In connection with tho "national safety" Lake Division headquarters of the American Red Cross in Cleveland, Ohio, announce a new plan of the Red Cross to foster the establishment of health centers throughout the country as part of its peacetime program of service to Americans. A health center is to be headquarters for the public health work of a community. Its purpose is to educate the people in matters of health and prevention of disease. It is a place where they can be taught how to keep well rather than a place where they can go to be cured. That a far more vigorous campaign is needed in this country to promote physical welfare was made" clear by the selective service examination, in which one-third of all candidates were rejected for active service because of physical disability. Agencies co-operating in a health center will vary according to community needs and organiatlons. A complete health center will nave in it a public health dispensary and clinic for the prevention of disease and dissemination of health information. Offices of the city health work will be located there as well as offices of allied agencies such as home service and children's aid. It will be the disaster relief headquarters and the center of the war on tuberculosis. Instruction will be given at the health center in child welfare subjects, in social and mental hygene and preven
tion of accident?;, home nursing and dietetics. Dental clinics and the outpatient department of the local hospitals may be included in the health center. The fostering of health centers is to be looked upon not only as permitted Red Cross activity, but as a highly desirable means of expressing Red Cross spirit in an enduring form. The membership dollars subscribed in the Third Red Cross roll call, Nov. 2-11, will help bring to Lake Division communities this important Red Cross Frvice.
