RED CROSS AID TO
MORE Than 100000
DISASTER VICTIMS
LARGE Urban Areas Devastated
As Elements Hit 20 States
East of Mississippi

1.-THE number of disaster victims as
sisted by the Red Cross during the ifs.
cal year ended June 80, was more than
four times the number aided in the pre-
vious twelve month period" Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, chairman, said in
commenting on highlights OF the an
nual report just issued. "Over $4,000
families were given food, clothing,
shelter and medical care, and thou
sands of homes were rebuilt or re-
paired by the Red Cross to enable them
to carry on"
Pointing to the many-sided problems
created by the wide variety Of types
of disasters which occurred during
the year, Admiral Grayson said, "The
Red Cross sent hundreds Of trained
workers into 80 states to meet the
many exigenciss Of catastrophes
which included earthquake, epidemic,
explosion, fire, hurricane, ice lock,
landslide, refugee relief, shipwreck,
tornado and typhoon. The Red Cross
took charge at the scenes Of los domes-
tic disasters of major severity"
The report emphasized the marked
value of Government-Red Cross CO.
operation when disaster strikes, giving
as example the flight Of Army bombing
planes which dropped Red Cross food
to marooned refugees at Remove,
Pennsylvania, during the Spring foods.
More than 10000 persons were res
cued from the second floors of homes
in Wilkes-Barre and Kingston through
Coast Guard-Red Cross cooperation at
the height of these same floods.
Government agencies and relief
groups were Of invaluable assistance
to Red Cross relief forces at all times"
Admiral Grayson stated. ,
The complete resources of Red
Cross leadership, training and disaster
experience were brought into play by
the Spring floods and tornadoes which
took so heavy toll of life and prop
erty in eastern and southern states
this year, the annual report reveals.

Chairman Grayson said.

Some Points To Be Considered In Sc
lection of Bedspreads

Some Points To Be Considered In Sc
lection of Bedspreads
When housewives want bedspreads
to match window draperies of chintz
or other materials, many prefer to
make their own, but if time is at a
premium, it is desirable to buy ready
mades. AS with other purchases made
at long intervals, the homemaker may
be uncertain of the points to check
when she buys. Generous sizes, sub
stantial edge finishes and well-made
seams are quality features Of i'm
portance. Spreads for any beds should
be from 80 to 108 inches in length.
The 90-inch length does not allow for
covering the pillows. For double bed,
a spread should be from 80 to 80 inches
wide to hang over the sides and cover
the frame and spring. For a single
bed is should be 72 inches wide.
If the edge is scalloped the stitch
ing should be sufficiently deep and the
stitches close together, covering the
raw edges well so they will not fray.
Hens should be completely caught
with short stitches close to the edge.
Fourteen stitches to the inch is a good
average in a well-made spread. Back
stitching at the ends of the sewing in
sures against travelling.
Deep seams will hold without pull
ing out. Choose spreads with fewest
Jennings. Chintz spreads are made
with two narrow panels on the top,
the seams bound on the right side with
bias tape harmonizing with a predom-
mating color in the fabric. This is be-
cause 30 or 36-inch material is not
wide enough for a 39-inch bed, the
standard twin size. When buying a
spread of this kind examine all the
seams closely to see that the stitching
is deep enough and the binding is
caught on both edges.
According to Miss Florence Mason,
Extension Home Furnishing special
list, most ready made bedspreads fall
in few classes. These are seersucker,
Marseilles, the old-fashioned counter
panes" now made in much lighter
weights, candlewick tufted, and Colon
iol coverlets which reproduce old de-
signs woven in Colonial days on hand
looms.

LIBERTY UNDER FIRE

TT is high American ideal that change shall come
by orderly processes and not by violent uprisings
and revolution.
That ideal implies and rests for it's ultimate eff
cheney upon the willingness of all elements to permit
orderly advocacy of change. Obstruction of that
freedom mpounds discomfort and tends either to
produce combustion or centralized suppression of
a grandose and ruthless sort such as Fascism
1t is an unhappy commentary now that the lid
of suppression is being put seemingly tighter and
tighter by elements most vocal against revolution
and violence. The American Civil Liberties Union,
agency gauges the pulse of popular freedom, de-
clared in resolutions at its annual meeting:
American liberties subjected today in the
midst OF unprecedented economic crisis to extraordi-
nary attacks by violence, law, court decision and
ceaseless propaganda by organized reaction The
forces which desire to prevent peaceful change of
the existing order attack the rights of organized
labor the unemployed and radical political parties
They seek to dscredit them all by cries of Com
munlsm agents of Moscow "un-American' All
progressive liberal and labor movements even the
New Deal reforms, subjected to the same attack
Education is being subjected to perous gag laws"
AS specific instances, reports were made on al
legged violation of civil rights in the following cases:
Scottsboro, Angelo Herndon Tampa fogging. Tom
Mooney, Gallup On M miners sharecroppers of
Arkansas and Alabama, and the Sacramento GRIM
inal syndicaism case
Inc most precious property of the American
people is the Bill of Rights. None not even the
most selfish reactie nary afford to permit those
rights to be violated or abridged. Every encroach-
ment breeds more encroachment
