Solve Soldiers' Problems I Thousand* of U. S. fighting men last year .accepted the invitation to discuss their personal problems with Red Crosf field directors who accompany troops to all parts of the world. This picture, taken in London, shows everyone happy after the field men had satisfactorily solved the problems of the two soldiers at the desk. Contributions to the Red Cross 1943 War Fund, now in progress, make this service possible. WASHINGTON, D. C.?The soldier termed Into the Red Cross office at a southern Army camp. His mouth was set In a hard, straight line; his eyes were cold, determined. His wife trailed him as he strode across the reception room; her face was red and swollen from crying. They were not over 22. "I need help," the soldier told the Red Cross field director at the desk. "And I need it fast." The Red Cross field director smiled, .but the soldier did not return it. "All Mright, soldier, let's see what's the * trouble." "If I don't get help I'm goipg over the hill," he blurted. "I'm on aleftmow ?due to move out almost any mlniUerT" Put I'm not going?and leave my Wife with no place to stay." Further conversation developed that the young bride was an expectant mother. She was unable to go home because of her Btepfat*ier. Her husband had no relatives with whom she could stay. And the allotment he had ?made to his wife had not yet come through. Two hours later?after much conversation and planning?the soldier was shaking the hand of the Red Cross field director. The Red Cross man had arranged that the soldier's wife spend the night at the Army camp guest house. Preparations had been completed with a nearby Red Cross chapter for her transportation hack home. The Red j Cross chapter in the girl's home town | had agreed to see that she had proper care until the baby was born. Py that time the allotment would be coming through. In every United States military cs- ( tablishment, at home and abroad, the American Red Cross maintains a field director and staff to help Uncle Sam's fighting men work but such personal problems. More than l.OUb.OUO servicemen passed through the offices of the Red Cross field directors last year. Their problems covered all phases of life ? families needing financial aid, allotments. Illnesses, ceatns, loss or contact with the home folks. Those and other problems are unfolded In a never-ending panorama before Red Cross field directors. Almost always they are solved. I Tho Red Cross field director is ready to furnish Information, counsel, and assistance as needed to men df the armed forces. Reaching into every county In the United States through local Red Cross chapters, these workers and local home- service chairmen act on behalf of the men of the armed forces and their families in matters affecting the welfare of either or both. In addition to the servicemen aided "by- field directors, more than 500,000 families of men in the service received help through Red Cross chapters and branches. Contributions of the American people to the Red Cross during the $125,000,000 War Fund appeal now in progress will help to keep and expand these services to the nation's fighting men. Varied and often unusual are the other demands made of Red Cross field directors. Field Director William Fluharty, stationed in a remote Australian area, traveled down to a railroad junction to bring back 6,000 pounds of American magazines for troops to which he was assigned. Returning on a train, he was asked to help deliver a baby for a native woman, beiatedly en route to a hospital. Rod Cross Field Director Albert S. Campbell and two assistants, David S. Oman and John J. Clancy, Jr., distributed clothes, cigarettes, soap,, razors, tooth brushes, playing cards and other articles to American fighters during one of the most furious Solomon Islands battles. Whatever the welfare and personal problems of American fighters at home or abroad, the field director, backed up by 3.755 Red Cross chapters and 6,000 branches, is the serviceman's best friend in time of need. be worn for service In hospitals In the United States. Capes will be retained as the most serviceable quick-covering garment for hospital duty In this country and abroad, but that, too, will be of live drab in i>hace of navy blue.
