief The far-reaching organization of the Red Cross, with its thousands of chapters and branches, forming a close network over the entire country, is well fitted to bring prompt aid when the lightning stroke of disaster flashes down upon a peaceful community, killing hundreds, ren- dering thousands homeless and destitute. Into such a %, ib ADVANCES INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING cD) RED CROSS FEEDING TENT AT LORAIN During the first half of 1924 the Red Cross gave assistance in more disasters than during any similar period in its his- tory. This year the flood in China brought an immediate response from the Red Cross treasury. Disaster Relief has been and must continue to be one of the most important of Red Cross activities. Public Health Nursing The Red Cross has appointed public health nurses in many communities which desired such serv The public health nurse is the guardian of the health of all those in her neighbor- hood. She inspects the school children scene of despair and hopelessness the Red Cross brings food and clothing, medicine, tents for shelter, blankets and all kinds ‘of supplies. Equipped with trained work- | ers, with stores of relief supplies located at strategic points throughout the coun- try, the resources of the entire organiza- tion can be brought to bear within a few Rours upon the most remote hamlet. Nor do the workers go until the work 4s finished. In the tornado which devas- tated Lorain, Ohio, last June, more than 7,000 persons were left homeless.

Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick The course in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick which the Red Cross is offer- ing to women and girls throughout the country has two aims. The first is to teach the elementary principles of, nurs- ing, so that in war or pestilence, when there is a shortage of professional nurses, there may be a sufficient supply of volun- teers available.

Last year -14,50€ persons completed the course, and 135,000 were reached with demom strations by the First Aid Car. Red Cross experience shows that the accident rate among men ir indu@ry who have had First Aid instruction is 75 per cent less than among the ninstructed. Red Crose Chapters throughout the country are prepafed to assist eroups of people anywhere in tak- ing the course. An organization devoted to life- Saving at the various waterfronts end resorts was inaugurated in 1914, This is the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps, whick has trained more than 49,000 mea, women and youths to rescue and revive the drowning. These vol- unteers are instructed and organ- ized into corps by the expert life- savers on the Red Cross staff. The Chapters During the year volunteer work- ers have produced 150,000 gar. ments, 1,000,000 surgical dressings and 87,000 pages of Braille. They have made 15,000 motor calls and fed 22,000 persons in canteen serv- ice. In 500 communities the Ked Cross Chapter is the only family welfare agency. Junior Red Cross Organized in 1917 the American Junior Red Cross has today 5 745 children enrolled in public, private and parochial scheols. Born as a war movement to p: vide suitable channels of Ame can Red Cross relief work for American children, it is now in close touch with the children of forty other countries, creating bonds of mutual friendship and understanding. When the Armistice was signed the Red Cross mustered these children into an army of peace, whose ideal should be one of serv. ice to others. Today juniors are identified with their seniors in health class instruction, in disas- ter relief work, in salvage and ir other service. The Juniors pay no membership fee, but every child must earned the right to wear the Juni TRAINS SWIMMERS IX ® EFFECTIVE METHODS..Q# WATER.

The number of itinerant workers was more than doubled this year. First Aid and Life Saving During the nineteen months we were at war approximately 126,009 persons were killed in America by accidents — almost three times he number of Americans in the war—and more than 2,000,000 were so seriously jured. that each lost over four weck=' time or was permanently maimed. These startling statistics call for a wide- spread and far-searching re:n.dy. The Red Cross aims to supply thu remedy by instruction in First Aid and Acci- dent prevention. During the past ten years First Aid representatives of the Red Cross have covered nearly the entire country— traveling altogether soiiething over’ half a million miles. During that time, 500,000 persons Lave hed First Aid instruction amo: railroad em- ' button, “I Serve,” by one or more of three ways—performance of @ significant service for the schoo\ the community or the local Red Cross Chapter; participation in school enterprises by which a Junior Red Cross Service Fund is raised; contribution to the Junior Red Cross Service Fynd from money earned by personal service or personal sacrifice. Carrying out its slogan of “Hap py childhood the world over,” the American Junior Red Cross hay be- come acquainted, through a sys- tem of international school corre- spondence, with the children of other nations. Foreign Operations While the Red Cross work is largely carried on at home, it hag in recent years rendered impor- tant assistance during times of disaster in the following coun- tries: France, Belgium, Italy, Aus tria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Rou- mania, Bulgaria, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Siberia, Japan, Chiua, Chile, Bcuador, Colombia, and Costa Rica, The position of the Red Crosa among American institutions is unique in that, while certain du- ties have been placed upon it by. Congress, it is at the same time a Volunteer organization. Its mem- bership is a voluntary member4 ship; its work is carried on by, voluntary contributions and mem- bership dues. The amount of work that it can accomplish, therefore, is directly measured by: the amount of support which the American people give it. During the Highth Annual Rolf’ Call, from November 1ith to 27th, the Red Cross offers the people. an opportunity to reaffirm their faith in the ideal of service for which it stands—to pay their membership dues and become a ‘ part of the organization for the coming year. If you—one person in millions—fail to join, it may: seem a little thing. But the Red Cross is your Red Cross—you are @ part of it; and if you fail to join, by just so much the Red Cross, fails of its high purpose, The Red Cross has kept faith: with you.
