fcACE TIME RED CROsF
FACES HUGE TASKS
War Task Not Finished-Public
Health Problems Must Be
Solved By Red Cross
The American Red Cross, according
to a statem ent just issued from W ash­
ington, D. C., believes that its first
duty is to finish its war task, one hun­
dred per cent. The Red Cross must
also continue to carry on even more
effectively than in the past, its estab­
lished system of National and Inter­
national relief, in m itigating the suf­
fering caused by famine, fire, floods,
and great national calamities. It must
atso render every necessary service
to the Arm y,and Navy, and m ust con­
tinue the work undertaken prior to
the war in the field of nursing and
F irst Aid.
The responsibilities of the Red
Cross are greatly increased as a result
of the lessons taught by the war. the
statem ent continues. H igher stand­
ards of responsibility have been set
to prevent needless suffering and loss
of life. The Red Cross, with its tradi­
tions and its established organization,
will aid in m aintaining these stand­
ards by co-operating with all recog­
nized agencies engaged in conserving
hum an life and happiness. Activities
already authorized include the en­
couragem ent and support of Public
Health Nursing, educational classes in
dietetics, home care of the sick, and
First Aid, the extension of Red Cross
Home Service, an increased Junior
program, and co-operation in develop­
ing community health centers.
W ar time developm ents have given
every community in the United States
a recognized and organized center of
Red Cross activity through which the
peopie of that community may, if they
wish, serve them selves, with all the
A dvantages of national leadership, na­
tional standards, national and inter­
national contacts. It rests with the peo
pie of every community to determ ine
^for them selves just how fully they
have need of a movement which under
the associated Red Cross Societ: s is
to express the effort of. the p< oples
of the world to fiee them selves from
needless death a id suffering through
neighbirly cooperaton and service.
You're in mighty good com­
pany when you belong to the
Red Cross.
So long as there's sickness,
suffering, disaster, the Red
Cross must stand by!
"fhe H. C. of L. hasn't hit Red
Cross memberships.
They’re
still a dollar.
If nine million youngsters be­
lieve in the Red Cross, it must
have the right idea.
