TELLS MEANING OF RED CROSS HOME SERVICE

Civilian Relief Director Begins Series of Articles Explaining importance of Assistance to Enlisted Men’s Relatives EDll’Oß’-S NOTE: This is the first of a series of rive articles prepared by James L. Flese’-. director of civilian relief for the American Red Cross in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. The subjects of the other four articles in the series are: “What Red Cross Home Service Is,” "Financial Aid in Home Service,” “What Has Been Taught Home Service Workers,” and “Organizing and Training 30,000 Home Service Committeemen.” By James 1~ Fleser, Director, Civilian Relief, Lake Division, American Red Cross. Two new words—Home Service — are taking important places in tie vocabulary and activity Of the 356 American Red Cross chapters in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. At war’s outbreak ten months ago to the few chapters then organized Red Cross work and popular knowledge of it centered only around* preparation of hospital supplies, equipment of base hospitals and supplying their personnel, and provisions of relief in times of disaster. Then came the unfolding of a multitude of other chapter obligations — solicitation of war funds, driving for Increased membership, organization of school auxiliaries, burning out huge quotas of knitted articles, surgical dressings and Christmas packets.

Among these obligations—model of 1917 —was the organization of Home Service committees, better known in some communities as civilian relief committees. Frequently the activities of the Home Service committees were belittled- by other chapter committees. This because importance of Home Service had not been clearly defined. New, through the efforts of the Bureau of Civilian Relief of the Lake Division, headquarters at Cleveland, chapters have come to a clear understanding of the vitalness of Red Cross Home Service in relation to war and complete victory. But to the general public, notably in the so-called rural communities, Home Service is little better understood than it was by the chapters a matter of five months back. So, what is Red Cross Home Service and why? Home Service must be the nation’s assurance that the enlisted and conscripted man’s family shall not suffer for want of any essential thing within the power of the nation to give. The Public's Conception. “Yes,” says Mr. Average Citizen, “but isn’t the government providing war risk insurance, and will it not provide separation allowance where necessary? Isn’t it a fact that but few men with dependents have been called to arms?” Mr. Average Citizen is correct, but he is thinking only in terms of money relief. And it is to convince him that administration of money relief is only one of many features of Home Service that this series of articles on the rudiments of Home Service have been prepared. Scan this brief summary of the opportunities confronting Home Service committees in your county and you will agree that the opportunities have become the duty and privilege of an upstanding, patriotic, American citizenship. 1. Conservation by service of human resources wherever deterioration is threatened in a soldier’s or a sailor's home.

2. Temporary relief of families in which there has been a delay in payments, or in which there is an emergency. 3. Responsibility for regular and continued assistance in cases not covered by government allowance — this includes families in need and resident in the United States of men who are in the service of our allies. 4. Personal service to tlie returned soldier or sailor, especially when he is disabled. 5. An information service which will save time, trouble and anxiety for lonely relatives of enlisted men. 6. Advancement of home standards wherever possible, but especially when the lack of help is likely to cause family disintegration. Sustains Soldiers' Morale. "Men may be the best soldiers in the world (I quote you from the Manual of Home Service Issued by American Red Cross headquarters, Washington), but if things are not well with their families at home, they lose efficiency through worry, and the morale of the army—that all important factor—begins to fait "So it is the patriotic duty as wen as the humanitarian opportunity of > Home Service workers of the American Red Cross to care for lonely families of our fighting men. It is to be remembered that they soon will be ‘fighting men’ tn real earnest Not only our enemies, but our allies, and the American people as well, will be watching them. "Every report from the training eamps and from the French fA>nt< mentions the eucellent spirit of our troops. ’ WHI they maintain this morale while thousands of miles from home, through trench life and to the victorious end? "THE ANSWER WILL BE DETERMINED LARGELY BY THE HOME SERVICE OF THE AIODU* can RED CROSS."

“Davy Dear"

“David, I wish you’d do something for me.” “Pm yours at all times, Louise, you know that” “But this la different, David. You’ll think it very silly and queer I know.” “Try me and see.” “It’s this way, David. When I go up in Wisconsin to visit Mark and Helen the first thing they do will be to —start on the same old theme. Why don’t I marry? It’s duty to myself and everybody else, and all that stuff. You know how they talk. The next thing they’ll do will be to post notices on all the rocks and trees that Tm there, and will all the unattached male populace please call, hoping, of course, that one of the latter will inadvertently catch my critical eye. They do it every year, and It’s beyond endurance.” David showed signs of mixed emotions, chiefly indignation. “So here’s where you come in, Davy, dear,” she went on, “but it’s a little hard to explain. It’s this way. You see, if I were to convey the idea to them there was somebody at home here that I was engaged to then everybody would let me alone and I’ll have a peaceful, delightful rest.” “Louise!”

“But it’s only pretend, David,” she explained hastily. “I’m only borrowing you for the time being. It isn’t a real engagement, you know, and it doesn’t bind anyone to anything. You don’t mind, do you?” “Oh, no I The only thing is—couldn’t you make it real just for a little while; then maybe I could kiss you good-by,” wistfully. “Oh, that would never do, David. If you’re going to do that, we mustn’t be engaged at all. It really isn’t anything, you know —a contract in name only. As far as you are concerned, no one around here needs to know it, as you can still be nice to all the girls and have a good time.” “All right, dear girl I If it will help you any, go ahead. But you know how I love you, and how many times I’ve asked you to marry me.” “I wouldn’t think of such a thing, David,” ignoring his last words, “only I suspect that Mark and Helen have somebody picked out for me. I can always read between the lines, and Helen’s been talking a lot about an bld college chum of Dick’s who is going to be near them this fall. He’s an artist or something. It’s funny how I run to artists, isn’t it, David?” He uvas silent a minute. “Yes, but If this chap hasn’t any better luck with you than I’ve had, I can’t say that we are in a class to be envied.” “You must run along now, Davy, dear. Fve got to pack, for I leave on an early train. Remember to write to me every day—at least send an envelope to carry out the bluff, won’t you?” "Certainly, I’ll do what I can I”

“You’re an old darling, David. You always were a good sport, and the best friend I’ve got. I knew you’d take it In the proper spirit. Now run along.” An the way up the street Louise’s thoughts were busy. About David! It was rather a sensation to be engaged to someone, even If it didn’t mean anything. Dear David! After an, what would she do without him? Probably, if it hadn’t been for her music she would have married him. But she had determined so implacably to put matrimony behind her that she had got out of the habit of thinking of men in the same minute with sentiment

Besides —there was something about David! She frowned slightly. He was too submissive! How easily he had agreed to her plans! If only he would come after her, with a club — why, maybe—who can tell? She liked masterful men—or at least men who determined to gain their goal, and got there, no matter how. Why hadn’t he said, “Louise, look here, I won’t stand .for this nonsense any longer, you’re going to marry me, and you know it, and there’s no use refusing any longer, for Pve made up my mind!” One comfort, however —she wouldn’t be bothered with other men all fall. Dick’s college chum had no terrors for her now. Two days later she was sitting alone on the porch watching the moon come up. Mark and Helen had gone to a dance at the country club. Everything was very quiet and peaceful in the soft twilight, but Louise was feeling—shall we say it—lonely. There was a step almost inaudible on the soft pine needles and a man emerged from the shadows of the trees. ' ‘. "David t” cried Louise, springing up and holding out both hands impatiently. - He grabbed them warmly as he came up and looked down earnestly into her eyes. “Don’t you think,” he begged, "that under the circumstances, I might kiss you?" "Please, Davl<L you’ve said that twice now, and it’s only pretend, you know.” “Well# little girl, you’re going to have some time of it carrying out your bluff. Pm afraid. Pm the college friend
