TRAINING FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE BY RED CROSS (My Sadie vonTresckow ?

Mia. vonTresckow, vice chairman; Mrt?. Harris, second vice chairman and Mrs. Margaret Mayllcld. chalrina.li .social servlco. have returned and report a mont liiHplrliiK and well worth while meeting. Ctdonel vonTresckow attended us a vial tor. The objective of the Institute waa "to coordinate our thinking, niohlll/e our format and In a limited ineuauro l<? train our workers for the task before uh." The importance of the tank confront ins uh makea it necessary that every chapter be fully prepared for any or all eventualities. The Hchedule for the three days' meeting constated of national defense discussion, roll call, disaster preparedness, home and volunteer services and military or naval welfare service. Junior tied Cross work, nursing and health and safety services?the latter Including first aid, water safety and accident prevention. Specialist s In each line of the work acted as Instructors and our own Miss Allie McNeill, field worker for South Carolina, had an important place on the program. The earnestness of the participants and the number of men present gave an impression of the sorlousness of the times and the Importance of lied Cross work which is directly under the government. You knew/these speakers spoke with authority and knowledge and meunt business. The most valuable Informal ion was acquired through personal interviews with the instructors and field representatives. Necessary information could also l?e gleaned from the pamphlets and publications of the Red Cross displayed on tables in the rear <?f the ball room of the Charlotte hotel where the uieetiiiK was held itiul wonderful samples of the handiwork of Mecklenburg county volun* leer workers were shown'---the surgical supplies and layettes being unusually fine, while the work of the Juniors was most interesting. Our Kershaw county organization showed up well , really ahead of some others in our' "set-up" for disaster preparedness?the almost completed work of the first class In first aid and the motor corps formation. Now that the doetojs tire being nailed to the service, special instructors In first aid will have to he provided. Kvory man. womtjn and child must work towards preparedness. There) must he no question "can the lied Cross mobilize its resources and) throw them Into action as rapidly as our factories, our motors, our drill sergeants?" We must be faster than they; we must bo on the move; our Red Cross flug must be there with tile Stars and Stripes! Only thus can we aid Britain to the fullest and help preserve (ho health and freedom of mankind. The Red Cross is the mother of Mercy and Peace. We are asleep at the switch. America must awake to reallilos before it is too late. Sixty years ago today (May 20) the Red Cross was born?fhe whole world pays tribute!
