Red Cross in Plains for the March Drive Wednesday evening a meeting of the officers and interested members of the Cass county chapter of the American Red; a a a i - r t r ; . t cross met at ine oiiice or omiui & Lebens in the Donat build nig to discuss the forthcoming roll call to be staged in March. There were present Mrs. J. F. Knecht of South Bend, chair man; Mrs. Carl Zaiser, of Avo ca, the secretary of the county group; Miss Frederick, the rep resentative of the area office at St. Louis, as well as a num ber of the local Red Cross workers, Mrs. Thelma Tritsch, Cass County Home Service chairman; Miss Coretta Pfann, qf the Cass county welfare of fice; Walter H. Smith, who has been one of the hard workers for the Red Cross in the past years; Mrs. Edward Berlette, Mrs. F. I. Rea, Miss Helen Eit ing, Orville Nielsen. The Red Cross drive that is held each March over the United States, is soon to be launched. It was one of the objectives of the meeting to try and secure a chairman, par ticularly for the Plattsmouth drive to build up the local mem bership that has in the past years been allowed to fall be low the .general average. The program of the Red Cross is extensive and the fees from the membership is used to help provide the funds with which to carry on their program of aid. This year the call for na tional needs is placed at $67, 000,0000, and this is prorated among the states, and in turn, the county and city units. It is necessary to dispose of many of the memberships to secure not only funds but the active physical support of the com mittees in the various drives. In the war years the drives locally had built up surpluses that for the more recent years have been ample to carry on the work in the county as well as the special distress calls for aid in disaster and trouble. These surpluses, not replaced, are now at a low figure and it will be necessary to have them built up to keep the organiza tion in a place where they can give immediate heed to calls for aid. In local figures the Cass County Chapter has done a great deal of aid for veterans, and others, in the way of grants and loans, many of these have 'oeen repaid., but it is necessary to be able to provide funds in time of stress. Mrs. Tristch, Home Service chairman reports that in 1947 she had made loans and grants of $1,409 to veterans, in 1948 this had moved up to $1,421.40, and in 1949 there had been $1,846.41 tlt 'had oeen advanced by the Red Cross to aid those in distress and who found it necesary to ask for aid. The persons served were 158 active members of the arm ed service, seventy-four veter ans and eight civilians, these including many family groups. In the army aid this was largely cases of distress caused by changes in status or adjust ments of allotments. The local chapters have found it necesary in a number of Cases to provide shelter, rent and food or cloth ing in cases of distress. To give this relief it is necessary to have funds' available and for this purpose the drive is being or ganized. It is hoped to have a chair man in a few days for .Platts mouth and to get the movement under way so that on March first there will be workers ready to take the field to solicit the membership and contributions to the "Greatest Mother of All."
