RED CROSS NURSE IS
PERFORMING VALUABLE
SERVICE FOR BELTRAM]
Appeal From Destitute Flood
Stricken Mother in Grygla
=, for Her Children

What is the Red Cross chapter of
Bemidji doing?
For the past two months, Miss Mae
MacGregor, Red Cross county nurse,
has been tramping the forest dis
tricts, towns and villages in the
work of relieving distress, under the
auspices of the local chapter, the un-
fortunate, stricken humanity, hav-
ing no other means of relief from any
other source.
Last month, Nurse Mac Gregor in
spected about 400 school pupils and
found one school with several pupils
afflicted with skin ailment. This
month she has inspected about 700
pupils.
When the destructive floods broke
loose in the northwestern portion OF
Beltrami county, Grygla vicinity was
devastated by the floods created by
the high level of Red Lake, when a
large number of settlers suffered loss
of their homes, stock, and their farm
effects, many being reduced to actual
want.
An appeal came to the Red Cross
today from a stricken family there,
from a mother who has a small
daughter with a broken ankle, and
son in a hospital. They lost their
all in the floods, and she is asking
for some bedding and clothing for
the children.
It may be that chapter women will
do some sewing for such stricken
people in the flood district, as was
narrated in The Pioneer a few
months ago.
Would it be worth dollar to you
as a Red Cross member, to help such
cases in Beltrami county? And know
that awilling and hard working bat
tie field hospital nurse was ON the
Job every minute? We believe you
will see it in the right direction for
this is g. sample; Of the home service
work Of the Red Cross.
