 Two Letters OR
 General Conditions

Two letters from Holland in the hands of the local Red Cross Chaps ter show conclusively the need for huge sums of money to be used in rehabilitating Red Cross chapters in the war-torn countries.
 The first letter was written to Charles Rietdyke, B7 GosS Street, by a member of the Dutch Red Cross. The writer, Miep Hoogerwerf, stated that 1t was impossible to give the assistance necessary because of the absence of funds. She states they did what they could to help clean the country.
 Often there came whole families that did not wash their bodies for some years and their skin was sick and wounded everywhere. But when they left us. they all were fast well again. she wrote. One of the great ct problems in Holland is scabieS, which has infected vast numbers of people. She stated that conditions are a little better now than last year. There was no food last year.
 The second letter, sent to Mrs. Albert Gauya, Middlebuly, by Gar. ard Burgerhof includes a report of the Netherlands Red Cross relief team. The report states that the food supply directly after the hbera- ton was splendid thanks to Ameri- can and English relief. Red Cross motor cars and trucks often drove directly behind the liberatorS Civili- ans as well as hospitals got all sorts of food stuffs, according to the report.
 The report concludes with there is still much work for distributions. orphans, old men and women Cand) the combating of contagious disease especially scabies."
 Over $88yOOo has already been contributed towards the Si35, 900 quota for Waterbury during the l946 Red Cross Fund Campaign. A part of this money is used in national and international Red Cross work.
