.'HAT WILL YOUR RED CROSS DOLLAR DO?
HERE ARE FACTS TO SHOW YOU EXACTLY
Red Cross Work In South, Including Health, Nursing, Military Relief
And Other Activities, Illustrated By One
Typical Month.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct.—The man or
woman who gives a dollar for mem
bership in the Americun Red Cross
when the Fourth Roll Call Is held
from November 11 to November 25,
will want to know, among other things,
what that dollar will help to do in
the southern division, of which his
chapter is a part.
Fifty cents of the dollar Is retained
by the chapter, for chapter work. The
other fifty cents goes to the national
headquarters in Washington, to keep
up the national work of the Red Cross.
In this connection, it. is interesting to
note that the Red Cross last year spent
more iu the Boutli than it received
from the south in money for member
ships. Tho budget for next year con
templates a similar program in the
south.
The southern division of the Red
Cross consists of the states ot North
and South Carolina, Tennessee, Geor
gia and Florida. Headquarters of the
division at Atlanta, in order to allow
Just how the money given the Red
Cross is spent in the south, has pre
pared a detailed statement, showing
qne month’s activities in the division.
This month is typical of Red Cross
work In the southern division. From
the summary of its activities. Rod
Cross members may gain a concrete
illustration of tho work their member
ship fees will help to keep going
through the coining year.
During this month the Red Cross
had sixt.v-one nurBing services operat
ing in various parts of the division,
employing a total of seventy - four
nurses. Four new services were es
tablished by chapters during the
month, one service was reopened, five
were withdrawn, and. in addition, the
Red Cross placed one nurse, paying
her salary, with another organization
that had started h'-alth work in that
particular community. That is the pol
icy of the Red Crons to do health
work where it is most needed, and,
whem others are doing Urn same work,
Dot. to compete witli them, but to help
them us far as possible.
The nursing department of the Red
Cross has a bureau called the bureau
of Instruction, engaged in promoting
health work. This bureau organized
fourteen classes in Home Hygiene and
Cane of the Sick during the month.
Uogether. thirty-five classes in this
tect were in operation in thd cl-
m during the month; two hundred
fifty-two new students wero en-
! and one hundred and seventy
u and girls completed the in
struction.
The bureau of dietetics. through
which classes are organized to teach
women arid girls the right sort of food
to cook and serve to make good
health, carried on instruction work,
during the month at such places
as Converse College at Spar
tanburg, S. C., the West Tennessee
State Normal School and Wiuthrop
College in North Carolina. The bu
reau reported the appointment of a
city dietitian at Nashville, Tenn.,
where the Red Cross Chapter set
aside $2,000 for her salary and $500
for incidental expenses in connection
with nutrition work. The bureau, in
co-operation with other divisions, put
on an exhibit in health at the Tri-
State fail* at Memphis, Tenn.
While such work as this was being
done in the field of health by the Red
Cross, it was equally active in its work
for returned soldiers and their families
and similar work for civilian families
in like need of help. The Red Cross
had * 2,051 new cases of this sort dur
ing the month, and reopened 1,580 old
cases, a total of 3,661 cases. An idea
of the number of soldiers and civilians
helped in the different states may be
gained from the following report for
the month:
Georgia, 1.006 soldiers' families ai|l
ed, 65 civilian families aided; Florida,
1,941 soldiers' families aided and 570
civilian families aided; North Caro
lina, 1,062 soldiers' families aided and
68 civilian families aided; South Car
olina, 1,431 soldiers’ families aided, 241
civilian families aided; Tennessee, L,-
093 soldiers’ families aided and 44 ci
vilian families aided. A-total of $3,-
691 iu financial aid was extended to
soldiers’ families, and $1,230 to civil
ian families.
First aid was taught by the Red
Cross during the month in classes at
the Middle Tennessee Normal and, In
dustrial scRpol at Murfreesboro, Tenn.,
the Asheville Summer school at .44%u-
ville, N. C., the University of Florida
at. Gainesville*, Fla., the Tennessee
A. and 1. State Normal school at
Nashville, and the A. and E. college
ut West ttalelgh, N. C. New students
to the number of 144 were enrolled
In these classes, and first aid certifi
cates, showing the holder was profi
cient in first aid principles, j^ere giv
en to 135 students.
' ; Lire saving corps * were organized
by the Red Cross during the month
at. a number of (daces, and other
corps, previously organized, did fine
work at some of the beaches. Several
rescues by members of the corps were
reported, while others assisted iu res
cues.
The Red Cross did no disaster re
lief work during the month in ques
tion, as no disasters occurred, but, at
any time the Red Cross is ready to
respond to cities stricken by fire, flood*
tornado or pestilence. Because tho
schools were closed during this month,
there were no activities of tho Junior
Red Cross to report, but with the
opening of the schools in September,
thousands of children throughout the
southeast joined in various helpful
plans of the Junior Red Cross.
With all of this work, the Red Cross
continued to carry on its first duty
and its responsibility to the man in
uniform.
** During the month the Red Cross
maintained adequate forces of work
ers at twelve different army posts,
camps and hospitals in the division,
serving a total of 13,752 men, of whom
700 or more were patients in two
general army hospitals. In addition,
Home Service, as it is called, was
giver, to 1,14s new cases, 6-12 closed
case,; 'tjud 4,071 other cases v. hero in
formation of all sorts in regard to pay,
Liberty bonds, insurance and the like
was furnished.
One of the most potent influences at
these posts was the "homo influence”
of the .Red Cross. Tho men were en
couraged to write letters home, station
ery was provided, and, where a man
was illiterate, tho Red Cross wrote
his 1-*' for him. The boys were
mu that the Red Cross work
ers friends, that they had
so,. ,o to, some one who felt
a sye ,atactic interest in then- wel
fare.
The Rod Cross also did work at
six United States public health hos
pitals in the southern division, and
served United States public health ser
vice patients at eight other hospitals
of which they were inmates. Besides
"home service,” the Red Cross gave
them recreation, distributed necessary
supplies and developed the local in
terest of the respective communities
in the patients and the hospitals.
This is the sort of work—in health,
social service, among tho posts and
camps, for disaster relief, first aid,
homo dietetics, home hygiene and car**
of the sick, and the Junior Red Cr I
—that will be carried on durir
coming year through the doll,
