to him and wanted a piece of to
bacco. Mr. Underhill anxious to
accommodate returned to his
store and by the aid of a flash

bacco. As he handed it to the
supposed purchaser he w^s cover- \
ed with a pistol but seeing only
one person he engaged him by
knocking him over. At this
time an unseen person struck
Mr. Underhill twice over the
head, felling him. His hands
were tied behind hifq and hts rum
and what cash he had was taken.
This done Mr Underhill was
marched back to his bome and
caused to enter the room in

Why The Red
Cross Annual
Roll Call?
With people contributing to the
relief of hurricane victims, why
does the Red Cross ask them for
memberships?
These questions are never ask -
ed directly, but they are indicated
in the attitude of a great part of
the public. Most people have -i
very hazy idea of the real func
tion of the Red Cross in disaster,
and many exciting events hava
passed since that howling and
drenched 15th of September when
death and misery struck the Car
oftna coasts So the people are
not to blame for indifference to
ward the present Roll Call.
In the crisis of a disaster, the
papers are full of the Red Cross.
They tell of the Chapter's worlr
n sheltering, feeding and giving
medical care 'to the victims. They
tell of trained disaster workers
of the National Red Cross staff
arriving on the ground and set
ting up a relief system. They tel!
of the emergency measures and
of the appeal for relief funds.
Then disaster news drops into
hack pages with less space, for
the world is going on and new
and important matters are com
ing up. So it remains for you,
the Chapter workers, to gcf out
and tell the people of the patient
routine with its complicated prob
lems which tile Red Cross Disas
ter Unit carries on after the
drama has passed.
To get in supplies to the hun
gry and home less on the isolai
ed fishing villages of the Bank^
and the Sounds make a thrilling
Atory. But there is nothing dra
matic about Uncareful checking
up on the needs and resources of
these refugees and giving them
orders for so many feet of lum
her, so many windows and doors
and so many pounds of nails, an?
perhaps stoves, beds, bedding and
other furniture. That is business.
' handled like any other business.
Rehabilitation lias none of tin
elements that fire the imagina
tion. such as are encountered in
the early emergency. Rehabilita
tion is methodical, yet intensely
human ? as human as the work of
a lawyer or doctor. It goes in
to family histories with their
tragedies and comedies in a sym
pathetic and understanding way,
still this does not make news for
the papers.
Red Cross relief still continue)
in the hurricane area of North
Carolina. At last report. 2,11.!
families had registered for aid
New cases come in as people who
thought they could pult out from
he disaster unaided find them
selves forced by "circumstances to
apply for help.
in me repair aiiu rcuuuuins
of taomett of destitute victims of
the storm, the Red Cross has
stood alone It has been the Red
Cross that has given the materi
als?with at! credit to the Couify
Welfare Departments that have
supplied labor in cases where the
families could not supply their
own. Relationships between .the
Red Cross and the local and statJ
1 public relief agencies have been
- cordial and cooperative.
When the final accounting is
' made, it will be found that th<?
? National Red Cross has spent ten
timesvas much as the sum total
of the local relief contributions.
? In other words, the Red Cross is
> spending not only the funds col
lected In this State but drawing
upon its National Organization
i for approximately 90 per cent of
the total cost of the relief.
Funds raised locally have >11
1 gone directly to the disaster vic
- tims. and not one cent of these
funds has helped to support the
Red Cross locally or nationally.
,TWo things must be borne in
mind in regard to the North Car
olina hurricane:
1. The Red Cross had local
Chapters -ready for action in the
stricken area when the hurricane
struck: they had been there for
years and will remain there.
2. Tlit- Rational Organization
with headquarters in Washington.
D. C.. had a trained and experi
enced disaster staff ready to tak?
charge of relief and see that It
was given to the best advantage
for all. promptly and Impartially.
The local Chapter and Nation
al Organization have their con
tinued life in the Annual Roll
Call, now in progress.
Let every Chapter strive to en
roll a maximum of the people of
its territory before the member
ship campaign ends on Thanks
giving Day, November 3#th.
