NINETY DISASTERS CALL OUT RED CROSS Vice Chairman Fieser Cites $1,200,000 Spent in Relief Chapters Aid in Readiness to act in an emergency, phould a disaster strike, has become part of the Red Cross Chapter program in thousands of communities. The need for local committees was revealed last year, when more than ninety communities required disaster relief work by the Red Cross. in tornadoea brought the greatest damage. Twenty-four serious tornadoes occurred. Fire also took toll of life and property in twenty-four communities.

Seven forest fires did great damage; eighteen areas were affected by floode, and nine storms caused heavy losses. Other disasters were cloudbursts, cyclones, epidemics, mine explosions and shipwrecks. In the insular possessions of the United States the Red Cross gave relief in twelve disasters, chiefly from hurricanes. In foreign countries relief was given by the American Red Cross in six instances of earthquakes, floods and to refugees. The disaster relief work of the Red Cross cost $1,208,151 last year.

Statistics showed an approximate death rate of 790 persons in these disasters; buildings destroyed or damaged, persons injured, 1,487, and persons assisted by the Red Cross, 96,872. Through disaster preparedness of Red Cross Chapters, undoubtedly great numbers of lives were saved, and much distress and grief following the calamities was prevented, according to James L. Fleser, vice chairman in charge of domestic operations of the Red Cross. "This type of work is supported by the memberships of citizens of the United States, their volunteer contributions, and their devoted work," Mr. Fieser said.

"Every man and woman Is urged to join as a member of the local Red Cross Chapter, not only to be a partner in supporting the work through hia membership, but also to serve should au emergency occur." Join Red Cross," Urges Vice President Curtis America's prominent citizens join in urging all men aud women to become members of the Red Cross during the period of the annual roll call from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day. The Honorable Charles Curtis, Vice President of the United States, says: "The American Red Cross is in a position to and does more to relieve those stricken by misfortune than any other-organization in the world. Its splendid work has done much to bring a frienly feeling in all parts of the world for the people of our country because they sustain the American Red Cross. This wonderful organization is entitled to the liberal support of our people." Tho Honorable Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, says: "No one can predict when or where disaster may occur or acute emergency arise.

The American Red Cross represents our community insurance against such misfortunes. The organization stands ready at all times to render speedy relief to any stricken area in our own country or to assist in the relief of disaster in foreign countries. The Red Cross is the agency which carres on when emergency has disrupted customary modes and means of life in a community." ciety many thousands of additional cases to handle, Judge Payne said. In the past year help was given in 108 disasters. of these were in the United States, twelve in foreign possessions and six were in foreign countries.

Health activities of the Red Cross also are being extended, especially in the rural communities where all health authorities agree the greatest need exists. Red Cross, "With 794 nurses in its employ, is the greatest employer of public health nurses in rural areas in the United States. In its campaign against accidental deaths, begun twenty years ago with its life saving and first aid programs, the Red Cross now has adopted an additional that of combating the huge toll of life from automobile accidents on the highways. Expenditures of the Red Cross in the past year were $4,254,796.34, of which $1,208,151.09 was spent in disaster relief, the chairman pointed out. "The Red Cross depends upon the public for Its support, through their memberships enrolled once each year in the period from Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Day," Judge Payne said.

"We do not receive any support from the Government, or through other taxation, although as the President of the United States is president of the society, and one- third of its governing members are representatives of S. Depart-, ments, It ranks as a semi-governmental agency. "By joining as a member, in the local Red Cross Chapter, once each year, during the annual Roll Call, every citizen will have a part In carrying on -this great humanitarian task."
