' 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.
