Sanders, Jr., Saturday afternoon, when her dress caught fire and burned almost off of her back. Her small brother, Jamie, had been digging, as he called .it, “a gold mine” in their back yard and thought he had extinguished flames on the torch he had used near the hole. When Emogene stopped to- examine the operation, her dress caught on fire. Before she knew what had happened, flames were leaping up her back and singeing her hair. Her first thought was to run, but soon she had presence of mind to lie down and roll on the ground. Her mother having heard the screams, reach ed the child in time to tear the remains of the burning clothes from her body. The physician stated that though very painfully burned all along the backbone, the wounds were not se rious ones and within a short while 4 Funeral services for Delma Clif ton Lawrimore, son of Mr. and,Mrs D.

Chapter Chairman Summarizes Red Cross Activitie A delicious served. salad course was | Every State and practically every county shared in the distribution of 85,000,000 bushels of Government wheat and 844,000 bales of Govern^ ment cotton by the American Red Cross, it is shown in a summary of operations released by J. A. Talbert, chairman of the local Red Cross chapter. Flour was placed on the pantry shelves of nearly 6,000,000 families and clothing on the backs of near ly 5,500,000 families, said the execu tive. The Red Cross directed the task from mill to individual bene ficiary. “This unprecedented distribution of Farm Board surplusses consti tuted the backbone of a country wide Red Cross relief program that also included unemployment relief on the part of 2,834 of our chap ters,” said Mr. Talbert. '“This un employment relief embraced co operation with other agencies, di rect assistance, care of families of needy veterans, and providing com munity clearing houses for wel* fare activities. It alone involved an expenditure of $4,000,000 by the chapters, in addition to the valu able gratuitous services of vast armies of Red Cross volunteers.” The figures given out by Mr. Talbert showed that 10,688,307 bar rels of flour had been placed in the homes of 5,803,000 families in 3,- 081 counties of the United States and Puerto Rico. Distribution of the flour, or its equivalent in bak ery products, was handled by 3,645 Chapters and other Red Cross units. Severe drought in many communities in the early part of the undertaking, led to the giving of 23,901 tons of feed to 184,188 owners of livestock. - i “No private flour or textile con cern has ever engaged in such a stupendous operation,” the chair man stated. “The wheat was stor ed at scattered points, the milling was done in many places, the grain was of many grades, and transpor tation costs had to be kept low. The Red Cross made outstandingly successful use of its regular organ ization, assisted by technical ex perts brought in for the purpose. “Cotton distribution was perhaps an even more complicated prob lem, involving as it did the produc tion of 91,677,633 yards of cloth and 53,888,736 garments of many sizes and descriptions. The staple was of greatly varying length, grade and quality. Here again, the regu lar set-up, aided by a small nucleus of specialists, came through with fine efficiency. In 3,075 counties the cotton beneficiaries numbered 5,465,410 families. “Administrative costs, held to the minimum, will require expenditure out of the national Red Cross treas ury, of $285,000 for wheat, and $450,000 for cotton.” . Notwithstanding the extraordi nary burdens created by the eco nomic depression, the relief need: of victims of 120 disasters in the United States and abroad were met t>y the Red Cross in its regular stride, pointed out the local Red Cross head. Other regular services such as First Aid and Life-Saving Public Health Nursing and Home Hygiene, Nursing Service, Service to war veterans, and Junior Red Cross afso went forward. Mr. Talbert calls upon the people of McCormick County for whole hearted support of the annual Roll Call, which chiefly finances the work of the society. “Roll Call is an emergency in itself,” he says, ‘for it largely determines the abil ity of the Red Cross to meet the many emergencies of the year. The need is particularly great this year and I know our people will gener ously respond, November 11 to 30.” x 1 , Attention, Legionnaires You are requested to attend Home Coming Day in McCormick on November 3rd, to take part in the parade.
