What an American Dollar Can Do, Read at Red Cross Meeting: A dollar rolled into my office the other day, sat down on the edge of the desk, and rubbed its silver face. "Well," he said wearily, "I've had a busv year. Gosh, but I'm glad you didn't tut me in the bank or pay me out on your car." "You'd better be glad you didn't go to pay the income tax," I responded. "Where have you been all this time? Sit down and give an account of yourself." '"I have Ven spending most of my time among the ex-service men," he admitted. "Do you know that in this country there are at present 26,000 ex-service men m hospitals served by the Red Cross?" "I've been visiting Oteen, where there are 1,100 men suf fering and dying with tubercu losis, contracted through the war, and Ken ll worth, where men lie year after year in plaster casts because of a bit of shrap nel in their pines. And I vis ited the Psychiatric hospitals where the boys we sent away in 1917 scream and rave and are kept behind bars til they die. Ten million of my dollar friends went to hlp the ex-service men last year and through the Fed eral Beard of Vocational Train ing we have helped 80,000 ex service men thrown out of jobs because of disability. And these 80,000 men represent at least 250,000 women and chil dren dependent on them. Oh, no. the war isn't over yet. by any means. In the hospitals and sanatoriums it is still being fought." The dollar paused a moment and stroked the E. Plur ibus Unum on his brow, then continued pensively, "Ah, yes, I've seen some strange things since you sent me away last year. I'v been in seventy dis asters in the United States alone calamities like the San Antonio flood I must tell you what we have done through your own Chatham County Chapter A. R. C. and her auxiliaries. You will remember, I know, those of us you sent out on your mission of mercy soon after vour 4th Red Cross Roll Call was completed last fall. Well you may be sure we've been busy since that time. We spread out just as fa and wide as we could, possibly. Some of us went straight to Oteen to jhelp carry Christmas chetr to ; those ex-service men I've told you of, and by the way, while at Oteen we found one of your own 1 men there who had received a Christmas box from you ' 'all his own," and gee! he was a happy man, so overcome with the joy of it, he could scarcely untie the string to find what the box con tained. Such is the joy your shining dollars gave to these men at Oteen at Christmas, along with many others of us sent from else whpre. and added to this were ithe cheery words and merry I smiling faces of the R. C. nurses who served those men so faith fully. Then, too, the Near East was twice made glad through your generous gifts for their relief. The many Chinese children who wre starving, for want of enough food to keep them alive, send you their grateful thanks for sending us to them when they most needed us. "I must mention too, " said the dollar sitting on the edge of my desk, "your generous gift of twenty-five of us, you sent to one of your own townswomen, who was sick and needed your help. She might have known we would come to her, through you, for while the A. R. C. loves, and loves to do for her ex-service men she, too, is always ready and looking out for any suffering ones who need her snining dollars. "You have certainly earned a vacation," I assured him. "Do you want to spend a quiet lite time in the safe deposit vault or hovv about a few months in the baby's bank? Either one is guar anteed to be restful.
