Eight here on the Home Front, the Red Cross is
>- doing a tremendously important job in relieving
the pressure of war on civilians. This pressure is
especially heavy on servicemen’s families. Their fears
and worries and griefs deserve and get special atten
tion from the Red Cross.
But in this war, all are affected. And the Red Cross
reaches out to aid all—in many and varied ways.
Below a few typical scenes show the Red Cross in
action on the Home Front!
WHEN lETTiltS STOP, G.L Joe's
family turns to the Red Cross for
help and advice. Aad the Red
Cross sets in motioo its world
wide organization to locate Joe
and find out what’s up!
GIRI WITH A HUNDRED JOBS!
Red Cross Motor Corps girls are
"alerted” for the duration. They
drive hospital ambulances, mili
tary vehicles, blood donor trucks,
and their own cars. They an
trained to meet all emergencies!
WHEN JOI RETURNS—WOUNDEDI Red
Cross Recreation and Hospital Workers

relieve the worries that spring up in sick
men’s minds. And when Joe and his
family meet again, both have been pr*»
pared by talks with Red Cross workers#

happier generation because of Home Nursing courses

IHC NURSE SHORTAGE is being relieved in civilian hospitals every-)
where by Red Cross recruited-and-trained Nurse’s Aides. The Red
Cross also recruits and trains Dietitian’s Aides—a very important
part of hospital work.
DOMESTIC DISASTERS INCREASE IN WARTIMfl During the past fiscal year, there were 257 dis,
asters in the United States—more than ever recorded for any single year. And the Red Cross
was on the scene for all of them! Victims were fed, clothed and sheltered by the Red Cross!
And that’s not all. The Red Cross also works with local agencies in the long-term job of rebuilds
ing homes and providing mediatl care for the injured;
GIVE NOW!
GIVE MORE!
Will the Red Cross continue to relieve the worries o£
servicemen’s families? Will the Red Cross continue
to help wounded veterans adjust to their handicaps?
Will the Red Cross continue to be on hand when dis
aster strikes?
The answer lies with you—with America! For thtf,
Red Cross is your Red Cross. It is supported entirely;,
by your voluntary contributions. You are asked to
contribute just once a year. The time for giving to
, the Red Cross in 1945—is now!
Give now and give more! For in
1945 more and more veterans will
be brought home. They and their
families will have more and more
need for Red Cross services! Give
—that the Red Cross may continue
to give to them!
KEEP YOUR RED CROSS AT THEIR SIDE, TOO!
