S. military forces at five times their prewar strength, a record number of American Red Cross workers are serving them throughout the world More than 2,000 Red Cross rep resentatives today are stationed at 1,300 military installations and 123 hospitals here and overseas. About MOO staff workers are serving troops in this country. The others are working at occupation and de fense posts abroad. Only during the peak years of World War II were a larger number on duty. The duties of these Red Gross workers are as varied as the looale in which they work, involving S wide range of welfare services that contribute to military morale. They may include tiding over a soldier's wife with grocery and rent money until her family allowance cheek comes through, or getting a wel fare report on an Eskimo service man's mother via weather bureau radio. Sometimes it means getting word of a family emergency to a sailor with the fleet in the Mediterranean. Service of the Red Cross worker in a military hospital may be help ing a man through the difficult hour when he learns that he will n~vf>r be well again or removing the worry that often stands in the v-ay of his recovery. % I'nder federal statate and regulations of the Amy. the Navy, end the Air Foree, the American Red Croes furnishes volunteer aid to the siek and wounded of the armed ferecs and acts in matters of velantary relief and aa a medium of com munication between the people of the United Statee and their armed forces. In >the last year Red Croes staff members handled more than 102, 000 welfare cases in military hos pitals. More than 500 professional Red Cross workers are stationed at 40 army hospitals, 26 navy hos pitals, and 14 air force hospitals. For the able-bodied, too, what ever the problem or wherever the ?viceman is stationed, the chances other Southeastern states are in vited to attend. Peter McLaren, champion chop per, will demonstrate the proper use of axes. Power saws, skidders, tractors, loaders, and trucks will be used in handling the logs, which will be made into lumber by three sawmills. Automatic sorting of lumber as well as package handling wood and lumber will be featured. The Red Cross man at Hicham Air Force base, Hawaii, lead a help inf hand to a young marine, en route from Kwajalein to his Mains home on emergency leave. are that the <fied Cross has a field worker on the spot or nearby who can help try to solve it In this country 361 field dire? tors and their assistants cover 146 base stations, 31 substations, and 928 itinerant stations. During the last year field directors at camps handled more than 672,000 cases. Health and welfare reports re quested by servicemen or their families were the most common type of help asked for. More than 179,000 such cases were recorded. The next most frequent type of re quest was that involving leave or extension of leave. The Red Cross cannot grant leave, but military authorities depend upon the or ganization for reports of conditions underlying leave requests. These ses run into many thousands each year. Abroad, Red Cross coverage is almost as complete as in this coun try. In Japan alone, 159 men and women are serving occupation troops at 31 military installations and 14 hospitals. Other parts of lAe Far East are equally well staffed. In Europe, 248 Red Cross work ers serve military personnel and their dependents at 51 military in stallations and 15 hospitals, most of them in occupied Germany Cov erage is also given in Englan ' a-vt to miscellaneous units still in | France. A panel discussion of logginj and sawmilling problems will b conducted by several well-knowi men representing the lumber am pulpwood interests. This progran will be held during the evening o October 25. The demonstration area on th< animal husbandry farm is a shor distance north of U. S. Highway ] about five miles west of Raleigh It will be well marked with direc tion signs. Sweet Potatoes Top Plentifuls Fresh sweet potatoes are mar keted in heavy volume in this area in October and they're first on the U. S. Department of Agri culture's Southern plentiful foods list for the month, Mrs. Annie H. Greene, home demonstration a gent for the State College Exten sion Service, reported this week. Although the nation's tbtal i production of sweet potatoes still is below average, she said, it's about 4 per cent larger than last year, and supplies will be heav iest during the height of the fresh marketing season. After I October, the volume of markets probably will decline as harvest I ing decreases. Apples are second in the Oc tober plentiful lineup, and USDA says supplies are due for a big increase from a commercial ^rop that's 45 per cent above last year. Harvesting will reach a peak in many areas in October, and lots of top quality apples Turkeys are another crop | showing a sizable increase over last year,' with production up an estimated 29 per cent for the I country. Producers are moving them to market early this year, i Mrs. Greene said. I In addition, USDA lists chick ens, peanut butter, canned corn, manufactured dairy products, j pork products, cooking fats, al monds, and honey as October plentifuls, the home agent said, will be shipped to market.
