DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Page Fourteen Imagine the added horror of this war without the Red Cross ! Suppose the Red Cross had never been created would now be no Army of Mercy to save and T comfort the millions of lives wrecked or dislocated— all over the world—by earth's most destructive war. No HERE : NOW Apt • . its s 1147•;si ° Thousands of War Prisoners would be forgotten. That they have not been abandoned to their fate in this war is the achievement of your Red Cross, which has constantly reached them, even in Japan, with morale-building parcels of food, extra clothes, medicines, cigarettes and other comforts. More and more of your dollars are urgently needed to keep our men in life, health and hope until they can be brought safely home! Thousands at Front would be tormented by Home Worries. Millions of fighters bless the Red Cross for relief from anxiety. Each week thousands of messages pass between Red Cross Field Directors with the troops and Home Service workers in home towns—emergency questions about wives, children, as eethearta or parents. Your dollars will bolster fighting spirit. GIVE NOW_ GIVE MORE millions of pints of blood would be collected for plasma. No millions of heartening, sustaining food packages would be delivered to despondent Allied war prisoners. No emergency messa ges from home would reach our men. No giant hand of compassion would be outstretched to help the victims of flood, famine and hurricane. Only chaos would be left in the wake of battle and catastrophe—if the RED CROSS' hand of mercy were withdrawn! It is up to you to give—in gratitude that your RED CROSS was created—and grew to keep pace with the world's anguished need. Give your dollars now—give more than ever before! Thousands would die from loss of blood where they fell. This is the first war in which -the folks at home actually saved lives at the front. Surgeons General of the Army and Navy say blood plasma has been the feremcst life-saver in this war. The Red Cross, through your blood donations and money, has collected and distributed millions of pints to the medical services.
