Director of Disaster Service Explains Role Played by Red Cross Victim# of hurricane Hazel who are discovering they cannot meet disaster-caused needs on their own are turning to their Red Cross for rehabilitation assistance through out the counties in North and South Carolina swept by the hurri cane. John Russell, director of disaster services in the southeastern area, outlined the basic Red Cross dis aster relief policies governing the extension of assistance. He said: 1. Red Cross relief is based on need, not loss. 2. The Red Cross deals only with problems created or aggravated by disaster and relief id given to dis aster sufferers only. 3. Mass relief is extended dur ing the emergency period immedi ately following the disaster, but is terminated at the earliest possible date: the further assistance deter mined by case work processes is given in the rehabilitation period upon the basis of the needs of each individual family. 4. Families are expected to use their actual and potential re sources in meeting their needs. The Red Cross supplements the ef forts of the family. 5. The Red Cross does not make loans to disaster sufferers; its re lief is given freely and creates no obligation on the part of the re cipient. 6. Insofar as possible, all relief expenditures made by (lie Red Cross are kept in the channels of trade in the affected area. 7. Medical relief supplements the work of public and private health agencies and of the medi cal and dental professions. 8. Assistance is extended with out political, religious, or racial discrimination. Delinquency, im morality, and other deviations from accepted standards of living are not considered sufficient grounds for withholding relief when dis aster-caused needs exist. 9. Cash grants are given when facts established in the case inves tigation indicate conclusively that this is the best way to help the family. 10. Individual awards and case records are strictly confidential. 11. Families moving away from the area receive the same consid eration as those remaining. 12. The Red Cross does not as sist larva commercial or industrial concerns or charitable organiza tions. All in this county who have dis aster-caused needs, Mr. Russell stated, should register with their local Red Cross chapter, or at the nearest Red Cross disaster relief headquarters as the first step to ward getting the full support of their Red Cross in the rehabilita tion of their families. "This assistance," he said, "will include the necessary repair or re building of homes damaged by the hurricane and the essential fur nishings, and is swarded with no obligation on the part of the dis aster sufferer to repay the Red Cross, since this service is made possible by the public's support of the organization. * Farmers Like Hubrid Yields Gates County Negro farmers are happy they planted more hybrid corn this year, according to Negro County Agent H. L. Mitchell. The Negro agent said that even though the season was very dry and in some sections little corn was made, those who used hybrid va rieties made a fairly good crop. Typical of the Negro farmers who tried and liked hybrid corn are, N. L. Nowell, Hobbsville; W. C. Costen, Middle Swamp; and J. J. Matthews, Gatesville. Nowell has compared Funks G 704, N. C. 1032, Dixie 82 and U. S. 282. Last year he found Dixie 82 to be the best yielding corn he had and is sure that this year's final results will find the hybrid out yielding open-polinated corn. Costan averaged over 100 bush els per acre on some of his hy brid. He used Funks G-134, G-704, and G-9, and also Pioneer 203 and Dixie 82. He likes Funks G-134 but thinks that with a good season Dixie 82 will out yield anything he has tried. While he is experimenting with several varieties, J. J. Matthews particularly likes N. C. 1032. Mat thews grows enough for home use and also sells some corn. County Agent Mitchell added that several other farmers have special varieties which are getting attention from farmers over the county. He said the importance of using recommended hybrid seed corn is being talked by Gates Coun ty Negro farmers. Shattering Sfteed Detroit (AP) ? Gerald A.

C '? ? 1 ' I 1 ' Storm-Damaged Trees Require Repair Service Hurricane Hazel left a terrific *sk of tree repair. The loss of :rees blown down was staggering. Hundreds of thousands of other rees were seriously weakened be cause of broken limbs, torn tranches, snapped off twigs ana trenched root systems. Smaller trees that listed after the lurricane should be a righted at >nce while the soil still is moist ind held erect by guy wires until heir roots have been re-establish ;d. During the weeks and months ihead, according to Dr. Philip L. flusden of the Bartlett Tree Re search Laboratories, dangling limbs ihould be removed, stubs of torn )ranches cut back flush to a. par ent limb or trunk and wounds tainted, weak limbs cabled and V rrotches braced. This pruning is important so that he wounds will heal and se?*l be :ore damaging heart rot fungi can get a foothold. It will also prevent >ark beetles and borers from breed ng in weakened and dying wood, rhe hurricane carried for miles in lects which transmit Dutch elm lisease as well as other infections. Unless curbed, tree diseases may )reak out like a rash in new areas lext year, said Dr. Rusden. Equally important as pruning is 'eeding tattered trees to help them egain lost vigor more quickly. The hurricane also pointed up ;he need for avoiding planting such brittle trees as the silver maple, ed maple if it has multiple lead ers, poplar and Chinese elm. It ilso showed that trees along streets and highways or those weakened >y building construction were oiown down with greater frequency :han those standing in the open with good root systems. t"I CO CMtdWiH.EJlO.AO' ar ?
