"Training for leadership and community service must be provided for young people in elementary school through Junior Red Crass, and in high schools and colleges through training sessions and membership on our boards, especially in Raleigh County," Mrs.

Winter said. She pointed out (hat Raleigh County is one of the first communities in the country to have a youlh Red Cross program.

She told the group that Harriman said (here is no short cut lo solving the underlying difif- cultics which have resulted in the simultaneous demand on the part of segments of our population to receive an co.nal oppoiv tunity. This right is inherent in ie constitution of Ihe United ales, but perhaps has been ie most difficult to achieve in ie history of the nation. "All of us must continue to rive toward the fidlfillinent ot ie American Dream," Mrs. Winter reported General James Collins, president of the onal Red Cross, as saying. Collins was quoled by her as ayiug "None of us can con- one unlawful acts or violence, ul, it is incumbent that every merican participate as bcsl can to bring order out pt laos, and no organization in ic country is better qualified irough its resources of knowl- dgc and experience and man- owcr to lend a hand in this real task.

The Red Cross has ie know-how. It also is highly ualified, for it is the largest olunteer organization in the ountry, and in the spirit of the olunteer lies the nation's trength." chairman of the Red Cross, said the board of governors of tht group had formally vowed hot! to aid the victims of riots ani to work toward curing the socia ills which precede them.
