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 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.
