Red Cross In Report Recounts Its
Seven Years OF Enormous Activity
In War Years Period Or 1o3o-46

How war transformed the American
Red Cross into a mighty emissary
to carry comfort and cheer to Ameri-
can servicemen the world over is
told in a seven-year report, cover
ing the wal years, by Chairman
Basil O'Connor.
While this report overs the most
significant period in the organiza-
TONS history, O'Connor pointed out
that Red Cross responsibility in mil
itary and veterans services is still
large-scale and must so continue for
several years. Likewise, he said,
the tempo of chapter community
services in health, safety and dis
aster relief is increasing.
Over 36,654,000 persons contribut-
ed to the American Red Cross in its
peak war year, 1915, bolstering its
resources so that eve before were
its services extended so far to sc
the report disclosed.
The report, which covers the 1889
46 period, shows that when the
clouds of war began to mass, services
to the military were stepped up and
continued to expand. Service ex-
penditures exclusively for the arm
ed forces and subsequently for vet
Grams totaled $365,816,818 for the
seven-year period.
Total American Red Cross x
penditures for 1939-46 June 30)
reached S73O,749,169
An average of 4,246,00O unpaid
volunteer workers in $3.50 chapters
served the organization each of the
seven years. In this total, an aver
age of 2,138,000 members of the
trained volunteer corps alone gave
a billion hours of service. In
the 105-page report, illustrated with
and charts, other outstand-
ing facts include:
In the blood donor program for
he army and navy, 6,663,121 Amer
cans contributed 13,326,000 pints of
blood.
More than $4,000 900 was loaned
~ the American Red Cross at camps
md hospitals to servicemena and
women in the four years from 1912
the present.
More than $4,000 community or
carnations were participating in the
Red Cross camp and hospital service
program during the war years, with
ivic groups far in the lead.

Highest Price Ever Offered In This
District Indicates $3.50 For Beets

: which return is obtainable, Kemp
said, if sugar prices are increased
less than 5 per cent above currently
prevailing levels. In view of world
sugar conditions, grower returns
above the minimum nay be in the
picture, if the view of many sugar
economists materializes, the execu-
tive said.
Grower-processor contracts, to be
based on a contract between the
company and Commodity Credit
corporation in accordance with the
announcement of the department of
agriculture last October.
L. ]. Van Houten, president of
the Montana association, said,
latter reviewing the contract offer
ed by the Great Western Sugar
company for 1947, l feel that this
is by far the best contract ever
offered to beet growers in the Bill
lings factory district. 1 think the
growers in this territory should
plan Fundamentally for maximum
beet production in 1947."
Mr.. Kemp agreed that the con-
is "by long odds the best ever
offered by the company and better
than was required of the company
by the government. With prices
for some agricultural commodities
on the decline, it is significant to
note that sugar beets. are the only
crop for which the guaranteed price
is higher for 1947 than in 1886. In
view of the increased beet crop
prospect, the company will extend
mechanical facilities for receiving
the crop and give consideration to
changes in and frightening of hours
for receiving beets in order to keep
pace with the expansion of mechani-
cal harvesting"

Bathing Robin Leaves
For South; Coast Also
Experiences Fog, Snow

The day before the cold spell
struck here late last week, a Laurel
woman reported the unusual sight
of a robin taking a bath in a water
filled depression on the sidewalk IN
front of her house and his then
flying to the limb of a nearby tree
to carefully dry and preen his
feathers. Although Laurel often en-
joys comparatively mild winters, the
sight of a robin in mid-winter is
classed as rare.
What happened later to the out
o~f-season bird is not recorded. He
may have taken passage south, for
the mild weather was replaced at
the week end with lower tempera-
ture and some snow. The Their
mometer was reported Wednesday
as having descended to A below

Travellers to the northwest coast
reported cold and snow at Spokane,
and rain, fog and lower than usual
temperatures at Seattle. The same
conditions prevailed in coastal areas
of Puget Sound, Juan de Fuca
Straight and connecting waters, and
on Vancouver island. Grass was
green and some towers bloomed, but
residents of those areas complained
of the cold and snow.

CRAFT SERVES AS
ROTAR|AN REVIEWER

Acting as commentator for the
January program committee, Fred
w. Graft reviewed the current Ro-
tartan magazine at a meeting Tues
day noon of the Laurel Rotary club.
In his role he met three program
requirements of the 18th district:
review of the magazine at intervals,
discussion Of international topics and
occasional appearance of local speak
erS.
The several articles involved world
peace, rehabilitation of devastated
nations, relocation of dislocated per-
sons, education of youth, cultivation
of better understanding between ma
tions of the earth and the cementing
as far as possible of worldwide
aims for harmonious relations. AS
commentator he included his own
views and criticisms.
AS have others he pointed to the
possibility of recurrence of a Dark
Ages period following development
of a high degree of civilization, in
which the barbarians take over and
reverse the progressive order. The
last rebirth from such a period is
recorded in modern history as the
Renaissance.
The speaker, introduced by Clyde
Cromwell, urged a careful, critical
of the several articles by
the membership. The magazines
editors have no lack of material;
their task is to select and condense
the most valuable contributions.

|NQU|R|NG OF
K|NSMAN ON BURIAL
Of OVERSEAS DEAD
Four Choices Are Given Rela-
tives For Final DISPOSE
ton OF Remains

Letters of inquiry to the next of
kin of personnel who are buried
overseas, to determine desired final
disposition of the remains, are be-
ing mailed to residents concerned
in Montana from the Utah general

The depot has been designated as
one of Is distribution centers in the
United States for repatriation of
World war ii dead. 1t will serve
the states of Utah, Idaho, Wyoming,
Montana, Colorado, Nevada and
eastern Oregon.
Since 1866 the quartermaster corps
has been responsible for the burial
of American war dead. Following
action last May by congress and
flee of the quartermaster general
has once again embarked on this
important mission.
Mr.. Truman inaugurated the pro-
gram, to be executed by the Ameri-
can graves registration service, in
a recent message to the quarter
master general of the army, Maj.
Gen. T. B. Larkin.
In his message Mr.. Truman said:
ain deep and everlasting apprecia-
ton of the heroic efforts of those
who, in keeping their country free,
made the supreme sacrifice in World
war II, the entire nation has been
dedicated to disposing of the mortal
remains of those honored dead in a
manner CONSTANT with the wishes
of their next of kim"
The presidents message will be
included as part of a brochure the
office of the quartermaster general
will send to next of kin at the time
official request is made for the
relatives wishes regarding final
burial.
1t is the intention of the quarter
corps to carry out all feas-
ible wishes of the next of kin, and
it has formulated four options from
which relatives concerned may Sc
.ect:
(1) The next of kin may have the
remains buried in a permanent u.

have the remains returned to the
United States for burial in a private
cemetery; (3) to have the remains
'eturned to this country for burial
n a national cemetery, or (4) to
lave the remains inferred in a pri-
'ate cemetery in a foreign country,

he next of kin.
Until the remains are returned to
