The ability to rush aid wherever
needed IS one of the greatest as
sets OF the American National Red
Cross. The instant disaster occurs
the Red Cross gets into action
not only from outside the disaster
area, but also within the commu-
nifty affected where the local chap
ter disaster preparedness plan func-
tons instantly.
The imrulse to help some
one in distress is a very hu-
man reaction. 1t inspires tho
staff personnel and the thou
sands of volunteers who give
their time and talents to the
Red Cross. Their effectiveness
lies in providing prompt relief
and results from the 'organiza-
TONS network of 3,745 chapters
and 1858 branches in the United
States, its territories and in
sular possessions.
There are only a few county
seats in the United States without
an active chapter. There is scarce
~ town in the country which does
not have an active branch.
There are three distinct phases
OF every Red Cross disaster opera
ton. They are preparedness for the
disaster; emergency relief for the
victims in the form of food, cloth
ing, shelter and medical care; and
rehabilitation afterwards for those
who cannot finance their own re-
covery. This last is the least under
stood and frequently the most i'm
portant.
Preparedness means that the To-
cal chapter has disaster commit
tee which has planned for fast &C
ton whenever and wherever trouble
hit.
1t means that the local chapter
has understandings with the police,
fire and health departments, with

With pounding heart he mounted
the ridge and paused to look. 1t was
as If hand had suddenly reached
out and was squeezing him in a
powerful grip. He stood rooted,
mouth ajar, staring in Supplied
incredulity at the country below.
With sense of horror he realized
what had happened. The entire
area had been logged by the lum-
Der company, swept bare of every
standing tree and piece of timber.
Every tree stump looked alike;
none was larger or different from
its neighbor. He surmounted great
piles of slash, tearing at them fran
tically, hunting for the stump, the
stump of the great pine tree.
Thus unmindful of his direction
he came again to the river bank.
And when at length he reached the
top Of another hill he paused to
rest, overcome by fatigue. Too
late he felt the slash pile beneath
him slipping away. Too late he
realized that the slash had been
thrown on the brink of precipice
overhanging the river.
Knolton, with a pitiful cry on his
lips, went over the brink. Far, far
below he lay, broken human
body on the jagged rocks.

Next morning when his name

comandant held out his hat he
smiled and selected a disk. "White

There are three resources that

First, if the chapter in the disaster

flashed to national headquarters

Many duties of the Red Cross in
volve emergency operations. often
on a very large scale. In addition
to local service by the chapters,
Red Cross activities are both ma
tional and international. You can
see that the Red Cross must always
be free to mobilize and expand it's
services to meet situations as they
arise. 1t must be able to concen-
trate its whole strength on the re-
lief of a stricken community or
meet the huge demands of a ma
tlonal emergency. No one can fore
see exactly what burdens the Red
Cross may be called upon to as
sumo each year.
1t therefore should be apparent
that the organization cannot well
delegate its fund raising RESPONSE
blllty to another agency Nor can it
commit itself to an alliance which
might hinder its freedom or ca
pacity to meet its national and in
ternational responsibility.

In December Of 1914, my tea
room friend-the scientist from
Warsaw-was cattle-carred to this
concentration camp and assigned
to a barrack occupied almost ex-
clusively by captured Russian SOL
diers. He was asked the usual ques-
tons, and when the Russians found
the newcomer was a Pole, they
quickly let him know that the fra
ternity of races as preached by
Moscow was confined to Kremlin
publicity handouts.
And when he further admitted he
had never joined the Party-not
for any big theological reason, but
simply because he was a scientist
and had no interest in politics.
the Red army men decided he was
an enemy of the state and began
to plot against him.
THE POLE, however, was more
worried about the disks in the hat
than the whisperings going on
about him. Under the lottery sys-
tenn, it would be almost two
months before his name was
called, and since news had fill
tered into camp that the Russian
forces were only a few weeks away,
he kept telling himself that liberia
ton might come before the date
for the drawing. But as the days
turned into weeks, and still no
sound Of far-away cannon, he re-
signed himself to taking his $3.50
chances with the hat.
The night before the fateful
morning, the scientist was lying

hole. Knolton had dug the hole
months before, allowed the under
growth to grow over it so that no
trace of his" recent visit would be
in evidence.
He deposited the bag in the hole
and carefully replaced the dirt.
IT WAS A MONTH before Knolton
= reached his destination; tiny
village hundreds of miles south Of
the lumber camp. Here he paused
to rest with, a friend. By now he
had grown beard. The friend pro-
vided dye, and Knolton changed
the color Of his hair from light
brown to black.
Six months later Knolton,
now known as Carl :Hedman,
with no trace Of the one-time
clerk showing beneath his per-
feet disguise, rode leisurely
back toward the scene of his
crime.
The lumbermen gave him no
more than a passing glance.
Satisfied that he had not been
recognized, Knolton followed the
river to the mouth of the tributary.

Quoted by distinguished Nazi scien-
lists.
By IS STANDARDS, the method
OF selecting these guinea pigs was
scrupulously fair. Each morning
before breakfast, the so men in
each of the wooden barracks would
stand at attention until the COM
mandant appeared with list of
their names. He would read off
the top name on the list and the
prisoner whose name was called
would step forward.
The commandant would then
hand two small leather disks, one
marked with a white circle. and
the other with a black, to the
"trustee" Of the barracks for ex-
animation. Then the commandant
would drop the disks into his hat,

needed it will recruit and assign
trained workers from its list of
disaster resources.
Then there is the matter of sup
plies. Drugs, whole blood plasma
and the like are brought in from
the closest sources. Food, clothing,
and essential furniture are pro-
cured, locally if possible. And when
additional shelter is needed, tents
and cots are borrowed from the
national guard or the United States
military establishment.
A good example of disaster
relief was demonstrated recent
ly when typhoon struck
Guam. The chapter there,
headed by Gov. Carlton Skin
ner, had S38,000 which could be
used for emergency. The COM
mittee moved in fast, securing
food, clothing, and medical
care for the victims.
Because the crops were DESTROYED,
supplies of food were shipped or
flown into the island. Rehabilita-
ton started as soon as the high
winds permitted.
This is just one of the numerous
disasters that the Red Gross has
dealt with during the brief period
of my association with the organ
ization. More recently, the organ
lzatlon has been called upon for
help in relieving Midwest flood suf-
