C.—The sol dier stormed Into the Red Cross office at a southern Army camp. His mouth was set in a -hard, straight line; his eyes were cold, determined. His wile trailed him as he strode across the reception room; her face was red and swol len from crying. They v.-ere not over 22. “I need help.” the soldier told the Red Cross field director at the desF. "And I need it fast." The Red Cross field director smiled, hut the soldier did not re turn it. “All right, soldier, let’s see what’s the trouble.’’ "If I don't get help I’m going over the hill," he blurted. "I’m on alert now—due to move out almost any minute. But I’m not going—and leave my wife with no place to stay." Furthef eonversatloa developed that the young bride was an ex pectant mother. She was unable to go home because ot her stepfather. Her husband had no relatives with whom she could stay. And the allot ment he had made to his wife had not yet come through. Two hours later—after much con versation and planning—the soldier was shaking the hand of the Red Cross field director. The Red Cross man had arranged that the soldier’s wife spend the night at the Array camp guest house, preparations had been com pleted with a nearby Red Cros? chapter for her transportation back home. The Red Cross chapter in the girl's home town had agreed to see that she had proper care until the baby was born. By that time the allotment would be coming through. In every United States miUtary sstahlishment, at home and abroad, the American Red Cross maintains e field director and staff to'help Uncle Ssan|g fighting men work out such personal problems. More than 1,900,000 servicemen passed through the offices of the Red’CrMS field directors last year. Their;, pv6ble»%, illnesses, deaths, lost of contact with the home folks. These and other problems are unfolded in a never-ending panorama before Red Cross field directors. Almost always they are solved. The Red Cross.field director is ready to furnish Information, coun sel, and assistance as needed to men of the armed forces. Reaching into every county in the United States through local Red Cross chapters, these workers and local home service chairmen act on be half of the men ot the armed forces and their families in matters affect ing the welfare of either or both. In addition to the servicemen aided by field directors, more than 500.000 families of men in the ser vice received help through Red Cross chapters and branches. Contributions of the American people to the Red Cross during the $126,000,000 War Fund appeal now in progress will help to keep and expand these services to the na: lion’s fighting men. Varied and often unusual are the other demands made of Red Cross field directors. Field Director Wil liam Fluharty, stationed in a re mote Australian area, traveled down to a railroad junction to bring back 6.000 pounds of American maga zines for troops to which he was assigned. Retunttng on a train, he was asked to help deliver a baby for a native woman, belatedly en route to a hospital. Red Oroks Field DlrMtor Albert S. Campbell and two asslsUnts, David S. Oman and John J.
