Robert G. Savary found that out last Sunday when he needed a friend and fast. His father, Rene R. Savary, 106 Glendale was on the danger list at Strong Memorial Hospital and the 18-year-old airman was on duty in Albuquerque, N.

M. But 29 hours after he learned of his father's illness, young Savary was at his mother's side in Rochester on an emergency furlough arranged by Rochester Red Cross Chapter's Home Service Department. According to Red Cross workers, it was one of the fastest verification of an emergency ever done here. "I have never heard of such fast service," said Savary. "Naturally was concerned about my father's condition.

I wanted to get home as fast as I could. But I knew that verification often takes two days, when you take into consideration the distance between Rochester and New Mexico. Actually, I hardly had time to think before that verification from Rochester was received and the commanding officer had given me my emergency furlough papers." His mother's telegram with news of his father's illness reached Savary last Sunday just after he had finished "chow." He contacted the Red Cross field director at his base and Rochester Chapter was wired to varify the emergency. Rochester Chapter checked with the elder Savary's doctor and had the verification in the hands of the commanding officer at the base at 5:30 p. m.

Savary got the first plane out of Albuquerque at 2 a. m. Monday. He arrived in Rochester at 6:30 p. m.

His expenses were paid with a Red Cross loan. His father is still ill and Savary yesterday received an extension, also arranged by the Red Cross. Savary knew the Red Cross before he needed it. Just a week before his father became ill, the airman had contributed to a Red Cross drive on his base, a drive similar to the one now being conducted in Rochester. He also was a member of the Junior Red Cross when he was in school.

"Now I can feel that I've had it -I mean a good piece of Red Cross service," he said. "I've heard the Red Cross called the servicemen's friends. From the my heart I can say that the Red Cross has been a friends to me, and a friend in need. I'm a Red Cross booster from now on."
