With people contributing to the relief of hurricane victims, why does the Red Crost ask them for memberships? These questions are never ask ed directly, but they are Indicat ed in the attitude of a great part of the public. Most people have a very hazy Idea of the real func tion of the Red Cross In disaster, and many exciting events have passed since that howling and drenched 15th of September when death and misery struck the Carolina coasts. So the peo ple are not to blame (or indif ference toward the present Roll Call.

They tell of trained disaster workers of the National Red Cross siaff arriving on the ground and set ting up a relief system. They tell of the emergency measures and of the appeal for relief funds.
