OF In MonrOe County
Disposition OF Red Cross Money Is Detailed

and II Is proper and right that
they should carry their share Of
the operating expense. Last year
the local Red Cross office handled
9os active service cases and 20
veteran eases totaling li0s for ser
vice personnel and only 90 cases
for civilians.
There were "A cases where
leaves Of absence were verified
and some were extended. The tele.
graphic cost Of caring for these
cases totaIed s32s.24 and other fin
ancial assistance was rendered in
the extend Of s2,79i.04.
Besides this the local Chapter
carried sick families 10 the hospi-
tails, provided care for children
during sickness Of mothers whose
husbands were in the service or at
sea. These totaled i54 cases. You
and each member Of the American
Red Cross should be proud Of the
fact that this service can be rend-
cred. II II were not done, neigh
bors would have to come to the
rescue and If they didn't, children
and families would be neglected,
and much suffering would be
found.
Workers Donate Time
While many give their one dol
lar for membership in the Ameri-
can Red Cross, there are 36 off,
GERS and directors Of the local or.
ganization who give of their time
and means to direct the affairs of
this humanitarian work. None of
them receive one cent In remun-

The modest salaries received by
these women do not compare with
what a beginning typist can get in
