W. Leland, print- ed herewith: “The Home Service Section of the Red Cross in New Britain was organ- ized December 28, 1917—Iless than 11 months ago. “During this time we have had 2,088 callers at the office. Of these calls 1,358 were inquiry cases and 730 active cases, which show that 70 per cent. of the soldiers’ and sailors’ families took advantage of this Red Cross service. *“A course of instruction in Home Service visiting was conducted by Miss Barbara Quinn of New York, and 24 of our ladies took this course; also representatives from our branch- ton and Berlin; and 10 ladies from Bristol. “The visitors were under the direc- tlon of Mrs. H. F. Moore up to Octo- ber 1st, and excellent results were ob- tained. Our visitors have made over 700 calls in the homes of families of the men in service.
