The state game commission dii-|

The commission issued the edict

then came reports of farmers,

Most of the critic*,'am came from

HEN the West Indie* hur
ricane swept over Palm
Beach Cdunty and the Lake
Okeechobee district of Florida iu
September, leaving more than L*00
persons dead In Its path of destruc
tion and thousands homeless, the
American Bed Cross was called
Into one of the most extensive dis
aster relief operations iu Its history.
With the preliminary warning of
the storm in Porto Rico and other
islands of the Caribbean sea. the
Red Cross in Washington had
started six relief workers for the
Florida* area before the storm
struck there,* and soon these were
joined by a staff of dpetors, nurses
and other trained relief workers.
For thirty days there was a dally
average of 15.000 persons depend
ent upon the Red Cross for suite-
nance, shelter and clothing.
At the same time a iafge staff of
Red Cross workers and nurses had
been sent to Porto Rico, where for
several weeks the organization was
feeding * and clothing more than
400.000 men, women and children.
Here she'ter was not such a great
requirement, but the spread of con
tagion became a serious matter and
a large group of nurses had to be
sent by tbo Red Cross.
Tbe Red Cross, through procla
mation by President Cool!dg*,a!so
president of the Red Cross) and
Judge John Barton Payne, chair
man, asked the habile to contribute
a minimum of 15,000,000 for the
relief of the sufferers In the hurri
cane. #> Within a short period of
time, this sum had been given by
tbe public, and was oversubscribed.
Thirty days after the storm, the
Red Cross in Florida had returned
a great many refugees to their
homes, which had been made hab
itable, the feeding problem was not
so great and those still homeless
were gathered in two tent colonies
near West Palm Beach. But the
great problem of rehabilitation
still remained. A. L. Schafer, di
rector of the Florida disaster re
lief for the Rad Cross/ estimated
that 11,600 families were affected
by the-storm, through loss of their
homes, damage to crops, etc* and
might require assistance. The rw
hahllltatlon assistance given by
the Red Cross Included food, feed
for live stock and poultry, clothing,
medical aid* seed* household fur
nishings, building and repairs, live
stock and poultry to restock farms
This disaster occurred after the
close of the Red Cross fiscal ysar,
which ended June 30. 1928. In that
fiscal year the Red Cross had given
assistance *la 66 disasters in the
United States and possessions, and
22 disasters abroad. In each In
stance the Red Cross met the call
from Its own funds and did net ap
peal for relief from the public. It
wgg able to meet these needs from
its national resources, which are
provided largely through the an
nual membership campaign. This
year the Red Cross asks for 5.000.-
000 members in the roll call, from
Armistice Day to Thanksgiving
Day, November 11 to 20. •
