Everyday Items Furnished by Red Cross Taken For Granted by Civilians at Home Are Precious To Servicemen at Front

If all the comfort articles furnished by the American Red Cross to service men in advanced areas overseas in this war could be heaped together in a large field, the stacks of cigarettes, gum, chocolate, ditty bags, books, toothbrushes, soap, towels, and innumerable other items would stretch as far as the eye could see. These everyday items which the civilian at home takes for granted become precious to the fighting man at the front when action is concentrated and ammunition and medical supplies take precedence over all else. Troops hitting the Philippine Island beachhead at Leyte under heavy fire were amazed to find Red Cross field men making coffee—7s gallons at a clip—to serve hot with sugar and milk and cookies. During that first day-of torrential rain, water or any other kind of refreshment was virtually unobtainable except at that 'beachhead canteen. At Saipan, in the 60 days after D-day, the Red Cross had given out 75 cases of cigarettes, 15,000 bars of tropical chocolate, 50,000 packages of gum, 300,000 sheets of writing paper, and 200,000 envelopes, three tons of books and magazines, 30 radios, 25 record players, and 1000 records, 15,000 toothbrushes, and 5000 razors. When the battle for Tinian began shortly afterward, and Red Cross men again followed troops onto the island, their supply of cigarettes and tobacco proved to

Arthur Jordan Increases Enrollments The Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music will end the current year and begin 1945 with a total enrollment of 2,176 students in all departments, G. V. Carrier, conservatory business manager, said yesterday. The enrollment Is 25 per cent more than in the school year of 1943-44. It includes the students in the four-year collegiatedepartment, those studying for the master degrees, private lessons and those in the preparatory departments and special students. The school’s units are the campus at 1204 N. Delaware street, the Metropolitan unit at 106 E. North street, the Irvington unit at 5436 E. Washington street and the 'North unit at 3411 N. Delaware street. Students and faculty members now away for the Christmas and New Year holidays will resume studies Tuesday morning. The conservatory has at least four major organizations which are available to all students. They are the Jordan Conservatory Symphony Orchestra under direction of Victor Kolar with Beldon Leonard, assistant; the JordanButler Philharmonic Choir under direction of Joseph Lautner; the Conservatory concert band under direction of Nilo Hovey which was organized last fall, and the Jordan Youth Symphony Orchestra under direction of Mr. Leonard.

be the only one there. A jeep was commandeered by the military to speed those much-needed smokes from the beach to the front. Away from the fronts, in New Caledonia, is another type of Red Cross supply line. There, in. an improvised • commissary warehouse, are piled enough varied snack foods and condiments to rival any American delicatessen. From its stacks of imposing barrels and cans, the makings of full course meals go* to rest clubs for service men; snacks for picnics go to hospital patients; fruit juices, sandwiches, cakes and coffee are produced for thousands of Yanks at service dubs. One service dub alone uses 3,000 cases of fruit juice a week. The monthly turnover of main commodities at the warehouse soars; six tons of flour, two tons of sugar, and 10d0 pounds of fresh butter leave its doors weekly.

With the 7th Army in southern and central France, where our fast-moving forces set a new record in their drive from the Mediterranean, blood plasma, disaster kits, and Red Cross surgical dressings took emergency priority over the 400 miles by land or air. Red Cross workers at an evacuation hospital in southern France, discovering that supplies were limited in the first days because prearranged shipping schedules had not anticipated a campaign so fast-moving, were able to obtain a surplus supply from a hospital ship nearby.

school year, the conservatory symphony under direction of Mr. Kolar has major concerts in January, March and April and the band will make its debut soon under Mr. Hovey’s direction. The youth orchestra made its debut during the teachers’ convention some weeks ago while the Philharmonic choir has a heavy recital schedule during the new year, Mr. Lautner announces.

Blood Donor Can Inscribe Label • • 1 In Honor Of Friend or Relative In Service In response to requests from blood donors throughout the country, a new Red Cross blood plasma label has been designed which enables a donor to sign his name on the label that goes on the package to the troops overseas and to dedicate his blood in honor of a friend or loved one in the armed forces. This announcement was made here today by W. L Longsworth, chairman of the Indianapolis Red Cross. The new plan became effective Dec. 7, Mr. Longsworth said, and for each pint of blood donated thereafter the donor will 'be allowed to inscribe a label in his own handwriting with his name and the name of the service man or woman in whose honor the donation was made. The labels will be pasted on the outside of standard Army-Navy packages of plasma and shipped overseas. Mr. Longsworth said that the plan had been adopted as the result of numerous requests by friends and relatives of service men that some method be devised whereby their blood could be dedicated in honor of a member of the armed forces.

“Today,” Mr. Longsworth continued, “the need is greater than ever before. As our armed farces advance more donors are needed. Mr. Longsworth pointed out that in the processing laboratories plasma from many donors is mixed and that the plasma in the ■package on which the donor’s inscribed label is pasted may not necessarily contain any of the plasma procured from that particular donor’s own blood. Mr. Longsworth pointed out also that inscribing a label in someone’s honor does not mean that the donor’s blood goes directly to that person as plasma is not shipped to individuals but to the Army and Navy medical officers who administer it to any wounded man who may need it, often right up in the front lines. The labels are now on hand at the Red Cross Blood Donor Center, Mr. Longsworth said, and those wishing to make a donation should telephone Li. 1441 for an appointment.
