has done overseas in World War

Disaster Relief. In the United States
last year, the Red Cross gave relief in
260 disasters. Experience has shown
that no community is immune. Our
local chapter has a disaster committee
set up and ready to act at the initial
warning of catastrophe .. . to provide
emergency shelter, food, clothing, and
medical care for the helpless victims ...
to - save lives and relieve suffering. And
after the first shock has worn away,
comes the long job of rehabilitation.

II. The World knows it. Another

glorious page in the history of your

Red Cross is being written.

Each of the 3,754 chapters in the

nationwide Red Cross network .

Here is what your Red Cross chapter

is doing now and will be doing for

years to come.

First Aid. A crash on the highway ..

Cross teaches the funda-
mentals of home nursing to
many citizens. They learn
how to care for simple ill-
nesses, under the doctor's
direction.

Junior Red Cross. Boys

and girls learn first aid,
accident prevention,water
safety, nutrition, and
home nursing in order
to become citizens of
tomorrow.

Volunteer Special Services. Your
neighbor next door or just around the
corner is probably a member of one of the
many Red Cross Volunteer Corps. She may
sew or knit for our hospitalized men; she
may drive for the Motor Corps; she may be a
Nurse's Aide or a Gray Lady. Perhaps she's
a Staff Assistant, or a Home Service worker
... but whatever corps she serves what-
ever she does . . . her time and effort help
stretch the Red Cross dollar.

proper attention, all can produce seri-
ous results. Our chapter in cooperation
with individuals and organizations
maintains mobile first aid units and
highway first aid stations manned by
trained first aiders, who help care for
the victims of traffic accidents until the
doctor arrives. First aid, water safety,
and accident prevention classes are,.
conducted throughout the country.

for Red Cross to carry on in our community. Your individual gifts are its only
source of income. Without you and your neighbors, there would be no Red
Cross. Give to the Red Cross today.
