One of the worat way* ia to accept every vile rumor that you hear aa the g<w|»el truh. Few Americana have the f<»ggieMt idea aa to what the Red Vrona really ia—they haie ideaa. perhapa baaed upon fact, perhapa on one or two iaohted incidents, perhaps on misunderstanding, or someone elae'a ideaa. First, the Red Cross is a pri'»t« organization. It gets no funds from the government. At the same time, it is quasi-governmental. Congress determine* its primary responsibilities. The pres- . id eat is honorary chairman; the defense department audits its books. (This should dispell some fears.) Half a dozen governmental secretaries or under-secretaries are on the governing board, as well as 42 private citi- ( tens. Congress chartered the Red Cross in 1900. This | firmly fixed its military and civilian responsibilities. Today* the Red Cross is the largest privatelyfinanced charity in the world, with a budget of nearly S9O million a year. If a natural disaster, like a hurricane or earthquake strikes, the Red Cross is in action immediately before most people even know what has happened. But if the foreign policy of the U.S. is affected, or • if politics is involved, like the Spanish civil war or the great depression of the 1930’5, the Red Cross waits for Congress to spell out its duties. This, and the fact that the Red Cross asks for funds every year leads to misunderstandings, and the Red Cross takes a battering from a hostile public that does not always understand that as a charity all of its funds and volunteer workers must come from our love of our fellow man. The article mentioned above explains numerous peeves, especially those of ex-servicemen, and it is highly recommended reading for anyone interested in finding out the truth. But if you really want to know about Red Cross, ask any former prisoner of war—it is the Red Cross that kept him in touch with America, and is responsible for the only kindnesses that POW’s ever receive. Its blood bank, water safety instruction, first aid, lifesaving, home nursing, mother and baby care, and other programs, on a country-wide scale, provide the human backboard and reserve that our over-organized society needs.

from the Office of the President WE’RE CELEBRATING OUR 100th ANNIVERSARY... BiM Sixty-five years too soon so we can bring you our 100 Best Buys! In the year 2025 Gamble Stores will be 100 years old. That’s 65 J®*” now ‘ HoW can we celebrate our 100th Anniversary when actually we are only 35 years Well, why not? In the year 2025, we are not likely to be here — f C among our suppliers probably won’t be here — and most important oa , Y . customers may not be here, either! So why not do it now soweaUMj ? Why not bring to you these tremendous values while you are here to take advant g Zany, you say? Well, yes, it probably is. But the more we thought about it, the more plausible the whole idea seemed. Our buyers liked it. They said, “If the company celebrates our 100th Anniversary in i 960, we’ll find 100 of the most outstanding merchandise values this nation has ever seen. And that was the birth of the “Big 100.” Beginning this week, and throughout the year. Gambles will offer 100 special items ranging inprice from 17 ito 5479-97- d • they will far outdo anything we have ever presented m our entire }} year history. . Our buyers did a grand job. Several went overseas to find "Big 100” items. When we approached the Presidents of our regular suppliers — with whom we have done many 1 on oFdX in business over many ySrs -fhey said, "Your idea certainly is refreshing and maybe a little crazy, but let’s go!” • , The result — the “Big 100” — 100 items of merchandise We’ll be extremely proud to show you. Never have we assembled so many outstanding values. Never has there been such an opportunity for our customers to save and-save and save. — How did we do it? AH these things helped to make the "Big 100” outstanding values: We placed orders for many times normal quantities—this helped lower costs for our manufacturers, and assures enough merchandise for every custoir»er. We asked our manufacturers to go to their suppliers to help lower prices. We agreed with our sources to off-season production, and this helped save money. We’re making great savings in distribution by shipping by carload and trainload and thus bringing merchandise more directly to you. For example, we ordered 30 trainloads (20 to 25 cars each) of two-door combination freezer-refrigerators. These quantities enable us to offer unbelievably low P rl< *s and in addition to this, we will buy your present refrigerator. This means that you too can own one of these beautiful, convenient Coronado freezer-refrigerators without ma ing a cash down payment. So here is a 100th Anniversary Celebration 65 years too soon! It brings you our good customers—an opportunity to buy your needs at deeply cut prices with savings you w long remember. ? —-i -- E*—l Sincerely, SWraBBWffTO”. .... -.
