AID RED CROSS
Veterans Unite in Praising
Work Done in This City,
State and Nation

The following is a message from
Colonel Charles R. Forbes. director
of the United States Veterans Bu-
reau, to the Red Cross.
I'VE, ex-service men, think tho
American Red Cross as an all-he p
full mother and the Veterans Bureau
sees in that mother III always CO.
operating friend. Whether it be n
matter of calling the bureaus at
tention to an unawarded claim, or all
Ill man needing disqualification, or
of tiding the sick veteran yer the
me which must elapse before the
overnment aid can be offered. the
Red Cross is always on the job with
~sthenecesf, GA glandC .pzIetokoldiersl
expert service and the necessary
goods.
I'm the bureaus cleanup cam
spaign when efforts were made to IL
cate every ex-service man, no mat
ter how remote his habitation, or
HON limited his powers of compre-
shension, the Red Cross workers
brought to light hundreds of claims
which might otherwise have hidden
until too late for the individual 20
make legal application. Taking good
advantage of what someone has apt
sly termed her strategic position"
the Red Cross worker has penetrated
the alleys of the CITY and the wilder
mess Of the mountain in search for
the man who did not know h a the
government stood ready to help him..
'sThe Veterans Bureau problem IS
a big one and we need the Red Cross.
Together and with the help of all the
other agencies ad individuals eager
to serve, we will surely give most
practical expression of Americas
appreciation of the deft which the
nation owes the man or woman who
~gave health and strength in his
~@country's cause"

stions adopted by the American Le-
1gion was sent to the local chapter:
