Investment In Blood Program Yielding Big Returns (Continued from Page One) Red Cross through the years has been the American people’s first line of de fense against the havoc and suffering causes by disaster. Disaster work is financed entirely by national Red Cross funds. The amount contributed by the Tri-Cities is an in vestment — a kind of insurance — in case the community ever experiences a major disaster. Although the Blood Program and dis aster relief are the more dramatic and attention-getting services provided by the Red Cross, there are many other fields in which the Red Cross regularly serves local people. Home service is a charter obligation of Red Cross. It is the connecting link between the men and women in the armed forces and their families back home. In the last fiscal year the local chapter assisted 179 service men, veterans 8 and their families with many services communications, counseling, financial aid and applications for government benefits. Another 88 individuals were given limited services, not counted as cases. In another area of work, annual re port showed that a total of 204 home nursing certificates and 12 mother-baby care certificates were awarded. There are five active nurses aides in the local chapter. Four of these aides work in the Blood Program and three aides gave a total of 292 volunteer hours working in Morehead Hospital. The report showed that nine addi tional Tri-City men and women com pleted a Red Cross first aid instructor’s course, giving the community a total of 23 first aid instructors trained and cer tified by the Red Cross. Ten other class es were held and 124 first aid certifi cates were awarded since the last repor*^ by the Red Cross chapter.
