The health center as organised by the Red Cross is proving the greatest preventive medicine known, as well as protection of great value in times of widespread illness or epidemic. From health centers radiate all kinds of healthful influences from the giving of proper advice and the furnishing of competent nursing, medical and sur gical aid, to the inauguration of many forms of beneficial exercises such as community singing, athletics and out door games. From health centers go the visiting nurses. There are held the teaching classes for home nursing, children's clinics and proper welfare O . M K E IL IN G work.

I A H belleves that through health centers established In every considerable community throughout the United Stalea, health can be safeguarded and therefrom greater happineas be brought to our people. Ignorance of diseases, ignorance as to what are the best means to pursue in combatting them, ignorance as to the standing and competency of cer tain medical men— these today are responsible fo r a vast number of deaths In the world. Quacks prey upon our people with their glaring and lying advertisements and in hun dreds of thousands of cases individ uals absolutely deceived by their pre tensions pass beyond the days when their infirmities might be cured. For these perils the Red Cross health center forms a safeguard. The health centers being established become the people’s clubs, with mem berships designed to reach vast num bers of the population since member ship costs but |1 a year— the annual Red Cross dues. Another phase of the peace time pro gram of the organisation which rapid ly is becoming of paramount value in the northwest is comprised In the Home Service activities. Designed originally for the benefit solely of disabled service men and their fam ilies, it has grown to occupy a far broader field. Red Cross welfare workers look to the interests of for mer soMlers and sailors in hospitals and schools; maintain personal con tact with the disabled who are at home. Home Service forms the con necting link between the disabled man in hospital or school and his family. But Home Service has grown be yond this. In nearly 40 of the 103 chapters of the Nosthwestern Division experienced social workers are em ployed. and the service is being ex tended to civilian families. In some chapters information stations for the benefit of the general public have been established. In Raymond. Washington, the Home Service depart ment maintains an office dose to the railway stations and hotels where any day may be seen the visitor inquiring for the residence of a friend, or the genial traveling man asking the loca tion of the business house upon which he wants to call. Social Service extends down through the chapters to the branches and aux iliaries. Several Northwestern chap ters have branches which maintain local Home Service operatives, their activities being financed through small revolving funds from the chap ter treasuries. Fifty cents of every dollar o( mem bership fees stays la the community la which it baa been contributed. It M that fifty seats which aids la this t Moan Service development. W . W .
