BED CROSS CLOTHES
THE NATION'S NEEDY
riour, Bread, Clothing Reach Into
More Than Five Million
Hemes cf Jobless
The greatest task ever undertaken
by a relief agency in the history of
private charity ia drawing to a close
with tho final distribution of cotton
clothing to mere than five million
families by the American Red Cross.
At the direction of the Congress, be
ginning eighteen months ago, the Red
Cross undertook to convert the wheat
and cotton surpluses of the Farm
Board into food and clothing for the
unemployed and needy. In the con
sequent operation, this relief agency
entered upon a commercial enterprise
greater than any single commercial
firm has ever undertaken In the same
period of time.
In the ensuing months the Red
Cross converted 85,000,000 bushels of
wheat into flour and bread and gave it
to 5,803,000 families. The distribution
was through 3,700 Red Cross chapters
and hundreds of other charitable agen
cies. During the severe northwestern
drought of 1931 the Red Cross also
gave wheat in the form of food for live
stock to 184,188 families.
The clothing dresses, underwear,
overalls, jumpers, sweaters and stock
ings for men, women and children, and
even blankets and comforters —was dis
tributed to 5,465,410 families. More
than 54,000,000 ready-made garments
and 92,000,000 yards of cotton cloth
were given to the needy. This clothing
came from 844,000 bales of cotton.
The wheat distribution was conclud
ed In June, 1933, and Anal distribution
of cotton clothing is occurring in the
fall months.
In handling these tasks voted to it
by Congress, the Red Cross will ex
pend from its own treasury $735,000.
At the came time the organization car
ried on its regular program of disaster
relief; of service to the veterans of all
our wars; of educational and welfare
work through the Junior Red Cross;
of health education and public health
nursing and of life saving and first aid.
Funds for this work come from the
membership roll call the Red Cros3
chapters conduct from Armistice Day
to Thanksgiving Day, when every one
is invited to join the Red Cross and aid
in this vital relief work.
Seven hundred thousand women vol
unteers under the Red Cross banner
sewed for the needy last year and
many thousands still are making cot
ton garments for their Red Cross
chapters.
The Red Cross has 3,701 chapters
and 10,000 branches of chapte/s. Thus
It can be mobilized nationwide in a
great relief task within 24 hours.

his associates. He is survived by his

IN CHERISHED REMEMBRANCE
OF DOLLYE MISSE BOND
There is someone who misses you
sadly,
And finds the time long since you
went,
There is someone who thinks of you
always
And tries to be brave and content.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent the voice we loved to hear.
’Tis sad, but true, we wonder why,
The best are always first to die.
—HARVEY BOND AND FAMILY.
