‘The r. d Cross faces tlie -busiest^
winter since the days, of the World
War.” Chairman John flarton Payne,
said: **It Is organized in virtually every
one of the 3.072 counties in the Ctilted
States, and will cooperate with all
agencies to meet distress wherever •
found. The flour has proved of great
benefit, and the cofton clothing will be
given wide distribution” . ’ ' •
While carrying on nationwide these
unemployment and other relief nieas
ures. the Red Cross also was engaged
in its regular peace-time activities in
public health nursing, service to ex
service men and their families, teach .
ing home hygiene, life saving and first
aid. The Junior Red Cross, composed
of almost T.OOO.OtW school children, also
rallied to the support of the* societVs
relief'efforts, and the children aided
others of their age In practical ways,
formed sewing and food canning
classes, and were of great assistance
in chapter relief work.
While the wlieat and cotton were
given by the U. S. tJoverumenl. no.
money was providtHi to pay for the
necessary work entailed. The Red
Cross will meet this expense of almost
$500,000 from its tfeasury. Citizens
