Moreover, activity" acti-vity" along the line of general Red Cross work is being revived. The question of production, disaster, preparedness, pre-paredness, training for first aid are among the issues being planned for the coming year. Every person who unde-stands what the Red Cross is standing for is interested in maintaining main-taining the high standard of service which the Red Cross has set for ts-olf. ts-olf. ChanUr memberships are at the back ot the proposed program or the organization, and this means that where the interesct and enthusiasm of the chapters are at par, the policy of the rervice will be proportionately proportionate-ly succefsfuli. Enthusiasm is a won derful rvealer of possibilities in the work. Indeed, the war-time job is by no means over. Thousands of n?en who served during the war are yd in hospitals in various parts of the country; and many more of them are receiving vocational training. In every hospital where soldiers and sailors are being cared for, the Red Cross is found doing its 'characteristic 'character-istic work of mercy. The more we knew of the organization the more plain it :h that it Is not essentially made up of women and children, and that It has additional to the staunch support of these, the strong and determined de-termined hand of men who know that the cause-is worth working for and that it is going to stand by the job until it Is finished. Home service such as is done in the direct intrest of returned ex-service ex-service men is one of the cogs in the great wheel of endeavor. We are determined to show that we realize j .hat the debt which America owb to j :ier fighters will not be considered I naid so long as there is anything; to be done for them which - the Red i Cross can do.
