Much of Red Cross Home Serv- jice work is devoted to obtaining jreports on the home conditions !of families of service personnel. 'The servicemen are worried be- cause of reported illnes at home. The question arises as to wheth- er it is wise for the serviceman to come home. The Red Cross in making such a report consult the family, the family’s phy cian, and any other persons who can contribute to an understand- ing of the home situation. This report is then wired to the serviceman’s camp or station and the dec then made by the military naval authorities as to whether the vicemgn should be given emergency leave. When a serviceman is in Key West on leave and finds it neces: sary to obtain an extension of time due to an emergency, the Red Cross Chapter can help the fserviceman by submitting a re- Yport to the Red Cross at the sion ser Fseeviceman ‘s,.capp, or station.
