William d. Lee of the Miller
Lee Funeral Home, will act as
chairman for Red Cross fund
raising campaign in Union coun-
ty, March 1-31. The National Red
Cross goal is S75,000,000. The

While the quota has become
increasingly lower since the peak
of the war years, the necessity for
continued support is we'll sub
stantiated by records recently
released by National Headquart-
erS. 1t has q clearly defined and
continuing responsibility under
its Congressional Charter for re-
lief in time of disaster. The ex-
perience of the past year shows
what an enormous outlay of
money and effort can be required
by such disasters as the Texas
City explosion, the Florida and
Gulf Coast hurricane and floods,
the Texas-Oklahoma tornadoes,
and the New England forest fires.
The Red Cross is sponsoring a
national blood program to pro-
vide whole blood and blood pro-
ducts for our entire civilian pop
ulation. Medical and hospital
authorities, as well as the Army
and Navy, have recommended
such a program. 1t is planned
that by Jan. 1949 approximately
so fixed centers and go mobile
units will be in operation. In the
coming fiscal year the national
blood program may cost from S
to 10 million dollars.
