 Lloyd Blake, a first engineer on a Flying Fortress with the Ameri- can Air forces, fell in a raid over Germany last summer.
 'Only folks in our position can truly appreciate what a relief 1t is to know there is an organiza- ton like the Red Cross with our boys" Harold Blake soid thought fully and with emotion as he worked without Interruption. "At least we know Lloyd won't starve to death, I, too, am with them 200 per cent"
 But that isn't the end of Har- old Blake's story-or of his gradi- tude. When Albert, Q Marine in the South Pacific, was wounded, the Red Cross was there with life-saving blood plasma and dressings. Frederick at sea also has protection, for Red Cross doctors mad nurses are by his side.
 And what have our American boys who arc scattered In the four corners of the earth and in camps throughout the United States to say about this great organiza- tionp Like young Lloyd Blake, imprisoned behind Nazi barriers, waiting through seven long, dreary days for tho Red Cross package to live on," they'll no doubt tell you were with them 200 per cent"
 However. the story of tho Blakes speaks for itself.

 He expressed the belief that If the premises ire not sold now they never will be and added that that sentiment has also been expressed by the receier.
