' VETERANS STILL
; NEED RED CROSS
Aid to Disabled Men Increases
as Problems and Legislation
Bring Complications.
’ 20,000 MEN DIE EACH YEAR
Many Entitled to Benefits Still
Uninformed of Just Claims
to Compensation.
, »
Eight years attar the World War
finds service to disabled veterans still
a major responsibility of the Amerl
•an Red Cross.
This situation is due to the Increas
ing problems Involved and the com
plex character es veteran legislation.
There is also an Increase in numbers
of "death cases” handled, as com
pared with claims for living veterans,
though the work for the latter re
mains heavy. About 20,000 ex-service
men are dying each year, a consider
able percentage of these having serv
ice-connected disabilities.
la a majority of cases, Red Cross
Chapters find their assistance is need
ed ia helping dependents present
their claims for death compensation,
insurance payments, bonus, burial al
lowances, and other government ben
efits due them. An episode of the
past year illustrates the difficulties
frequently encountered by the Red I
Cross experts in rendering such as- I
sistanco. A veteran dying from serv
, Ice-connected disease, was trying from
his bedside to establish at that late
time his claim for Government aid to
his family, and the necessary proofs
ware in a physician’s records across
the continent from him. To obtain
the needed affidavits before it was too
late, a cross-continent airplane flight
necessary, then a Red Cross
Chapter in Pennsylvania hurried the
investigation, sending the paper#
back to the veteran and his Red
Cross helpers in Oregon, by air-mail.
U reached there In time.
Another discovery in Red Cross as
sistance to veterans and their fami
lies is that many dependents of these
men unquestionably eatitled to Gov
ernment aid, have struggled along,
Ignorant of their-rights.
Aproximately X. 688 Red Cross Chap
ters carry on Hems Service work, in
assistance to veterans and their dana
lites. The Chapetrs also conduct
campaign among veterans for rein
statement and conversion of their
term insurance. Among its other du-
a _ a (U . .. ‘ 8 nIrAWVk ev- XV w. 6
request of the. Canadian Government
the administration of a fund allotted
to the care of Canadian disabled vet
erans living in the United Stateu.
In the United States the Red Crcsa
assisted an average of about 80,00#
diMblad veterans and their tai itlies
every month in the past fiscal year.
Indicating the size of thia und< rtak
ing, National Headquarters of the
Rod Cross expended $1,641,178.18 on
disabled veterans alone, and $509,- I
481.72 on assistance to men on actlv# ,
duty with the Army, Navy'and Marine
Corps, while Red Cross local Chap
ters expended a total of $1,987,000.
Red Cross assistance to service men
overshadowed evary other phase of
Its paogram, even its disaster relief,
until tha Florida hurricane.
Help ' tor veterans covers many de
mands, from temporary aid until Gov
ernment claims are adjusted or until
the ax-aoldier is properly hospitalized,
to extending capital loans to rehabili
tated veterans endeavoring to become
self-supporting in business. Several
such capital loans were to blind vet
erans.
Contact with veterans In hospitals
Is maintained by Red Cross personnel
which doctors agree influences the
veteran’s welfare and Improvement.
The Veterans’ Bureau was planned
to carry on social work in its hospi
tals for mental cases, and In many
cases the Government and the Red
Cross are co operating for the welfare
of the men suffering war disabilities.
The public is Invited to assist this
work hy joining the Rsd Cross during
the Annual Roll Coll, November 11
to 35.
ALWAYS AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS
Since 1965 the American Red Cross
has given relief to 854 disasters in
the United States alone, a year sel
dom passes without a major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross in each case has
remained on the job until relief was
completed.
last year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out
standing relief operation by the Red
Cross. The Florida hurricane in Sep
tember created a problem which ex
ceeded in proportions any dieaster
since the San Francisco fire.
By joining the American Red Cross
every American can do his part to
make its services continuously effec
tive. The Annual Roll Call from No
vember 11 to 25, this year, is your op
portunity.
More than 48,00# nurses are en
rolled in the American Red Cross.
They are erer ready for emergency
duty. Every American can do his
share for humanity by joining the
American Red Cross during the Tenth
AaaueJ Roll Call, November 11 to 21.
