Red Cross Is Active
Among the Soldiers
P
Fort Bragg s branch of the Amer
ican Red Cross set a new record for
service to soldiers during Novem
ber, owing to an influx of soldiers
for maneuvers and wholesale volun
teering on the part of the ladies of
Fort Bragg as assistants.
During the month 15.897 new cases
were originated, according to the
monthly report submitted by Mr. |
John A. Cramer, field director, to i
the commanding officer of Fort
Bragg. These ranged all the way i
from furnishing "prisoners of war" |
from maneuvers needed tooth
brushes and soap, when they were
cut off from their own regiments, to
investigations aimed at getting em
ergency furloughs and discharges
for men needed at home. Of these
cases.? 2.276 wi re investigations
Many of the cases consisted of direct
aid, in some cases financial, to sol
diers and their families
A major part of the activities of
the Red Cross occurred in the four
Station Hospitals at Fort Bragg,
with 1,000 patients served with mag
azines, toilet articles, materials to,
write home, and either near-necessi-1
ties.
The regular Red Cross staff at
Fort Bragg, twenty strong, was ably
assisted hy 65 women volunteering
for the entire period of maneuvers,
along with many others who aided
them when they were able. In addi
tion to this staff, a number bf field
workers were engaged in "soldier
aid" in the field with maneuvering
troops
Nearly 1,400.000 of the nation's
farms have substituted electric lights
for oil lamps in the past 6 1-2 years,

Farmers Urged To
Produce No. 1 ^ ar
Material ? Food
"What can I do? is the question
being asked now by North Carolina
farmers in the early days of this
war. Dean I. O. Schaub of State Col
lege. agricultural representative on
the executive committee of the State
Defense Council, answers the ques
tion in part.
He says: ' Agriculture's part in the
war-time economy of the United
States is to produce the No. 1 war
material?food. We need to grow
more food than we've ever grown
before We don't need more tobacco
or cotton, and if necessary we should
sacrifice acreage of these two crops
to produce food, and feed from which
food can be produced."
Dean Schaub said the goals estab
lished under the Food-for-Freedom
campaign, and accepted by farmers
when they signed their farm plans
for 1942. will insure enough food for
home use. and for the fighting forces
of the United States and her allies.
But under no circumstances can we
aford to fall short of meeting these
goals." he declared. "The best policy
now is to plan to exceed the goals "
The State College leader said the
two immediate and practical jobs
for farm people are to see that farm
machinery is in good repair, and to
collect scrap metal off the farm and
sell it to junk yards.
"Steel is scarce." Dean Schaub as
serted. "and more scrap metal is ur
gently needed for steel production.
The manufacturers of farm machin
Itv must know at once how much
steel will be needed to produce re
pair parts for farm tractors, com
bines and other machines. The metal
will be allocated to produce these
parts The problem right now is to
determine what parts are required."
The United States has a great su
periority in the matter of food. Dr.
Schaub said, "and it is up to farm
people to see that we remain super
ior." he asserted.
