Red Cross
Drive Nears


The annual fund drive Of the
American Red Cross in Richland
county is nearing competitor, and
most of the residents throughout
the county have been contacted by
the volunteer workers for con-
trSutions. If you have not been
called on, won't you send in your
contribution to either Henry Sche-
pens, chairman for the county, or
John Hall, chairman for the Fund
Drive and they will see that the
money is added to that already
collected.
We hear a great deal about
rockets and sputniks, space satel-
liteS and platforms, early warm
ing systems and guided missiles,
and the ways we may defend our
selves against them. The Red
Cross plays an important part in
the defense of America both in
military and in civil defense.
There is a well-known saying
that a chain is no stronger than
its weakest link, and our military
defense is no stronger than the
men who maintain it. If their
morale is weakened, defense is
weakened. 1t is here that the Red
Cross does one of its biggest jobs,
for it helps in many services in
hospitals, and in maintaining con-
tact between the man in service,
and his family at home. In any
emergency, when a service man
is suddenly needed at home, it is
the Red Cross that helps him to
get there quickly. If he is broke,
the Red Cross will lend money
for travel expenses, which he is
asked to repay from future pay
received during his enlistment. 1t
is never necessary for him to be
away from his family when need
ed, simply for lack of funds to get
home. 1t also aids in tracing men
or families who have lost touch
with each other; and helps with
many services to hospitalized men.
In Civil Defense, it is the Red
Cross that goes in and furnishes
the khow-how for emergency
feeding and clothing of displaced
persons, providing shelter, collect
ing blood, recruiting and training
volunteers, and performing the
thousand-and-one services needed
by persons who have lost every
thing.
1t may be anything from that
indispensable pint of blood, a hot
meal, clean clothes and a bath,
medical supplies and first aid, set
ting up hospitals and shelter,
clearing rubble, providing toys, or
directing traffic on jammed high
ways. Whatever it is, if it is
something you can't do for your
self the American Red Cross is
there to help.
1t has been there in the past
and will be there for all time

the committee that he would

That touched off a tornado

Senator Bridges, Republican Of
