MINOR DISASTERS GIVE
RED CROSS BUSY YEAR


Although the last year has been
marked by no disaster of magnitude,
the American Red Cross was called
upon to administer relief in ninety
small domestic disasters scattered
among thirty-eight States and involv-
ing TAT counties. Several of the
States were visited with different
types of disasters. Classification oil
types shows that thirty were due to
tornadoes and wind storms, seven
teen to floods and forty-three to fires
and other causes.
Relief to sufferers cost 1898, It's,
!, of which spas was allotted from
the National Red Cross treasury, the
remainder. being raised by public
contributions. This does not include
the allotments to insular disasters or
gifts to foreign countries in distress,
made by the national Red Cross
headquarters.
Only ten calamities were severe
enough to require relief directors
from the national Red Cross staff.
Operations were financed wholly
or in part by national Red Cross
funds. In thirty-four instances, the
relief was directed by local Red Cross
chapters with advisory and financial
aid from the national organization.
The rest were directed and financed
entirely by the chapters, acting
under the advice of the national
staff.
The most severe disaster of the
year was the overflow last winter of
the White and Wabash rivers, lower
Indiana and Illinois, where suffer-
ing was intensified byzero weather.
In this relief work, army airplanes
were used to carry food and fuel to
marooned refugees. At this time
there also occurred floods in south
eastern Arkansas, which required
aid.
The Red Cross went into action
last December when mine explosion
killed sixty-one men at McAlester,
Oklahoma. leaving large number
of dependent families.
In May, a fire swept through
Nashua, New Hampshire, leaving
1900 persons homeless. Relief was
conducted under a unit sent from
the national headquarters in Wash
ington. This work involved the re-
building and refurnishing of homes
and aid to families in want.
Last Spring series of 16 lorna.
does spread ruin in..Kansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Texas, with a toll of deaths and the
destruction of 227 homes, besides
the injury of many persons. The
relief program included medical and
nursing service, the building and re-
pair of homes, and the supplying OF
household goods.
Florida was the scene of relief
work a year ago this fall, affecting
the Florida straites. Relief was given
here to 1901 families.
The disaster relief service reports,
during the year, an increasing
number of Red Cross chapters with
disaster preparedness committees
These committees keep lists of help
ers, subject to call when disaster
strikes, and gather data regarding
sources of supplies, hospital accom-
modations, and so on. They also ar.
range cooperation with departments
of the local and State governments
so that they are ready to respond
promptly when an emergency cal
comes from their own neighborine
community.

service was held at 2.30
O'Clock in the afternoon. At
this, Rev. F. Harl Huffman, of
Babcock Memorial Presby-
terrain Church, Baltimore, Md,
preached, assisted in the ser
vices by Rev. Mr.. Davies, of
Little Britain Presbyterian
Church, and Rev. Thos. P.
Mckee, of West Nottingham
Presbyterian Church. At the
evening service the sermon
was preached by the. District
Superintendent, Rev. j. w.
Colona, and the dedication
ritual was carried through by
Bishop Berry. This was fol-
lowed by special services which
lasted throughout the week.
The new church, with it's
furnishings, meant an outlay
of approximately $45,000.0O,
| all of which was covered by
subscriptions. Although Bis
hop Berry was the leading
spirit along this line on the
day of dedication, if it had not
been for the helpful service of
Brother Rooms, assisted by the
Official Board and the members
and friends of the church, this
victory would not have been
realized.
The following year, 1924, the
church purchased a pipe organ
which was installed in March
1925.
There were 83 persons added
to the church during Brother
Harris pastorate, a number
coming in during the tent
meetings held in the town by
Rev. Geo. w. Cooke.
Brother Harris set a high
standard of Christian living
both by precept and example.
He left the church free of debt
and the membership united and
moving forward with spirit
ual vision.
In the spring of 1925, Rev.
]. G. Mccoy was appointed
pastor of the church to succeed
Brother Harris.
In October of that year, the
pipe organ was dedicated by
Bishop Mcdowell. Revs. J. w.
Colona, J. w. Jones and J.
Thomas Price also took part in
the service. 1t was quite a
notable event.
Successful revival services
have been held during the pas
torate of Brother Mccoy, in
which he has been assisted by
several outstanding evangelists
and preachers of the Gospel.
The result has been a number
of accessions to the chul CHI, as
well as the quickening of the
religious life of the member
ship.
For several summers Daily
Vacation Bible Schools have
been doing splendid service
under the leadership of the
pastor and his helpers, with
large attendance and increas-
ing interest shown.
Shapespeare says: "The evil
that men do lives after them,
the good is oft inferred with
their bones" Not so in the
case of Brother Mccoy, for all
who know him feel that he is
their friend, will to do what
ever he can to help them, and
the reason is not hard to find.
First of all, he is by nature
friendly, and then best of all,
he enjoys the friendship of
Jesus Christ, without which no
friendship is complete.
IL mas been real inspiration
to me as l have read of the
trials and triumphs of these
good ministers of Jesus Christ,
for in doing so / have not only
partaken of the spirit that
prompted them, but have lived
over again my own religious
experience as we'll. If the
reading of this history does
the same for you I shall feel
amply repaid. God grant that

TREASURY LOAN
SEEN NEEDED

Further additional borrowing
by the Treasury will be necessary
to prevent a deficit June 80, it
was learned today.
To meet the expenditures OF
more than $100,000,000 by the
Federal farm board, Secretary
Mellon already has been forced
to authorize a new loan of $780,
100000, which will be dated May
19. This will increase the public
debt about $44,000,000, since the
maturing issues of bills on that
date is but $56,000,000.
June Is the income and cor
poration tax receipts will not
equal the maturing block of 47s
per cent certificates, which totals
$549, TOT, 500. The tax collection
was expected to total somewhat
more than $50O,000,000 in June,
bringing the years total TO
$2,400,000,00O, approximately the
Treasury's estimate.
The amount of money neces-
sary to borrow in June depends
chiefly upon the requirements Of
the farm board before the end
of the year. So far no. exact in
dication of that amount has been
furnished by the Treasury.
Since the farm board was es-
tablished the Treasury has been
maintaining a larger cash bal
ance than had been the case.
More than $1OO,OOO,0 900 is main
tanned, and this will be tempo
rarily boosted about $4,000, 900
this week by the excess of the bill
issue over that to be retired.
Heavy expenditures also will
mean a much smaller reduction
in the public. debt than during
any year since 1919. It was
thought the reduction would be
at least 100000, and that
the gross debt at the end of the
year would be close to $16,ooo,-
100000.
