CERTIFICATES
Action of Central Committee (continued)
Junior Red Cross
The Central Committee at its meeting on October 8, 1945,
approved the following recommendation from the report of the National
Committee on Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards, dated October 5, 1945:
Your Committee submits for your consideration
a resolution concerning the position of the
Central Committee with respect to the issuance
of certificates for services in World War II
to members of the Junior Red Cross.
A question has arisen as to the intention of the
Central Committee with respect to issuing certif-
icates for service during the war to members of the
American Junior Red Cross. The report of the
Committee on Insignia, Uniforms, and Awards, approved
by the Central Committee on November 13, 1944, pro-
vided that each person who had given 200 hours or more
of volunteer service should receive a certificate,
without specifically including or excluding members
of the Junior Red Cross.
The national director of Junior Red Cross has
advanced reasons for confining the issuance of these
certificates to adults (copy of his statement attached).
To make the intention of the Central Committee clear
in this respect, it is recommended that the following
resolution be adopted:
The American National Red Cross is sincere
in its appreciation and commendation of the
extensive work and valuable service performed
by the Junior Red Cross during the Second
World War. Since the measurement of Junior
Red Cross service in hours, however, has
never been imposed upon the schools, and
since the majority of Junior Red Cross services
are rendered in the schools, no certificates
for service during World War II shall be issued
to Junior Red Cross workers.
