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

that on the battlefield the wounded ]
should be given a'?l by doctors, nurses |
and other?., who should wear the sign j
ot the Red 'toss, and be treated as |
neutrals In the war tare.
Two Americans attended this tlrsi
convention, the American Ministei

Clara Barton Founder
But there had emerged from the Civil
War period a middle-aged woman who
nad seen much service on the battle

Clara Barton 111 health caused her to
make a trip to Europe in 1869. There
she became interested in the Red
Cross Idea, and joined a unit which
j saw service iu the Franco-Prussian
war. Upon her return home, she
launched an active campaign for the
I treaty, but met the same opposition |
