RED CROSS RELIEF
GIVEN TO VICTIMS
IN 103 DISASTERS
Tornadoes, Fires, Hurricanes,
Floods, Epidemics, Make
Record of Year
A history of the disasters In the
United States In any year is written
annually by the American Red Cross,
according to Chairman John Barton
Payne, commenting on the report for
the year ending June 30. 1934, which
has just beep issued in Washington.
"Because of the charter provision
which places upon the Red Cross the
responsibility for disaster relief, our
chapter and staff workers are notified
of all calamities of storm and fire and
flood," he continued. “The emergency
period may prove to be brief, in cases
where the victims have their own re
sources to draw on. While it lasts,
however, whether it brings the imme
diate need of food, clothing and shelter
for the homeless, or entails a program
of investigation and rehabilitation, the
Red Cross is the official director of all
relief.”
A great variation in type, and a
wide geographical distribution, char
acterize the 103 disasters reported last
year. Tornadoes, hurricanes, hail
storms and other storms made up al
most one half of the total. Especially
numerous were the tropical storms
which swept In from the sea to the
Atlantic and Gulf Coast region. There
were 21 storms of this type, establish
ing a new record for frequency.
Next In number to storms were dis
asters of tire, the report shows. Red
Cross aid was given following 25 fires
in the United States and Insular pos
sessions. The most spectacular was the
Chicago stockyards fire, where Red
Cross workers arrived shortly after the
fire started, administering relief until
the emergency period passed, giving
first aid to about 1,000 persons.
Floods caused serious damage in
some sections, 17 calling for Red Cross
relief. Three explosions were reported,
and three epidemics of malaria and
typhoid fever. A school bus wreck was
one of the year’s tragedies for which
Red Cross funds were needed for re
lief and rehabilitation.
“Technique acquired by the Red
Cross in these disasters and the hun
dreds of others we have handled is at
the service of the public." Chairman
Payne said. “To make this possible
the disaster relief service has Issued
a manual containing instructions for
chapters interested in advance prepa
rations for emergencies. Disaster in
stitues were held last year In 28
strategic locations, to enable Red
Cross and civic workers to formulate
plans for possible disaster emergencies
in their communities.”
Support of the disaster relief activi
ties of tne Red’Cross comes from the
annual roll call held each year from
nlstice Day to Thanksgiving Day.
Sunday morning two young negroes
took one of Mr Foster’s trucks from
The Street for a wild ride toward Mc-
