The hospital garments are given to
veterans and the surgical dressings go
to civilian or Veterans’ Bureau hos

Chapters also maintaln well stocked
closets of surgical dressings and gar
ments, in order to be prepared should
a disaster strike their communities.
Volunteer workers make children’s
-clothing and layettes which are dis
tributed in time of major catas

War, still are maintained by many
Red Cross Chapters. Last year the
varfons Motor Corps, some with am
bulanoes, answered about 80,000 calls,
and the Canteens served more than
20,000 persons. They were especially
setive where floods or forest fires or
ofher catastrophes called for feeding
refugees or firemen engaged in active
work fighting disaster.
Another activity of women volun

Calls for ald came from eleven
other mations .in which earfhquakes,
floods and other problems caused dip

Red Cross sent $76,300 to help in re
lieving the suffering.
The catastrophe causiig-the gremt

more than 2,000 -lives were lost in
Florida, Porto Rico and. the Virgin

In all, thirty-elght states were:vis
