A history of the disasters In the United States in any year is written annually by ^he American Red Cross, according to" Chairman John Barton Payne, commenting on the report for the year ending June 30. 1934. which has just been issued in Washington. “Because of the charter provision which places upon the Red Cross the responsibility for disaster relief, our chapter and staff workers are notified of all calamities of storm and fire and flood,” he continued. “The emergency period may prove to be brief, in chses where the victims have their own re sources to draw on. While it lasts, however, whether it brings the imme diate need of food, clothing and shelter for the homeless, or entails a program of invostigatloo and rehabilitation, the Red Cross is the official director of all relief.” A great variation in type, and a J.

"Technique acquired by the Red Cross In these disasters and the bun dreds of others we have bandied is at the service of the public.” Chairman Payne said. “To make this possible the disaster relief service has Issued a manual containing Instructions for 'chapters Interested in advance prepa rations for emergencies. Disaster In- stituea were held last year in 2ft strategic locations, to enable Red Cross end civic workers to formulate plans for possible disaster emergencies in their communities." Support of the disaster relief activi ties of the Red Cross comes from the annual roll call held each year from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day. E CURES supplied by typical, well- managed banks in dlffaydbt parta of the country show that a high propor tion of gll applications for loans have been granted in the past year or two. says Albert W. Atwood in a recent arti cle in TAe Saturday Evening Pott on "The idle Dollar.” Excerpts from Mr. Atwood's article follow: “Frequently banks state that as high as 90 per cent ot.all much applications are granted and for from 60 to 73 per cent of the amount asked for. Allow ing that the bankers make these tigures as favorable to their own case as pos sible. it seems strange that we are told again and again that banks are not lending at all. "If we take into account the. whole claEB of regular bank borrowers, the plain fact is very few want to borrow yet.

Knowing our needsi for whom Hie tendrils of may twine He sends ns hearts on which we lean When in His wisdom He To the voters of South Carolina: Eight proposed amendments to the State constitution will be submitted for your adoption in the election to be held next Tuesday, November 6. You are requested to note particu larly and carefully Amendment No. 8, which reads as follows: NO. 8. KERSHAW AND LANCASTER COUNTIES. A Joint Resolution to Amend Article X, Section 5, Constitution of 1895, Relating to the Bonded Indebtedness of School District No. 40 in Kershaw and Lancas ter Counties. This amendment applies to School District No. 40, situate jointly in Ker shaw and Lancaster Counties, and embraces the town of Kershaw. The district had the misfortune last March to lose one of its grammar shoots by fire, which was only partly insured in the State Sinking Fund, which sum is totally inadequate to | erect a new building. Only eight year ago, the high school building was destroyed by fire and it was necessary to supplement the amount of insur ance by the issue cf bonds to the constitutional limit to replace that building. The school district is now without other means of replacing this latest lost building and its housing facilities for the accomodation of the pupils are totally inadequate. For that reason only, appeal is made to the voters to vote in favor of Amendment No. 8 in order that the district may have consttutional au thority to vote the additional bonds First aid certificates were issued by the Red Cross last year to 130,972 per sons who finished the course of instruc tion put on by the chapters, included in this list were more than 70,000 fore men. time clerks and other key em ployes on Federal Civil Works projects. Further evidence of the government's endorsement of the first aid program is found in projects now under way where Red Cross chapters, at the re quest of the War Department, are giv ing first aid instruction in CCC camps. Where It has been requested by Army engineers the same instruction ia also made available to key men working on federal water conservancy and flood control projects. War Veterans* Problems Increase Last year American Red Cross chap ters dealt with the problems of nearly 400,000 veterans and their families. The workers find that as the years go on their responsibility increases rather than decreases. Changes in legislation, the increasing age of veterr.na and the consequent increase in physical ills, bring new needs for sympathetic treat ment by trained Red Cross workers. In addition to this service to veteraps the Red Cross served as the official medium between the people and the men in mili tary and naval service, giving aid through this service last year to 6.979 men in the army, navy and marine corps. on Morro Castle and at ome, Alaska, Received Help of Red Croat Workers servati ve to say that those able to main tain high credit ratings have been most ly the ones able to maintain ampie cash resources and. therefore, least tr- need of credit. As prices and cost., fell, many concerns found themselves with plenty of cash because jot the ■shrinkage in operations. Cash resources were still further swollen by redneed dividends, and smaller Inventories made batik bor rowings still less necessary. “Expressed in another way. banka cannot expand credit, they cannot make loans, unless there is a demand for the same. Fundamentally, the business transaction makes the loan, the loan does not make the transaction. It ia a mistake to try to force npon business organizations fund* which they do not need. Under the circumstances the ‘idle dollar’ ia a natural and proper enough phenomenon. A demand for credit la dlfflcott to create arttnclaily. and there ie always danger in so doing. “Banks must be liquid enough st all times to pay depositors. The Idea of a commercial loan Is that It represents a setf-Hqutdattng process In business.

Government Lending "As everybody knows, the Govern ment has vast lending agencies, for home owners, farmers, and the like. These have nothing to do with the sub ject of this article, except that ail such Government operations would be Im possible if the banks did not lend the Government money for the purpose. "No one can set a time when borrow ing win be resumed. But it will come when me:t once more feel that condi tions are sufficiently settled to warrant them in taking chances, in entering upon dea'.e, and In trying, to make money." Mr. Atwood says that It may be that the banks are overcautious now, just as they were overconfident In 1929. but calls attentiou to the tact that until a little more than a year ago banka were falliup; "partly because they bad loaned too freely, and were being criticized right and left tor precisely that fault” He adds: “Indeed, the banks which bad been cautious in their lending policy came through the criaia safely. Under such conditions it is utterly useless to criti cize banks tor not making loans After the experience they bad for several years, especially in 1932 and 1933, it ia only natural that they should relax their requlrementa very slowly and gradually. "Unfortunately, many of the applica tions for loans are not from people who want temporary banking accommoda tion for three or six months and are quite able to meet their maturity dates, but are from those who really need per manent capital. They are busted and they want someone to stake them to a new start. What they really seek is a partner to furnish them with long-time capital. But depositors insist upon be ing paid on demand, and, therefore, it is a grave question whether banks should tie np their funds tor any length cf time.” potnga an unerring to obtain the necessary funds to sup plement the amount of the insurance to enable them to erect a new gram mar school building.

Included in them have been a flood in Kentucky, following a aeries of cloudbursts in August; epi demics of disease which threatened several sections, including some caused by drought cooditions. Red Cross workers found much to do tor the survivors of the Morro Castle fire and for those engaged in rescue work; and Red Crocs re lief went by airplane to Alaska when the famous old gold camp, Nome, burned in September.
