more than 20,000,000 surgical dressings for the U. S. Army alone last year, in addition to an even larger number for populations entangled in war- Red Cross Motor Corps and other volunteer units sped up their tempo in tune with the defense effort. First aid and water safety courses are being provided for Uncle Sam’s soldiers and sailors. Red Cross instructors train service men to teach life-saving methods to their comrades. Red Cross will enroll and train 100,000 volunteer nurse’s aides to relieve the acute shortage of nursing service threatening civilian life because of the Army and Navy demand for nurses. Plus its important new duties, the Red Cross was on the scene of 149 major domestic disasters the past year. Relief supplies valued at $47,087,052 were given to war-harassed Europe and Asia. Heir to responsibility—that’s the role of the American Red Cross. More than ever, it needs every American’s support through membership in its annual Roll Call, November 11-30.
