THOUSAND DISASTERS RECEIVED RED CROSS AID IN 50 YEARS American Society to Celebrate Its Birth Year With Nation wide Observance Tornadoes, floods, forest flres and other calamities and upheavals of na ture have visited the United States more than one thousand times In the last half century. All of these were of severe Intensity, causing loss of life and great property damage. Minor catastrophes were not counted In this list of disasters, which has been made public by the American Red Cross, in connection with the cele bration this year of Its fiftieth birth day. It was on the evening of May 21, 18S1, in the modest home of Miss Clara Barton in Washington, D. C.. that the American Association of the Red Cross was first formed. Before the year was out, and before, indeed, the United States Government had officially | moved to approve the Treaty of j Geneva, adding this nation to the com- ! pany of thirty-two others adhering to the treaty to protect wounded In war fare, Miss Barton had plunged the small society into a disaster relief task. First Red Cross Unit This was in the north woods of Michigan, where forest fires swept the homestead farms or pioneering fam ilies. Miss Barton, as president of the Red Cross, had organized a branch in Dansville, New York, where she was sojourning. This little group Imme diatrly raised money, food, clothing and other supplies and sent them to the forest fire victims. In Rochester i and Syracuse, New York, nearby, word i spread of this charitable enterprise, and Red Cross auxiliaries were organ ized there to help. So began the disas ter relief work of the Red Cr?ss fifty years ago. In the intervening years, i millions of men, women and children have been aided. Thousands of homes have been restored. Thousands of ' persons, overwhelmed by floods, tor nadoes, and fires until all they pos sessed had been wiped away, have been rehabilitated and prosperity^ and I happiness again smiled upon them. This year has been dedicated by the Red Cros> and its chapters in 3.500 communities to comjnemoration of the | even's which led to the birth of the I society in the Inited ?tifrj9 President Hoover Speaks j The celebration of the anniversary I was Inaugurated in Washington at a dinner, attended hy many distin- ' gu\- .oil me!', and women, at which Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes presided, and President Hoover, who j is the president ot the American Red Cross. was the chiet speaker.
