SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1923 110 DISASTERS IN YEAR ENLIST RED CROSS AID Nearly $400,000 Spent in United States —Greek Refugee Work Completed. For its preparedness to render re lief through effective and generous aid to the sufferers from disaster the American Red Cross is universally re garded as the one organization from which response to appeal for help is immediate. In the last year, accord ing to the annual report of the Red Cross, its disaster relief operations were carried out in Hi) localities in the United States. This work, with activities carried over from the previ ous year, required the expenditure in the United States of $397,468.04 by the American Red Cross, its Chapters and Branches. In the emergency fol lowing the defeat of the Greelj forces in Turkey and the burning of the city of Smyrna, which entailed the relief of nearly 900,000 men, women and children, Red Cross National Head quarters expended $2,605,696.09. The food distributed in Greece aggregated 25,000 tons; garments, 809,000; blan kets, 48,550; new shoes, 5,000 pairs; medical, hospital and sanitary sup plies, 304 tons. In the feeding of the refugees there was listed upwards of 32,000 children under three years of age. The disasters in the United States during the past year reported 240 per sons killed, 991 injured, 12,691 ren dered homeless. The total property loss was estimated at $20,710,000. Relief of suffering caused by disas ters of such magnitude as to over whelm the resources of the communi ties in which they occur is fundamen tal to the charter of the American Red Cross. In addition to making ap propriations from its treasury and as signing trained personnel to relief work, the Red Cross in disaster cen tralizes and makes more effective re lief funds and supplies contributed by the country at large. Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad ministered more than $20,000,000 for the single purpose of disaster relief. That it may continue to accept the re sponsibilities which grave emergen cies place upon the American Red Gross appeal is made for a nation wide renewal of membership during the annual roll call, which opens on Armistice Day, November 11. and closes on Thanksgiving Dafr, Novem ber 29. Life Saving Work Os Red Cross Corps Wars on Drownings The insignia of the American Red Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath ing apparel of men, women and youths is seen everywhere at favorite bathing places along the coasts, riv ers, lakes and ponds. In its unrelent ing campaign to reduce loss of life by drowning the Red Cross is making constant headway. The demands for instruction from organizations in all parts of the country were so numer ous the past year that it was neces sary to more than double the staff of Red Cross instructors. This work of training for water life-saving showed an enrollment of over 30,000 volun teers enlisted’for duty on patrol, for rescue and resuscitation, all compe tent to instruct others in the standard water-safety methods. The Red Cross by request of the War Department gives water first aid training at the United States Military and Naval academies and in the military training camps for reserve officers and civil ians. The four cash prizes awarded by the Red Cross last year for heroic rescues were conferred upon two girls, a boy and a man, indicating that the youths of the country stand well at the top in conserving life along our water courses.
