Red Cross
Sets June
Case Record

The Red Cross handled nearly
1900 cases during June to set a
monthly record, Louis w. Link,
Red Cross Field Director, revealed
this week. The cases varied from
marriage problems to small loan
needs.
In June the Red Cross investi-
gated more than 400 emergency
furloughs, adjusted nearly 250
family problems and made 2S8
loans totaling more than $500.
The Red Cross must determine
the validity OF all requests made
for emergency furloughs. To speed
action all queries and answers are
sent by wire. Loans are made to
needy soldiers who repay them in
small monthly installments.
Many Keesler Field soldiers
have obtained medical help for
their ailing families through the
field Red Cross and many others
have secured immediate financial
aid for their families.
An example Of Red Cross sssis-
tance is found in the case OF
a private who told Mr.. Link that
he was needed at home TO reap
his wheat crop which he estimated
would yield at least $500, enough
to carry his family through the
winter. Mr.. Link, after finding
the Priyate's story was true, got
him a furlough and lent him
enough money TO go home.
The Job Of Field Director calls
for action and initiative. Recently
soldier told Mr.. Link that his
wife left Washington, d. c., that
morning to visit him and he was
leaving the field In a few hours.
To save his wife an unnecessary
trip Mr.. Link checked his maps
and railroad time tables and de-
termined that at II I'm. the SOL
dier's wife would arrive IN Char
lotte, N. c. He wired the Charlotte
chapter and told them to tell the
wife to return. At midnight he re-
ceived 8 wire stating that the wife
had returned 10 Washington.
