in their distress caused by unemploy
ment. disaster or other misfortune.
A major relief task, due to unem
ployment and other unusual conditions
in the bituminous mining counties in
twenty states, was met by the Ked
Cross chapters alone, or participating
with other agencies. in these 143 conn
ties. the Red Cross aided 90.000 fami
lies through giving groceries, school
lunches, clothing, flour and other ne
cessities to combat privation.
flour, milled from government wheat
turned over to the Ked Cross by Con
gress. was given to 15.000.000 persons
in the period from March 8 to June "0.
the close of the fiscal year. Flour will
continue to be given through the win
ter of l!) 32-33. and Rod Cross chapters
also will give cotton clothing, made
from government cotton turned over
to the R"d Cross for distribution.
"The Red Cross faces the busiest
whiter since the days ot the World
War." Chairman John Barton Payne
said. "It is organized in virtually every
one of the 3.072 counties in the United
States, and will co-operate with all
agencies to meet distress wherever
found. The flour has proved of groat
heneiit. and the cotton clothing will be
given wide distribution."
While carrying on nation-wide these
unemployment and other relief meas
ures. the Rod Cross also was engaged
in its regular peace-time activities in
public health nursing, service to ex
service men and their families, teach
ing home hygiene, life saving and tirst
aid. The Junior Red Cross, composed
of almost 7.0U0.000 school children, also
rallied to the support of the society's
relief efforts, and the children aided
others of their age in practical ways,
formed sewing and food canning
classes, and were of great assistance
ic chapter relief work.
While the wheat and cotton were
given by the U. S. Government, no
money was provided to pay for the
necessary work entailed. The Red Cross
will meet this expense of almost
1500.000 from Us treasury. Citizens
ran aid by Joining as members of the
