WORK OF COUNTY
RED CROSS NURSE
Report Shows a Splendid
Year’s Work Done by
Miss Sallie Crow
Miss Sallie Crow, county
Red Cross nurse, ha. prepared
the following report of her
work during the past year,
which shows that a commend
able work is being done in
this county by Miss Crow.
After the signing of the ar
mistice, after the emergencies
of the war had been met by
the Red Cross, the organiza
tion took stock of its assets,
both tangible and intangible,
and found that it had a mem
bership of 30,000,000 Ameri
can citizens, charged with the
spirit of service. In spite of
the National reaction—the let
down following signing of the
armistice—the people were un
willing to dissolve partner
ship with this spirit of ser
vice, so the question arose
“what shall we do now?”
The directors, unwilling for
this great organization to be
come a collossal joke by sitting
with folded hands waiting
for earthquakes, floods or fire
to call it into action, began to
look about for something to
do in the meantime.
One thing uppermost in
their minds was the fact that
the national draft revealed
the fact that one-third of the
young men examined for mil
tary duty were found physi
cally unfit for service, and
that about 74 per cent of the
causes were due to childhood
defects that might have been
prevented or remedied.
They also faced the fact
that an average of 750,000 i
American people die each year
of preventable diseases. In
1918, 300,000 babies died in the
U. S. before they were a year
old—150,000 of them did not
live one month. Tuberculosis,
a communicable, preventable
and curable disease, takes a
toll of 150,000 lives each year.
Last year Arkansas alone lost
3,000 lives of this disease.
Realizing that more lives
were being sacrificed by dis
eases that might be prevent
ed, it was decided to put on aj
nation-wide public health cam-1
paign.
The first step was to turn!
the attention of the chapters
to the use of the Red Cross
Nursing Service in the public
health field in a great meas-'
are to the rural districts. Thi
field has hardly been touched.
Yet it is here that lie the |
causes of the above conditions.!
