OREGON By courtesy of Claro Briggs, New York Tribun®, KEEPING HOME FIRES BURNING UNTIL THE SOLDIER RETURNS « The Rod Cross has for years been • associated with hospitals, doctors, sol diers, sailors, battles, disasters; but it Is only within the last few months that those who do not come tinder i any of these classes have come to real Ise tho Importance of the assistance rendered by the Red Cross. Soldiers and sailors must be encour aged to “carry on.” Their morale must be upheld, The sailor or soldier who Is worrying about the welfare of his family Is not Hble to put his nilnd on the business before him. For this reason the Home Service Section of the American Red Cross has been or ganized, and to the folks at home it means neighborliness, counsel and aid —the nation's assurance to the enlist ed man that his fnmlly shall suffer for no essential thing that Is within Its power to give. In practically every Inrge city of the United States there Is already a class for training the workers of the Home Service section, so that they may be able to efficiently de«1 with the very real problems that are before them. It Is not the policy of the section to force upon families the aid of the Red Cross nor to burden them with inter ference. No family should be ap- proached unless some member of the family or some person capable of speaking for them has asked for the service. Becnuse It Is the desire of the Committee on Civilian Relief, un der whose direction this work comes to keep the service of the bureau strictly confidential, the wearing of any uniform by the Home Service workers has been discouraged. They cnll simply as friends and try to call Immediately when requested. In no Instance la a visitor permit ted to pry Into the secrets of the fam lly. Help Is always ready, and the call usually comes from the man In the service himself. Through the work era In the camp or at the front he lenrns that his family may be assisted, and If he does not bear regularly or encouragingly he Is quite apt to talk over with the Red Cross man or wo man the affairs of his home when he learns of the friendly Interest, and thus send local workers to his family The school teachers also are often the Informants, for they know through the children of the needs at home and are glnd to see the family's problems solved.
