The subjects of the other two articles in the series still to appear are "tVhat Haa Been Taught Home Service Workers" and "Or ganizing and Training 30,000 Horn Serv ice Committeemen." By James L. Fleeer, Director, Bureau Civilian Relief, Lake Division, American Red Cross. Mrs. Brown is In pressing need of funds to meet her grocery bill and the government check for her separation allowance is slow to arrive. Or there may be sickness, followed by death and funeral expenses, In the Charnoskl family circle, for which the government allowance, made because of Private Charnoski's enlistment, la Insufficient. Or aged Mr. O'Reilly, overcome by rheumatism, can no longer support himself and Mrs. O'Reilly. Their only son, Barney, is a gunner's mate on man o' war. Yet there Is no govern ment allowance check for the O'Reil lys because Barney, for a year or more previous to his enlistment in the navy, did not have to help the "folks" because Father O'Reilly then was able to boss his gang of street mend ers and keep up the little home on a side street. It Is for the Browns and Onaraoekla and O'KaUlys that the Amerloan Red Cross, through its chapter Home Serv ice Sections, provides monetary re lief In the form of loans (without In terest), grants and allowances. And practically every chapter la Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky Is prepar ing to assist, or has prepared and Is assisting the Browns, the Charnoskls and the O'ReiUya. They are also pre paring to assist relatives of men serv ing in the armies aad navies of our allies. Fully Ixptalns Loans. When It becomes nooesaary (or a Red Cross chapter to loan money to an enlisted man's family, the condi tions of repayment are thoroughly ex plained, the obligations put In writ ing and signed and the coll act! on of the loan carefully followed up when It becomes due. As has already been stated, the Red Cross does not charge Interest for a loan. Grants may be made necessary by demands which the family lnoome and government allowance cannot be ex pected to provide (or, such as sick ness, funerals and need of special training to create or Increase earning power. Orants In small amounts may be required to tide over a period of acute distress until proper Inquiry can be made and a plan of service de cided upon. Allowances are payments at regu lar Intervals of a stated sum by the Red Cross Home Service Sections to the relatives of a soldier or sailor. They are usually limited, though not always, to those not entitled to gov ernment allowance, suoh as, for ex ample, the families of men serving for one of our allies. One may wonder how a Red Cross chapter, buying several thousand dol lars worth of supplies monthly to be made Into surgical dressings, woolen socks and convalescent gowns, can spend money for civilian relief work. Have Civilian Relief Funde. Last summer American Red Cross chapters raised more than a million dollars for the Red Cross War Fund Each chapter was permitted to claim a refund of up to 25 per cent of the amount collected for the expenses of the campaign, for the purchase of raw supplies and for Its civilian relief work. In making claim for refunds, each chapter was required to state how much of the refund was to be ex pended for civilian relief. And now the chapters are obligated to keep the civilian relief portion for civilian re lief work. To date It baa not been necessary to draw heavily from this reserve. IRRESPECTIVE OF THE DIFFER ENCE IN STANDARDS AND COSTS OF LIVING IN THE MANY. COM MUNITIES LOOKED AFTER BY RED CROSS CHAPTERS, THE AMERICAN RED CROSS WILL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH CIVILIAN RE LIEF WORK THAT WILL PERMIT THE LOWERING OF THE STAND ARDS OF LIVING OF THE RELA TIVES OF AN ENLISTED MAN. RATHER, ITS AIMS TEND TOWARD A BETTERMENT OT THESE STANDARDS.
