John Barton Payne, chairman,
has announced.
The ttvo major services of the so
ciety—service to war veterans and
their dependents, and rellof In disas
ters—show each year a greater num
ber of persons helped by the Red
Peuslon legislation passed recently
for World War Veterans, and Increased
allotments to all Spanlsh-Amerlcan
War Veterans, have given to Chapters
and the national society many thou
sands of additional cases to handle,
judge Payne said.
in the past year help was given la
10S disasters. Ninety of these were In
the United States, twelve In foreign
possessions and six were in foreign
countries.
Health activities of the Red Croat
also are being extended, especially
in the rural communities where all
health authorities agree the greatest
need exists. Red CrosB. with 794
nurses lu Its employ, is the greatest
omploycr of public health nurses In
rural areas In the United States.
In its campaign against accidental
deaths, begun twenty years ago with
its life saving and first aid programs,
the Red Cross now has adopted an ad
ditional program—that of combating
the huge toll of life from automobile
accidents on tbe highways.
Expendltu.es of the Red Cross In the
past year were $4,264,796.34, of which
fl.20S.151.09 was spent In disaster
relief, the chairman pointed
"The Rod Cross depends upon the
public for its support, through their
memberships enrolled once each year
in the period from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day," Judge Payne said.
“We do not recclvo any support from
the Government, or through other tax
ation. although as the President of the
United States Is president of the so
ciety. and one-third of Its governing
members are representatives of U. S.
Departments, It ranks as a soml-gov-
cramenta! agency.
“By Joining as a member. In the
local Rod Cross Chapter, onco each
year, during tho annual Roll Call,
every citizen will have a part In car

task,"

Readiness to act In an emergency,
should a disaster strike, has becomo
part of the Red Cross Chapter pro
gram in thousands of communities.
1 he need for this training of local
committees was revealed last year,
when more than ninety communities
required disaster relief work by tho
Red Cross.
As In former years, tornadoes
brought the greatest damage. Twenty-
four serious tornadoes occurred. Fire
also took toll of li.'a and property In
twenty-four communities. Seven forest
flrei did great damar-*: cS-btccn nreaa
were nlfccted by floods, and nine
storms caused heavy losses. Other
cloudbursts, cyclones,
epidemics, mlno explosions and ship
wrecks. In the Insular possessions of
tho United States the Red Cross gave
rellof In twelve disasters, chiefly from
hurricanes. In foreign countries re
llof was given by the American Red
Cross In six Instances of earthquakes,
floods and to refugees.
Tho disaster relief work of the Red
Cress cost $1,208,151 lost year. Sta
tistics showed an approximate death
rate of 790 persons In these disasters;
buildings destroyed or damaged,
19.57S: persons Injured. 1.487, and per^
assist ad by the Red Cross. 9G.872.
Through disaster preparedness of
Red Cross Chapters, undoubtedly great
numbers of lives wore saved, and
much distress and grler following tbe
calamities was prevented, according
to James L. Fieser. vice chairman In
charge of domestic operations ot the
Red Cross.
“This type ot work is supported by
the memberships of citizens of the
United States, their volunteer contri
butions. and their devoted work." Mr.
Fieser said.
“Every man and woman Is urged
to join as a member ot the local Red
