The promotion of health is no idle .term -it is an active task. What service does your community lack? What are you doing• to p:; ov:de that service? . When victory 'comes the war will -still not be finished for many of the suen and women. What are your, plans to assist those who come home wounded and disabled? What are your plans to assist in health work among the children of your community? "Only you can know the need in your community. Study that need - plan to meet .it -then you will know that through Red Cross you are do- ing your part to build a world where all may live`in happiness and peace."
