It is quite timely and fitting that

I Along the nation's highways. In underprivileged
homes and isolated comj
munities, in hospitals, military stations,
schools, and on far-flung beadles,
the work of the American Hod
Cross has been carried on In Increasing
volume, Mrs. Harris pointed out.
In reviewing some of the work
done locully and nationally by Rod
Cross workers during the pust year,
Mrs. Harris said that great strides
had been made In reaching Increasing
numbers of Americans everywhere,
and cited the fact thai In tho
Red Cross campaign to eliminate accidents
In homeB and on farms, 1ft,000,000
householders had been advised
how to eradicate existing accident
hazards.
"Rod Cross public health nurses
made more than 1,000,000 visits to
or on behalf of the sick during tho
past twelve months," Mrs. Harris said. .
"They are carrying out, their work In
communities where nursing and medical
aid are not readily available, including
homes In mountains, In small
country towns, on prairies, and on
isolated Islands off our coasts. At
the same time, those nurses have ex'
ami nod 659,187 school children foot*
possible physical defects that needed
correction, and where it was found
necessary, the proper treatment was
arranged."
; She said, too, that 295,028 persons
' had qualified to stop bleeding for
shock, splint fractures, and give other
emergency treatment following accidents,
and that 88,150 persons had
been trained In life saving and water
safety In an effort to bring about dras?
tic reductions In deaths from drowning.
"While there were few disasters of
spectacular national importance during
the year," Mrs. Harris said, "tho
Red Cross through this period res1
cued, fed, clothed and gave medical
care to 108,589 victims of floods, fires,
storms, explosions and many other
j types of disasters. These have been
scattered over thirty-eight states and
included ten types of natural catastrophes."
