H. Ferguson chairman of McCormick County Red Cross Chapter, announced today. In cluded in that total are supplies valued at more than $25,000,030 which were purchased by Federal Agencies for distribution by the Red Cross. The remainder was given through the Red Cross special war relief fund contributed by the American people last year; and includes the value of Chap ter produced articles. Mr. Ferguson emphasized that this war relief fund is quite dis tinct from the membership funds received at Roll Call, on which the Red Cross depends for the sup port of its many activities at home, such as disaster relief, serv ice to the #rmed forces, public health, and home nursing, life saving and accident prevention instruction. Pointing out that relief had previously been made available, to the extent that war time condi tions would permit, to Poland, Norway, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands and Yugoslavia, Mr. Ferguson said that in recent months American Red Cross War Relief has been distributed to Great Britain, the British Middle East, China, France, Finland and Spain. More than $25,000,000 worth of j relief has been made available to the British people, with American Red Cross supplies, chiefly in the I form of clothing and medical sup- ! plies, still going across the At lantic at the rate- of about six shipments every week. Supplies of milk, vitamins and clothing were distributed to chil- ! dren only in Unoccupied France, i and limited quantities of medical I supplies have been sent for gen eral distribution under American Red Cross supervision, but no sup plies have been sent to France since April 17, Mr. Ferguson said, and none to Finland since May 29. On the other hand, relief opera tions in China are being con ducted on an ever-increasing scale, Mr. Ferguson reported. Wheat, rice, and vitally needed medical supplies to the value of close to $3,000,000 have already been sent to Free China.
