GUEST EDITORIAL
The Red Cross in War Time
—Page 7
By FRED M. BUTZEL
Member Executive Committee, Detroit Chapter of
American Red Cross
In war time the American Red Cross expands and carries on a •
multitude of extremely important activities. Hospitals and recreational
programs in the camps and overseas, nursing service and the - collection
and preparation of blood plasma, special service for
the families of the men in the armed forces, knitting
for our soldiers, sailors and marines, and numerous
other related -services are financed and serviced by the
American Red Cross. Although it has a highly trained
professional staff it probably commands the services of
more volunteers than any other organization. In the
objects of its services it knows no limitation of color,
creed or status.
The International Red Cross, of which the Ameri-
can Red Cross is a part, arranges for conventions re-
garding the treatment of prisoners • of war, specially Fred M. Butzel
the wounded, and is a means of communication between hostile countries
inasmuch as neutral Switzerland is the headquarters and channel of
communication.
Three million dollars to be raised in this city in the, month of
March is not a large quota for Metropolitan Detroit and this amount
represents not only our national contribution but the special 'fields
covered in the city. Our Home Service Section is necessarily very
heavily burdened in war times since many families must be aided until
the allotments come for the men in the service. The American Red
Cross is also the family counselor for obtaining the various government
benefits for the men and the families of the men in the service.
• As usual the members of our Jewish community will respond gen-
erously to the request for funds and will do it cheerfully. We are heavily
represented in the armed forces and outside of patriotic reasons we have
this selfish reason for aiding the American Red Cross.
