No treacherous saboteur did this-but a good American
who just didn’t know any better. Paper is a war mate
rial-today critically scarce. It is needed for bombs,
planes, shell containers —for transporting food and
blood plasma—for camouflage nets, cartridge cases, gas
mask canisters. If you burn waste paper, qr throw it
away—you destroy part of our vital
war supplies. Don’t commit sabotage!
Save waste paper-turn it in! And tell
all your friends to do the same!

Redi Cross Field Men Deliver Supplies, |
'Provide Recreation Despite Enemy Fire |

SILHOUETTED against a Paci
fic sky at night, American
lighting men relieved from action
for a much-needed rest watched
an American movie, hidden from
enemy dyes by heavy tropical
jungles. In the background a
Navy chaplain listened as his
•companion, an American Red
Cross field director, spoke of his
work:
, . Yes, Padre,” he said,
“Sometimes I feel I am doing the
■ work of a Chaplain, too.”
This from Field Director Don
Morse of Webster, N. Y., crystal
lizes, perhaps, the feelings of Red
• Cross representatives who serve
American armed forces on today’s
far-flung fronts. His companion,
Lt F. P. Gehring, USNR, known
in the southwest Pacific as the
"Guadalcanal Chaplain,” recently
described the work of Morse and
Ids Red Cross assistant, Raymond
McAllister of Council Grove, Kan.,
in a letter to American Red Cross
National Headquarters.
“I wish to pay tribute to the
splendid work and cooperation of
your Red Cross representatives in
this part of the southwest Pacific
combat area," he wrote, “who
have carried on their activities de
spite enemy bombings and other
hazards.
“They have converted a dense
jungle area into a suitable recre
ation spot for all the service men
of the island. A large outdoor
-movie theatre with a tropical Bet
ting, a native hut sheltering the
men from intense heat of the sun
and giving library facilities and
game rooms that could house a
hundred or more; music, soft
drinks . . . and yes, doughnuts,
these are some of the wonders
performed by Morse and McAllis
ter.”
But Red Cross field men don’t
think of their work as "wonders
performed.” Their job is to be
on hand wherever and whenever
needed to do what they can to
bring relaxation, comfort, and a
boost in morale to our armed
forces.
Less than an hour after the
initial Marine landing on Cape
Gloucester, Red Cross field direc
tors Philip Layton and Clarence
Anderson reached the shores of
that forward post still under fire,
loaded with comfort and recrea
tional supplies to serve that fight
ing unit.
When Gordon Jackson, assigned
to an American Ranger Unit in
Italy, moved up to the front with
“his boys”, he found his supply
problem almost as imposing as
that of keeping alive. When an
outfit is in action, nearly every
hour presents an emergency. A
fellow’s cigarettes get wet. He
loses his razor and toothbrush.
Jackson trekked through mud,
rain, and enemy shellfire to bring
up dry cigarettes, matches, candy,
toilet articles, and reading ma
terial. H« bandied emergency
REALLY FAST!
j A group of British and American
sailors were swapping yarns about
their ships. “I’m curious about your
carriers,’’ one British tar said. “How
fast are they?’’
One American turned his wad ol
gum over. “Well, to tell you the
truth, chum,” he replied. “I don’t
know. We’ve never really opened
them up. All they’ve been required
to do so far is to keep up with the
planes.”
Tough Customers
j ! “Well, ma’am,” explained the
merchant seaman who didn’t like to
boast about losing a leg when his
ship was torpedoed, “I was swim
’ ming towards a lifeboat when a
. shark grabbed me by the leg.”
! “Gracious! And what did you do?”
j “Oh, I let him have it. I never
argue with a shark.”

Gob—How did you like Venice?
Marine—l only was there a few
days. The place was flooded.

messages and loans.
It wasn’t heroism or love of
danger or a wish to work miracles
that kept him going. It was his
job to look after American sol
diers.
“It should bring some comfort
to the folks back home,” the
Guadalcanal Chaplain put it,
“that their American Red Cross
has sent capable representatives
to look after our American boys.
"While mothers, wives and
sweethearts are giving their spare
time at Red Cross Centers making
bandages for our boys over here,
perhaps it will help them a lot
in knowing that besides aiding the
nurses and doctors in binding the
wounds of the boys who fall on
the battlefields, their cooperation
with the American Red Cross
makes it possible for these men
to bring comfort and cheer to
brave sons so many thousand* of
mile* from home.’’ „ i
