What Shall
We Do for the
Red Cross?
Membership Enrollment Makes Pos
sible Many Great Services Or
ganization Gives World.
The year 193S Is a hard year for
many people in Cass county, Ne
braska. The worst of It is that we
have had five consecutive lean years.
We may. feel poor and discouraged
but when we compare with the Chi
nese who, thru no fault of theirs,
have- been killed and crippled and
lost their homes, and farms, we have
much for which to be thankful.
In the State Journal of August
28th is an article, by Dr. Francis F.
Tucker who is on assignment by the
International Red Crops for central
China in the Methodist hospital in
Hankow, often called "The Chicago
of China."
He says that in. Hankow there were
;59,000 refugees 11 1m 3 - every .avail
able space, sleeping. in market places
and on the streets.', .Most of these
refugees are wome'n and children who
have left their charred homes, and
have nothing to take with them
and so move to the crowded camps
of rthe city. .
He says "China Is profoundly
grateful for the Red Cross and other
help rendered by her. American
friends. No matter how much this
has been there is a great need for
much, much further partnership in
this direction.
Many of us feel like aiding those
unfortunate people and we have been
doing it through the Red Cross.
On Sept. 21st,thi hurricane on
the Atlantic coast was the worst in
history. You have all read of the
death and destruction that it caused.
Nearly five hundred people were
killed and thousands left homeless.
The chief agency that could come
to the immediate rescue of these
stricken people vas the Red Cross,
and so the" Red jCross immediately
rushed 50 trained and experienced
workers to the scene. The national
chairman, Norman H. Davis, ordered
all the resources of the organization
into relief work. "
It is for such emergencies as this
that we need the, Red Cross. Hence
I appeal to every one who possibly
can do so, to take, a membership in
the Red Cross.
Do your bit and we will continue
an organization which has done
mere than any other to relieve suf
fering humanity.
