PREPAREDNESS
% p the
AMERICAN RED CROSS

TO THOUSANDS of Americans
L seeking news of their families
and friends in war-torn countries,
Is words on an official Red Cross
form have meant all the difference
between hope and despair.
Ever since the outbreak of the
war, the American Red Cross has
been for many people the only me-
dunn through which they could get
news of their relatives in Poland,
Holland, Belgium and the other &C.
cupied nations. Even when the
news has been bad, even when it
has been the worst possible, it has
at least meant merciful release
from torturing anxiety and uncer-
tainty.
For a while it was possible
in a few cases to maintain
contact by letter over long
roundabout routes. Since
Americas entry into the war,
all remaining avenues of COM
munication have been closed.
Today, under the rules of the
United States Office of Censor,
ship, personal messages to
residents of enemy or enemy
occupied territory may be for
warded ONLY through the Red
Cross inquiry service here and
the International Red Cross
committee in Geneva, Switzer-
land.
Regulations governing the send
ing of one of these messages from
the United States are that the COM
munication, which should be filled
in at a local Red Cross chapter,
must not be more than Is words,
and should be in English. If it is
written in a foreign language, an
English translation must be at
tached.
The United States Office of
Censorship rules that no men,
ton may be made of politics
or military subjects, defense
materials, shipping or weather
conditions, business matters
or geographic names. Persons
employed on munitions or 9th
er government work must not
mention that fact when writ
ing abroad, and any kind of
abbreviation, nickname or de-
scription of person or place
is also taboo.
But even the strict regulations
cannot rob the brief message on
the International Red Cross form
of it's human warmth and drama.
The original message, made out in
some local Red Cross chapter
here, goes on it's long and slow
journey across ocean and CONT
nents. Space is provided on it
for reply message, to be re-
turned to the original sender.
