AMERICANS ABROAD IN RED CROSS WORK United States Citizens Far Away Enthusiastic Members of the "Fourteenth" Division. Among the most enthusiastic and energetic members of the American / Red Cross are those citizens of the United States who live outside the continental boundaries of their country ?sons and daughters of the Stars and Stripes residing at the far corners of the earth. These people compose the Inaular and Foreign Division of the parent organization, generally known as the "Fourteenth" Division, which has 4nwe/4i/?tirtn nf a I! tarrltnrv nntQldp yU&iOVUVWAVU V 4 ^ v vv v*v the country proper; that is, Alaska, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the Philippines, Guam, and even the island af Yap, which came under our flag as a result of the world war. For the year 1920 this division reported 80,808 paid up members. The main object of this division is to give our citizens everywhere the opportunity to participate in the work of the organization which stands for the best national ideals. Americans in far places Intensely loyal and patriotic, treasure their membership in the Red Cross as the outward expression of their citizenship. It is another tie to the homeland and to | each other. There are chapters of , this division in Argentine, Bolivia, . Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, { Ecuador, England, France, Guam* { Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras, Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Nica- ' ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay, . Venezuela and Virgin Islands. j During the war these scattered members of the Red Cross contrib- j uted millions in money, and millions of dollars' worth of necessary articles for the men In service, and sent many ^ doctors and nurses to Prance. At the same time they carried on an excel- 1 lent Home Service in their respective 1 communities for the families of those who had gone to war, and in some re- { gions gave large sums of money and < immeasurable personal service to the 1 relief of disaster and disease victims. The division is now establishing 1 service clubs in foreign ports for the 1 benefit of sailors in the American Mer- j chant Marine, making plans to aid 1 Americans in trouble in foreign lands ( and completing arrangements for giv- 1 ing immediate adequate relief in case ( of disaster. * - It is the Fourteenth Division's part ( in the great Peace Time program of 1 the American Red Cross. 1 . RED CROSS ASSISTS J DISABLED VETERANS \ i The American Red Crow is carrying en a wide program of service for the , disabled World War veterans receiving j treatment in United States Public i Health hospitals, and those being train- j ed through agencies of the Federal \ Board for Vocational Education. 1 la each of the Public Health Service hospitals Red Cross workers devote f their time to the general welfare of i the service men from the day they enter the receiving ward until they < are discharged. After the soldier's dis- ^ charge the Red Cross continues Its friendly service through the Home < siin hi* own communftv. 1 U^l T ivv WW ?? ??- ? - ? w The Red Cross maintains a con vales-' t cent house at all of the hospitals, where patients can amuse themselves i after they are well enough to be up f and around. Parties and picture shows j in the wards are also furnished, with occasional excursions when convales- j cence comes. j Great service has beem rendered by the Red Cross In mental cases In. iden- , tifying those who have appeared in * state hospitals for the insane, and helping them secure compensation due from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. In the Federal Board's various district offices the Red Cross worker, act- ' Inr with the Home Service Section, ^ makes necessary loans to the men, ar- ' ranges suitable living conditions, helps 1 collect evidence and supply facts to the ! Board, assists in "appealing cases'* and 1 settles various personal difficulties for ( the men. The workers also follow up 1 and aid all men who discontinue train- * ing. i The Red Cross agents find men "lost" to the Board, help clear up delayed * cases and aid the college counselors in J their' friendly work with the men. ' Many Red Cross chapters have set up J recreation facilities, and in some in- * stance# living clubs, so these rletims ] of war may hare attractive snrremid Ings and the fun which iiost go with effective school work. ' To the American Red Cross Institute for the Blind near Baltimore, Md., 1 more than half of all th? Americans * bliDd^d in the World War hare come J for training. The Institute, through the Red Cross, long ago conducted an 1 exhaustive industrial survey to deter- i mine the vocations for which blind ^ men could be fitted. As a result it is putting forth well trained men equip- ( ped to meet the social, civic and eco- < nomic requirements of their respective 1 communities. Aid for Spanish Red Cross. 1 The Iberian chapter of the American Red Cress, composed of Americans ' resident la Spain, has just contributed i $490 to ft fund being raised b.y the 1 SpaBiah Red Cross and the League of Red Cross Societies for the purpose of fighting malaria. # JUNIOR RED GROSS WORKING AT HOME Production of Sound American Citizenship the First Aim, Says Dr. Farrand. 0* the badge of every member of the Junior Red Cross are the words MI Serve." That tells the story of the school children's branch of the American Red Crow and its efforts to bring happiness te children throughout the world Realizing that the time never was so propitious as right now for teaching the highest Ideals of citizenship, the ta tire present program of the Junior Red Cross has been framed under the very inclusive phrase, "Training for Citizenship Through Service" for others. Since the Junior Red Cross Is the agency through which the American Red Cross reaches the schoolboys and the schoolgirls, all its activities are designed te come wtthin the regular school program, and without creating new courses or increasing the number of studies to lend its aid in vitalizing the work of the schools. "The thing that is needed," says Dr. Livingston rarrand, Chairman of the j American Red Cross Central Commit- ! tee, "Is not a perpetuation of the Jun- j lor Red Cross, but the training and j breeding of sound American citizenship j inspired by the tree, fundamental ! ideals of sound democracy. One of the ) great conceptions in making the Red Cross a contributor te better citizenship in ear American democracy is the j realisation that after all the sole hope j1 etf any nation is with the children of j the country." j The plan of organization of the Jnn- 1 ler Red Cross makes the school?public, parochial and private?tho unit, j' sot the individual pupils. Mutual serr- j Ice, helpful community work such as j j clean-up campaigns, care ef the sick, !< promotion of health regulations, par tieipation in civic and patriotic moveBaents?all these creative^ agencies designed to translate into life and action ! j the regular school program are parts ! ] ?f the machinery which the Junior Red ' ] >oss places at the disposal of the i school authorities. Graded study courses giving prac- : tieal methods of civic training, supple- < mented by pamphlets and helpful sug- ' j gestions, are supplied to the local i schools by the Junior Red Cross. An | elaborate plan for promoting an inter- < change of correspondence between chil- 1 flren in different sections of the United j i 3tates as well as with children in for- j < sign lands is beirig devised and will i 3 take a prominent place In the estab- i 1 iished classroom program. In promoting the general cause of j 1 child welfare, Red Cress courses In ! ] lome hygiene and care of the sick, ; j 3rst aid, and dieting may be estab- j \ [lshed in all Junior Red Cross Am- ' 1 liaries. | i The ideals and the objective of the \ 1 funior Red Cross are embodied in the ! 1 pledge of service which the pupil takes 1 t tvhen he signs the membership roll and j pins on his coat the Junior's badge, j the pledge which binds together serv- j j ee and citizenship reads: |, "We will seek In all ways to lire ip , to the ideals of the Junior Red Cross ! j md devote ourselves to its service. | , "We will strive never to bring dis* : t credit to this, our country, by any un- j j worthy act j j "We will revere and obey eur conn- j j Ty's laws and do our best to inspire" a '. ike reverence and obedience in those I j ibeut us.

The American Red Cross has launched upon a nation wide campaign of fighting disease and physical defect among the American people. A new and unique health institution has come into being as the result of several months' study by the Red Cross Health Service Department at National HeadQuarters. Officials In charge of the department predict that before long this new health activity will be in actual operation all fV?A nAiintrn o n H that til #? siffn? I VI VI ULXVJ WUUli Jt A*A\+ V? ~ --C ? "American Red Cross Health Center" ?will become as familiar to the peo- ( pie everywhere as are now the signs of tbe telegraph companies. * Busy Long Before War. Tbe Interest of the American Red Oom in the fight against disease is bet, however, of recent origin. Long i before the war the organization began this health service through its medical units in disaster relief work and its department of Town and County Nursing. During the war and following the armistice thousands of American Red Cross officials have been fighting disease in the war-stricken countries. At the same time tens of thousands of leeal Red Cross officials have hoc* engaged at home fighting disease, notably during the influenza epidemics. Tbe American P.ed Cross has determined that all this valuable experience ii health service abroad and at home shall not go to waste. Se long as there are a half a million people dying yearly in this country from preventable causes, and ?o long as more nf the American chll dren and young people are victims of physical defects, the Red Croaa recognizes the urgent need far continued Red Cross health service at heme. How Organization Worke. The Red Cross Health Centy is governed by business principles, dpplies business methods, and, in its more simple form, can be established and conducted by lay people. It proceeds upon the demonstrated fact that health is a commodity that can be bought and sold like-brooms and soap. Therefore, it establishes itself in a storeroom in the principal business section of the community. It displays its goods in the form of attractive health exhibits in its show windows. It advertises constantly and txtensively. And It uses every business and social device to attract customers. The Red Cross Health Center Is of lervice to the sick in that it gives out reliable and complete information ibout existing clinics, hospitals, sanatoria and other institutions for the sick and the defective; about available aurses, both trained and practical; ibeut when to consult a physician and why te shun the quack and his nostrums. Teaching Disease Prevention. The Red Cross Health Center Is, however, of even greater service to the well It teaches people how to prerent sickness and disease. This is done is many intereating and attractive ways?ftrst of all, by the distribution rf popular health literature and through health lectures illustrated with dnttero slides or with health motion picture Then special exhibits are riven, one after the other, on various aealth subject!. Practical demonstrations are made; also health playlets by Aildren to interest and instruct themlelves and their elders. Classes are prganized in personal hygiene, home are of the sick, first aid and in food selection and preparation. Health ;lvbs, both for younger and elder people, are formed; also Little Mothers' Leagues. Nutrition and growth ciffrlcs ire conducted for children. Already more than a hundred of these Rod Cross Health Centers are In ictual operation throughout the country. Many of them also conduct medial clinics, but the one chief, outctanding feature of the American Red Sross Health Center is its health education service which teaches well people bow to keep well.
