HOW THE AMERICAN RED CROS HELPS ALL RACES DURING DISASTERS —Probably the first friends victims of disasters anywhere in America meet are work ers from the American Red Cross. Relieving these persons and helping them to re establish themselves in a normal life are only part of the innumerable activities of the Red Cross. During 1951, several floods uprooted the lives of thousands of Amer icans. In its rescue activity, the Red Cross helped these persons, regardless of race. The staffs administering this aid also was integrated. The above series of pictures illustrated typical scenes during 1951 in the aid of numerous flood victims throughout the country. Currently the Red Cross is in the midst of its 1952 drive for its annual budget. Many of these funds will help make such scenes as above come true again this year when others suffer from the ravages of disaster. The scenes above are as follows: UPPER LEFT—Farms, homes, stores, factories all suffered untold damage and destruction, bringing misery and hardship to owners long after the water had sub sided to its normal level in floods during 1951. Under its congressional charter, the Red Cross has as one of its chief responsibilities the job of helping victims rebuild their damaged homes and ruined businesses. UPPER CENTER—Peter S. Ridley, public relations consultant of the Red Cross and a psychology instructor at Howard university. Ridley as a consultant several times during a year visits the scenes of various disasters and observes the work of the Red Cross there among victims of all groups. UPPER RIGHT—One of the most important details in aiding flood victims Is that of keeping records—an unglamorous job, but a necessary one. In the above scene Red Cross workers are typing statistical reports and records in connection with floods in the Midwest. In the foreground, Helen Donohoo, assistant to the personnel director. LOWER LEFT—Busily checking cases in the general disbursing section are Mrs. Mary Rotenberg, case worker, and Mrs. Augusa Rode, accountant. At extreme right is Miss Esther L. Owens, clerk-typist. All three help provide rehabilitation assistance to Midwest flood victims. LOWER CENTER—This is a typical scene of the affection and sympathy shown by Red Cross workers to hundreds of victims. The Red Cross services during dis asters range from the above scene to comforting a child to that of feeding and shelter - I ing hundreds and assisting individuals and families reestablish themselves. LOWER RIGHT—In this office was processed every allotment for the repair or rebuilding of homes damaged or destroyed by Midwest floods in Kansas City, Kan. Trenton B. Fleming (left), accountant, discusses a rebuilding job with Leo White man (center), and W. P. Dodge, building estimator. At right is Mrs. Kathleen Stubbs, secretary, who handled telephone requests.—(ANP) \QhuhdksUk I \_* Quinn Chapel A. M. U. Church Ifa and C Streets. jtY. J. B. Brooks, Pastor. 9:45 a. m.

Present Day Application By Frederick D. Jordan Los Angeles, Calif. We get a chance to look intoj Paul’s heart this morning and to see the inner workings of that spirit that drove him on to success. The dramatic experiences, radiant j joy -that was his, the vital faith i and his zeal for converts, are all, disclosed. Just a few words are needed to describe the driving force that enabled him to gain the. place he made in Christendom His concentration “But this one thing I do,” his faith and hope; ’’forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before;”, his work, “I press toward the mark,” and his submission and, loyalty to Jesus, “the prize of the, high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Concentration, faith, and hope, work, and unreserved com-j mittment will give Christ’s fol-^ lowers today strength made per-, feet in weakness, personal endur-, Cburrt o* God in Christ 9:00 a.m..

So many things have changed since I last visited with you. Mother Lytle was called to her eternal rest of February 6th quite suddenly. We do miss her so very much, however, she is still a living spirit as we see her lovely hand work everywhere. Friends and relatives help to lighten the burden of sorrow when it does come and words are so inadequate to express our deep appreciation. We now have a new address, 4152 Carondelet Blvd. Yes, we got moved into the new house, but putting nine rooms of things into six is quite a heroic feat. | In fact, we are overflowing into the garage. The transportation by bus from the new place is also! a bit different. We walk one; mile to the busline and then j it is a long ride to get any where. Yesterday morning as we walked through the park, the lawn was literally covered with robins but this morning nary a one was to be seen. While we were in the process of getting moved, and were in our work clothing, finding a place to eat presented a problem and we found ourselves living on ham burgers and milk shakes at the ance and above all a joy and peace that the world cannot take away. dnve-m. I never knew potatoes, beans and meat could taste so wonderful. We are trying to re-lease the house at 5123 Maple and again run into the color line. I am again impressed with how much more important a bad apple is in a little container than in a larger one, in other words what one wrong Negro or member of any minority VINE ST. MARKET !
