Thousands of fami- . lies in ruiml areas of 11 midwestem and southed states were affected. Red Cross chapter workers who last year helped their communities tiirough 280 disasters hare again worked ’round the clock. Assisting them have been doctors, nurses, and others, rushed by ttw Red Gross to stricken areas. Surreys for tiie re*‘ fnmishtog, rebuikling, and repairing of damaged or destroyed^ homes, barns, and other buildings began im- Biediately. Rehabilitation will be com pleted in March.. Undoubtedly new disasters ;will strike during the spring months ud will keep the organization ^working at top speed in this humani tarian parade which nerer ends. In proriding food, clothing, shelter, medical and nursing care, rarying problems confront the Red Cross, par ticularly in rural sections. In flooded Mississippi rall^ areas. Red Cross has obtained a priority re- lehae of *410080 trailers to supplement tents used in sheltering farmers res- • cued from flooded areas. When eracu- ation of farm families and lirestock has been necessary, coast guard and navy, boats hare assisted.' RMentcoal shortages in disaster areas were re lieved when Red Cross action resulted in diversion of fuel to critical sections. An hour after sturveys lure been eompletsd, Uie Red Cross has obtained priority releaM of lumber and other bnfldiiv materials*- Ineluded has been acrsen wins to help prevent the spread , af disease in malaria affected areas.' In floods and hurricanes, 4ocal Red Cross disaster i^its, through advance weather bureaU adviso'ri^ have warned residenta in time for safe evacuation; in remote sections; they have effected rescues. In all disas ters, tornadoes, Area, floods, hurri- canea,Jrain wrecks, they have qtiickly sought out injured, given first aid, and arranged hospital caSre. .Hundreds of thousands of homeless have been sheltered, clothed, and fed. In Paterson, New Jersey, a new chapter disaster chairman successfully tackled problems of the worst flood in that city'i history. Two days after a Red Cross disaster conference in Montgomery, Alabama, a tornado^ ripped through thC^ity. Outstanding cars given the injured wrote a bright page in the year's disaster history. In states where polio outbreaks oc curred, Red Cross chapter volunteers hurriedly improvised hospital articles. In Salt Lake City, Disaster Senrice supplied face masks, children’s night gowns, hospital shirts, surgical gowns for nurses, blankets, and sbhets. M^cn flannelette could not be found for hot packs. Red Cross supplied 1,000 diap ers for the purpose. ■ But whether disaster, or any of many other Red Cross services, all are available to people in rural communi ties no less ^n in large cities. Home nursing, farm accident prevention, as sistance to families of men in uniform and to veterans—^these services con tinue year-in, year-out. During Mardi the Red Cross is appealing for flOO,- 000,000. It needs every bit of tiiat amount to meet obligations to tihe armed forces and civilian population. ’^We an have a share in the Ameri can Red Cross,” said Basil O’Conbor, Bed Cross Chairman, when announc ing the appeal. “Let’s aU maintain that share by contributing generously to the 1048 4^uid Campaign and keep ing our Red Cross society the strong est in the world.” Ward Belcher Himie Has Been Sold To New York Couple Mr. And Mrs. WArren.L.
