Red Cross Nurse
Reserve at Peak
Disaster Service, Home Nursing,
Health Education, Keep
Thousands Busy
Washington.—The Red Cross reserve
of registered nurses qualified for im
mediate duty is stronger than ever
before, Miss Mary Beard, director of
' the American Red Cross nursing ser
vices, announced.
“We now have a first reserve of
15,000 unmarried nurses under 40 years
of age available for duty with the
Army, Navy or government nursing
services and subject to call by the Red
Cross for disaster work,” she said.
“This is 700 more than any previous
first reserve registration.”
Miss Beard pointed out that the in
crease has been gradual and that only
registered nurses meetingrigid require
ments of training and physical fitness
are enrolled. All classes of nurse
reservists, including nurses now em
ployed by the Red Cross, bring the
reserve corps total to 44,283. During the
• World War of 1914-18 the American Red
Cross mustered nearly 20,000 nurses for
duty with Army, Navy and Red Cross
hospitals, at home and overseas.
“Maintenance of the Nurses Reserve
is provided by our charter and is in
line with Red Cross policies of preven
tion and preparedness, but the peace
time work of our nurses is equally im
portant,” Miss Beard said.
The director explained that more
than 2,000 nurses, chiefly hem 5 i
and care of the sick ;
regularly engaged in visiting the sick,
aiding physicians in examining school
children, conducting inoculation pro
grams to stamp out contagious illness,
launching trial nursing services in out
of-the-way communities, and carrying
on important health education work
to qualify family groups to care for
sickness at home.
All nurses who are needed for Red ।
Cross nursing activities are drawn
from the Red Cross reserve of qualified
nurses, Miss Beard said.
Last year Red Cross public health
nurses made more than one million
visits on behalf of the sick and gave
skilled care to 272,729 persons.
Last year, in schools and clinics,
nurses cooperated with physicians in
examining 595,575 children, and aided
in the task of correcting defects. Chil
dren examined were enrolled for the
most part in rural schools where this
type of preventive service is rare.
There are 655 Red Cross nurses en
gaged in this work in 477 communities.
In the field of health education, Red
Cross nurses have instructed more
than 1,000,000 family members since
1914 in how to care for the sick at home
and have set new standards of hygiene
for the family. Last year the Nursing
Service held 4,505 classes in home
hygiene and care of the sick and
awarded certificates to 61,236 persons
who passed examirations on the sub
jects taught.
“Because the nucleus of all Red
Cross nursing activity is our nurses’
reserve, it is a source of great satisfac
tion that each month the list of ap
plicants increases,” Miss Beard said. *
This service to the public is sup
ported by the men and women who join
as members of the Red Cross, through
their local Chapters, during the Rc' :
Cail, November 11 to 30.
Record Number of Dis
asters Reported by Red
Cross for Year
The American Red Cross gave
emergency relief and rehabilitation
aid to 130,000 sufferers of 157 disas
ters in the United States during the
fiscal year ended June 30, according
to a report submitted by DeWitt
Smith, newly appointed director of
the Red Cross disaster relief ser
vice.
Mr. Smith said the number of dis
aster operations exceeded that of
any previous year, with cloudbursts,
epidemics, fires, windstorms, snow
slides and other cata-strophes strik
ing in 43 states and the territory of
Alaska. Red Cross disaster relief ex
penditures totaled $2,276,109 for the
year.
“Since its founding in 1881 the
Red Cross has aided victims of 2,495
disasters of all types here and
abroad, expending $143,000,000 for
rescue, food, clothing, shelter, medi
cal and nursing aid and the perma
nent rehabilitation of families un
able to re-establish themselves,” Mr.
Smith said.
Since 1910 the American Red Cross
has taught first aid methods to more
than 2,000,000 persons, life saving skills
to more than 1,000,000 and home hy
giene and care of the sick to more than
1,000,000 women and older glrla.
