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. Transjordan Arab Chief Wants to Rule.
