Such service in the hos­ pitals. camps, soldiers' homes and sanatoria, averaged 33,951 cates a month during the year. Assistance ! to ex-service men and th eir de pen- ! dents averaged 58.767 cases a month, i In addition, the Red Cross In the last I tw elve months provided 33.000 recre- j atio n and entertainm ent events in the hospitals and camps. Thus the Red Cross, symbolised as i the "Greatest M other.” s till watches over these many thousands of men. i comforts them, h e lp i to lighten the te­ dium of th eir physical reconstruction. j and In their homes lifts some of the burdens from th eir "own people." W o rk in Communities Increases T he home service of the Red Cross | was the most pressing duty of 2.609 Chapters, an increase of 182 communi- ' ties where problems affected by the j w a r veteran's condition required so­ lution through im m ediate and in te lli­ gent assistance. T he Chapters alone expended some *2.000.000 In this work. The transient disabled soldier, usu­ a lly suffering from disability or tu b e r-! culosis. is almost everyw here a grave problem. From national funds the past year *173.076.36 was expended in helping the Chapters to care for these wandering men. According to government report there are 1.800 veterans in civilian In stitutlons, and in the national homes for soldiers the complications are in creasing. The large groups of pa tients whose claims have been dlsal lowed, of veterans of foreign wars, j and the great number of men perma n ently resident in these institutions < call for Red Cross work which can ’ not be avoided nor denied.
