AMERICAN RED CROSS TO GIVE RURAL HELP

Program for Public Health and Community Welfare Is Now Well Under Way. Rural communities and towns of less than 8,000 population benefit in a very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the American Red Cross. Almost all of the 3,600 Red Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. Therefore the Red Cross Rural Service. Briefly, the purpose of Rural Service Is to assist people to get out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public health instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play a big part. Recreation is found to,be one of the biggest needs in rural life. There Is lack of sufficient play-life for the children and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singing and other social events which bring the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and carried on under the guidance of Red Cross rural workers to great advantage. In many Instances solving rec- '

reational problems and getting people together proves to be the awakening Of the community to other conditions which may be Improved by united action. As a result of community organisation, townships In which there had been neither plans nor Interest In community progress have been organised to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have'been started as a result of community meetings, as well as circulating libraries, Red Cross schools of instruction in Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and public comfort stations is being met. Playgrounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for the year. In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs of the various welfare agencies in the rural districts. Red Cross Rural Service helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where necessary.

JUNIOR RED CROSS ACTIVE IN EUROPE

Garden seeds for Polish orphans, milk for anaemic Greek babies, carpenters’ tools for Czecho-Slovakian cripples —these are only a few of the gifts that young Americans are sending to the war-crushed children of the Old World. Through the Junior Red Cross the boys and girls of the United States are giving a fresh start in life to little war orphans scattered all over Europe. They have set up orphans’ homes In FrAnce, school colonies in Belgium and Montenegro, and day schools In Albania. , They are sending dozens of young Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians to American colleges in Constantinople and Beirut, and maintaining more than a hundred orphans of French soldiers at colleges and trade schools. In orphanages and farm schools up and down the peninsula of Italy there are nearly 500 wards of American Juniors. Last winter a thousand French children from the inadequate shelters of the devasted regions were sent by the Junior Red Cross to spend the cold months in warmer parts of France. At the same time five thousand little T’elgians were baving a hot lunch every day at Junior Red Cross school caneens. American school children have alroady raised something like a million dollars for those enterprises, and they are srill hard at work. In China,, through campaigns of ediicntion. the Junior Red Cross is helping to combat widely prevalent bllndn“ss *»nd cholera.

Rice Terraces Are World’s Masterpieces

This is a photograph of the Ifugao Igorrot rice terraces, which are among the most remarkable of their kind in the world. They are one of the many marvelous sights for the tourist to see In the Philippine Islands and are to be found in the Ifugao district of the Mountain province. Northern Luzon The height of these terraces, which are held up by stone walls, is from 4 to 18 feet, averaging 8 feet high. It is estimated there are 12,121 miles of eight-foot stone walls In the Ifugao terraces, which Is approximately half the distance around the world. These terraces are skillfully Irrigated by water brought In troughs along the precipitous mountain sides over long distances.

RED CROSS RELIEF IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year, a large proportion of the 20,000,000 population of the Balkan States might have starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dollars worth of food, clothing and medical supplies have been sent to the Balkans —Roumanla, Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece —since the beginning of Red'Cross relief operations in Central Europe, while millions of dollars worth of food alone has been sent to-the needy In these states. The money expended by the Red Cross In this stricken portion of Europe has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medical units apd to help in the general re-

Construction of devastated areas. Amerlican tractors and other farming implements have been sent to the agricultural regions where aid has been given in plowing the land. By the last of this year probably all American Red Cross agencies administering relief in Central Europe . will have withdrawn. By that time, it is believed, the people will have approached a normal state of living and will be able through their own agencies which the Red Cross has helped set up to provide for themselves. The Democrat’s job departments unexcelled for its ability to handle at all times the class of work that will please the most discriminating. That we may prove this assertion, let us have your future orders for job printing.
