RED CROSS REPORTS
 ON WORK OF YEAR
Thirty Thousand Sufferers From Disasters Received
 Aid in United States
By Associated Press

] Washington, october 16-Thirty thou sand sufferers from seventy-three disas- ters which occurred in the United States during the last year received aid from the Red Cross, the cost of the work amount ing to s9oo,oo0 In reaching 164 commu- mites affected by the disasters the Red Cross called into service virtually every phase of it's activities
 Preparedness, for disaster alleviated distress and prevented untold suffering, said statement issued today from the national headquarters and based on the forthcoming report of the organization for the year ending last June 30. The disasters included nineteen torna- does and cyclones, two hurricanes, two cloudbursts, one hailstorm, one land- slide, two earthquakes, fifteen fires, one explosion, nine floods ten shipwrecks, one train wreck, four riots, one motor accident and two droughts. The toll of these disasters were $50 people killed, 1,5O0 injured, 1S,000 made homeless ana property worth 1885, 000,0OO destroyed.
 One hundred and forty chapters of the Red Cross were called upon to assist the national organization in accomplishing the relief work, in which thirty temper ary hospitals were set up, more than score of motor corps were organized ana seven relief trains were sent into the devastated regions.
 "The record of last year, said the statement, emphasizes the need of apun- dant preparedness along the line or diS- aster relief and has resulted in the or ganization of disaster preparedness com mittees by about 400 chapters and the setting aside of a special emergency fund by the national organization of $S,0oocoo in addition to the regular annual appro- priation for this purpose made in US hudget'
 A new activity undertaken during the year by the Red Cross was the organiza- ton of it's foreign language information service a work that was started by the government during the war. The purpose of this section was twofold, being to in- form the 100000 non- English speaking residents of this country concerning the laws of the United States, the obligations they are under as residents the prlVli- eges given them, and to help them to ob- tain just treatment where they are is- norant of conditions.
 The statement also showed that more than 60Oo.0o0 school children, who are en- rolled in the Junior Red Cross, contrio- uted S535, ,623 and made possible chain or school canteens across Belgium, estao- lished recreation grounds and open all schools in France, aided the children or the Balkans with clothing and food, and thousands of toys and scrapbooks were sent abroad to brighten the lives Of other children of Europe who had almost TOT gotten how to play.

London, October l0.-(Reciprocal News service 1.-The Irish office. headquarters or the Secretary of State for Ireland. was the scene of a few very exciting moments when some bricks in it's ancient building in Queen Anne's Gate crunbled and fell to the street below with a roar.
 Passersby fled wildly in all directions. The two police constantly on duty were quickly augmented by others at posts outside other nearby government offices Clerks in the Irish office nervously ap- peared at the windows.
 When it was evident that the bricks had fallen from the blind wall facing Cockpit Stops, men were at once sent to the roof with long sticks to poke into the wound in the side of the building and discover whether the mishap was inno- cent of insidious origin.
 It's all right now and scaffoldinS has already gone up for emergency bricklayers.

Bermont Winter Sports.
burlington Free Press. J


Winter sports are "coming back" in
Vermont. Not only the universities
and colleges but also various civic and
mountain organizations are yielding to
the carnival spirit and promoting win
ter sports. There is every reason why
the Green Mountain region should have
all sorts of winter pastimes in the
open. Time was when the railroads
ran excursions to Burlington in connec-
ton with our ice carnivals. At this
time the various branches of the Green
Mountain club are taking large share
of the work of attracting attention to
Vermont. In this connection the Ben
ningtOn Banner says:
The Bennington branch of the
Green Mountain club responded with
commendable enthusiasm to the call
issued from headquarters for demonstra
ton of interest in winter hiking on
Washington's birthday anniversary.
The turnout of Bennington mixers was
not SO large as at Burlington and Rut-
land, both much larger communities.
but 1T was characterized bv real out
door spirit which was the main thing.
Bennington Green Mountain club mem
bers are fortunate in that such excel
lent hiking territory is so accessible at
all seasons of the year. Present condi-
lions are arduous enough to test the
metal of the most venturesome as the
quintet that climbed Bald mountain on
the 22d are ready to testify
