More t'luan haJf of the American Ked Cross bud get is used to carry these services directly to our hoys wherever they are. Fifty tp one hundred men ajnd women a .week are being 'given special training at Ked Cross Na tional Headquarters. The majority are sent out as Field Directors and their staffs as-signed to 176 stations. More than 300 of these workers are on duty Overseas. Over their desks are j>oured th,e troubled stories of Service-men, stories of aged and ill parents who are having a hard time get ting along, stories of business or legal tangles that have followed the soldier into service.

One-fourth of aill occupational ?accidental dealt hs 'happen on -farms, according to Mr. Long, who was president of the National Safety Council from 1933 to 1935. "Farm families must realize tliat it is patriotic to prevent accidents ?that they are really helping win the war every time they prevent an accident to a man or a mach ine," Mr. Ix>ng pointed out. "Ac cidents on the farm not only lead to broken homes and loss of pro duction, they also take doctors and tnurses away from other ser ious oases at a time when there is a shortage of doctors and nur ses as well as war and farm work ers. "Thus i$ becomes immediately apparent why we camnot afford 1(),500 accidental deaths among farmers and their families, which was the total for 1942."

Furnishing recreation for our fighting men is another phase of this branch of the Service. Here at home by mid-year were 70 hospital recreation buildings buiJt by the Army and staffed by the Red Cross which anducts recrea tion programs for convalescent pa tients. Highly trained medicaJ case workers here and abroad aid the recovery of convalescent patients by bringing their deft skills to biar on personal problems and worries. In a dozen locations where troops are based abroad, the Red Gross has established recreation centers. Good Health and high spirits nate priority. Red Cross service clubs such as the much publicized Washington Red Cross have converted hotels and other buildings into home-like places of relaxation and refreshment for men on leave in foreign lands.

When war struck, 75 percent of the allotment was ready, Several weeks later the entire total of 45,648,300 dressings had been de livered.
