RECORD DISASTER YEAR
KEPT RED CROSS BUSY
In 192 Places in United States
Its Relief Operations
Cost $737,603.
On* hundred and ninety-two disas
ter* resulting In 735 deaths and injury
to 1,933 persons, rendering nearly
4-1,000 homeless and causing property
losses estimated at more than $44,760,-
000, established a new record in the
United State* in the year ended last
Jan* 30. according to report* of the
American Red Cross. In all of thee*
disasters Immediately relief activity
was applied by the Red Cre*a, which
expended 1737.003.37 through the aa
tienal organisation aad the local
Chapters in assisting stricken com
munities
As the nation's chief relief agency
whose service covers over 48 years,
the Red Cross is expected to be on
duty almost as soon as disaster
strikes any locality. This trust and
confidence is amply justified by the
Increasing equipment of the Red
Cross, which recently organized a mo
bile disaster unit of experienced work
ers ready In all parts of the country
te respond on the Instant to a call
for active doty. This unit is capable
of operating in several disaster areas
under one general direction, and re
cently was at work In seven communi
ties in five states at the same time.
Ability, alertness and increasing
skill of volunteer workers In more
than 8,600 Chapters are reasons for
the preparedness of Red Cross for
disaster operations, be the cell for a
disturbance In a restricted local area
or for millions In relief funds for a
staggering catastrophe such as the
earthquake in Japan.
The Red Cross, however, is far
from being self-saXisfled, tor the or
ganization is giving the most serious
consideration to measures for pre
venting disasters. Its relief adminis
tration and rehabilitation policies
have won for it nation-wide regard
That this important work can always
measure up to every demand needs
the continued support of the Amer
ican people through Red Cross mem
bership. The annual enrollment will
begin Armistice Day, November 11.
and every American is urged to join
or renew membership in the Red
Cross.
Help yourself by helping others
with your dollar Red Cross member

guaranteed.
