RED GROSS AID TO
VETS MOUNTING
Heavier Demands for War Ser¬
vice Laid to New Legislation
Granting Wide Benefits.
ACTIVE FORCES AIDED ALSO
Duty to Ex-Service and Service
Men First Responsibility
of the Red Cross.
A marked Increase In the service
given by the American Red Cross to
ex-service men, through Chapters, hos¬
pitals, CJovernment and Red Cross
offices during the past year, and which
T0 j ume j a expected to be maintained
during most of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1926, is shown in the re
ports of the war service activities of
the organization, just comploted.
Service to the disabled and to
men now in active service continued
to be ono of the primary obligations
of the Red Cross. The increased ac
tirHles in this regard were attributed
largely to the legislation giving new
benefits to ex-service men.
The keystone of the Red Cross ser
vlco lies in the Home Service work
of the chapters to veterans and men
still in service. At the close of the
f | ara i yea r Juno 30, 1925, 2.591 Chap
tors wore active in this work and had
expended approximately $2,237,000.
Included in their work was assist¬
ance to ex-service men in making out
adjusted compensation papers, in the
handling of claims reopened, or made
possible under liberalized terms of
the World War Veterans’ Act of 1924;
and In many other ways.
An unusual amount of legislation
passed by Congrose and State bodies
has necessitated the issue of much
new material in the past year. Leg¬
islation was passed during the
year liberalizing conditions applying
to hospitalization, compensation and
other benefits under the Veterans’
Bureau; this in turn has entailed re¬
opening of many claims formerly dis¬
allowed, filing of many new ones, and
many applications for hospitalization.
The Claims Service at National Head¬
quarters this year handled 17,506 in
comparison with 12.010 cases the pre
vlous year.
Increased service to men in hospl
;als was noted, as well in the number
Df hospitals in which service was
maintained by the organization. Due
to new legislation an increase of over
5.000 patients were admitted for hos¬
pitalization, a new peak approximating
'.hat of March 1922. Since a large
number or this group Includes pa¬
tients not eligible for compensation,
;he solution of their personal and fam¬
ily problems has involved careful
itudy by the National Organization.
There are 30,000 disabled ox-servtce
men in Government hospitals every
lay of the year, and their need has
Urectly led to a revival of the best

LIBRARY
NOTES
The Library Auxiliary has recently
given to the Library $50.00 worth of
now books for children—books for
the little children, and books for the
older ones. Something new for all
ages. They are now ready to be given
out, and have been shellacked and put
into such condition that dirty little
hands won't play such havoc with the
pretty new covers. I wonder if the
children have noticed the poster in
the library about clean books?
There are also new books for the
grown-ups. How many of you have
read the "Perennial Bachelor”? The
New Harper Prize Novel? It is a
story of the dominance of one charac¬
ter through the idolatry of the femi¬
nine part of the household, and the
resultant decadence. It is a most in¬
teresting series of character studies,
and we feel that we have met and
known most of them—especially Vic¬
tor, his adoring mother and the self
sacrificing Maggie. A well-written
book, and a concise picture of the
times it deals with.
And “Green Thursday”—a new se¬
ries of stories by a new author. Ne¬
gro stories, written by a Southern
woman. They are pathetic, true to
life, and thoughtful. The impression
that remained with me with regard
to this book was that even the every
day life of the average farm negro
has its romance, its troubles, its joys
and its comforts, just as much so as
ours. A story you ought to enjoy.

HEALTH AIM
OF RED CROSS PROGRAM
Nurses Guard Community
Health; Home Hygiene and
Nutrition Featured.
The Increasing appreciation hy the
American people of the value of a na¬
tional health structure is reflected in
the comprehensive machinery built up
hy the American Red Cross and kept
in constant operation In the past year,
in the Interest of national health.
Instruction in home hygiene and
care of the sick, in nutrition; inspec¬
tion of school children, the mainte¬
nance of an effective nursing service,
all formed a part of the Red Cross or¬
ganization assisting in keeping Amer¬
ica well.
Altogether 51.121 stndents were in¬
structed in home hygiene and care of
the sick, including 3M30 school stu¬
dents, of whom 20,381 received cer¬
tificates. This work reached the Girl
Scouts, Camp Fire GitIs and Girl Re
serves; also telephone companies.
public and private schools, commu¬
nity and industrial groups. An un
usual fact of this service was its adap
tion to the needs of the blind, through
transcription of the text book In
Braille print.
The year's work also demonstrated
a growing understanding and appre¬
ciation on the part of Red Cross field
representatives, chapters, co-operating
agencies and others, of the place of
nutrition in community programs,
looking to community health.
There were 2,800 dietitians enrolled
during the year; regular nutrition in¬
struction reached 13S.065 children;
20,359 adults attended nutrition meet¬
ings, while 1,885 schools were aided
in furnishing lunches.
Co-operative relationships were es¬
tablished with various Government
and educational agencies in making
this branch of the Red Cross health
work more effective.
Another.of the health-promoting ac¬
tivities of the Red Cross lies in its
public health nursing service. There
are nearly 1,000 such nurses serving
in every part of the country.
As an invaluable reservoir in time
of a great national emergency, there
is enrolled under the Red Cross ban¬
ner a reserve of 42,002 nurses. In a
number of disasters during the past
year in which the Red Cross Iras
aided, and where the services of the
nurses were required, they have been
among the first to mobilize.
At Lorain, O., last year 34 enrolled
Red Cross nurses were engaged in re¬
lief work, while 124 were employed ir.
the mid-west tornado disaster relief
operation of this year. The work of
Mrs. Dorothy Davis Sleicbter, a Red
Cross public health nurse stationed at
Fairbanks, Alaska, in checking a flu
epidemic at Fort Yukon, in the Arctic,
has won praise from all who knew
of it.
It is to assist in maintaining such
valuable services to the community
that the American Red Cross invites
members during its ninth annual roll
call. November 11 to 26. the only such
appeal which the Red Cross makes in
the year.
No appeal Is so international as that
to the humanity of every people. The
sum of $1.50 from a Japanese boy in
Tokio to the Santa Barbara relief fund
bespeaks a world of friendship, en¬
gendered by the American Red Cross,

Decatur Pastor And Son
Make Lp Team In Pulpit
In Father And Son Week
(From Atlanta Journal)
One of the most fitting celebra
tions of the opening of Father and
Son week is scheduled to take place
at the Decatur Baptist church, Sun
day, when the Rev. A. J. Monerief,
pastor of the church, will relieve the
Rev. A. J. Monerief, Jr., supply pas
tor. The two ministers are living ex¬
emplifications of the Biblical passage: .
“Like father, like son.”
Dr. Monerief has been holding a
two weeks’ revival in Fort Valley,
and by a vote of the official board.
A. J. Monerief, Jr., was recalled from
his senior class studies at Mercer
university to fill the pulpit at the De
catur Baptist church. He accomplish
ed his mission most successfully, ac
cording to members of the church,
and will be asked to supply the pulpit
on every occasion when his father is
absent, it was said.
Members of the church say it is
not surprising that A. . J. T Monerief, v •
Jr., T has , inherited the religious ... zeal ,
and fervor that have marked his early
appearance in the pulpit, as he is de
scended from three generations of
Baptist ministers who have been
identified with the religious and edu
