RED CROSS TO HELP FLOOD VICTIMS SURVEY MADE TO DETERMINE AID REQUIRED Red Cross to Offer Two Types Of Relief to Those Who Suffered Losses Seeking to aid those who suffered losses in the recent flood, representatives of the American Red Cross have established headquarters in Colton at the office of Joseph P.

Approximately 30 families in the Colton area will be given this aid, Mr. Roche said.

Basis for assistance is determined by the need of a family, rather than its loss, he added.
