Washington, D. C. —On the homo
and military fronts the American I.ed
Cross is turning its focus on the man
ti uniform. In his behalf, more than
10,000 nurses are being recruited.
Tolunteers are donating their blood
for a huge plasma bank. Red Cross
vomen in chapters throughout the
•country are making 40,000.000 surgical
dressings, and knitting sweaters for
»en in outlying posts and sailors on
latrol.
But these are just fragments of the
story. In military and naval stations,
tttc Red Cross is concerning itself with
the personal problems of the service
»ian. helping him adjust himself to
military life. For the disabled, the Red
Cross is on the job in service hospi
tals.. helping to speed recovery of the
»aclc through a morale-building pro
gram.
In mobilising a 2,000,000-man tlghf
frig force, the personal problems of the
able-bodied man in uniform have in
turn become problems of the morale
derisions. Red Cm i field directors
statfoned in all camps and reserva-
Ikwa have been entrusted with the
lank «f helping tn solve these prob
lems-
Speaking in a nation-wide broadcast
recently. Chief of St iff Marshall, of
Ift* Army, address >d the following
"words to Rod Cross field directors:
“When you help straighten out any
«f tho great variety of tangles that hu
man beings seem unable to avoid, you
cure helping to maintain morale on the
iiomc front and on the military front;
you are helping us in training for do
le nse.”
Tho disabled man in a service hos
l»«al also can look Si the Red Cross
for help in speeding recovery. Medical-
KM-ial workers, trained for their spe
cialized assignment, are on duty at
Array general and Navy hospitals to
■tut service physicians, to act as a
awlinm of communication with the
families of hospitalized men and to
c/cwluct recreational programs for con
valescents.
Ttie Rod Cross provides recreational
service for patients in all Army and
Kaivy hospitals. Sixty-five new hospi
tal are under construction by the
•Array, and their recreation buildings
are being equipped and staffed by the
Red Cross as each one opens.
As part of the Army and Navy
»».£cty programs, members of tbs na
-1 moral Red Cross staff are qualifying
In-sctructora in First Aid and Water
Safety among the ranks of the enlisted
cram. Instructors taught by tho Red
Cross in turn conduct classes on the
reservations.
The number of Army and Navy
rases assisted by Red Cross Held dlroc
iiars has increased in volume 140 per
cent since Selective Service has been
to operation. During the past year
126,515 cases involving active service
wen have been handled In the camps.
The Red Cross recently made avail
able $1,000,000 to meet an emergency
m-od for athletic equipment for the
Array and Navy. This need arose when
Government appropriations for the
purpose became exhausted.
In addition to providing the Army
and Navy with an official reservoir of
rnrses, tho Red Cross is cataloging
Uio nation’s medical technologists.
Through this program, In which ap
proximately 3,000 technicians have
registered, the Army and Navy will
select such professional personnel as
laboratory workers, dietitians, den
ial technicians, pharmacists and other
■categories of trained technologists.
