TILSON, Red Cross Drive Chairman Red Cross has many new friends this year in celebrat ing its 75th anniversary. Ask the more than 28,000 fam ilies who were affected by disasters, as their towns were badly damaged, and thousands of acres of farm lands flooded, with many homes and businesses destroyed. God has been good to us in Madison County. Hurri canes Connie, Dianne and lone swept across a section of our state and country last Fall. Red Cross helped 3,200 families to get back on their feet and spent over '2 mil lion dollars in North Carolina alone. Ten homes were completely febuilt and 1,304 repaired through Red Cross assistance. Our Red Cross is active in Madison County. First Aid is taught in schools and industries. Swimming classes are taught by Red Cross trained teachers. Volunteers trained as Social Welfare Aids help service men and their fami lies in case of emergencies; and trained also to assist in case of enemy attack (Civil Defense). Of course, the greatest of all services is the Blood Service, which makes available to doctors and hospitals blood when needed. What WOULD we do without our Red Cross blood pro gram? To quote from a recent article in the 'Saturday Eve ning Post,' titled The Red Cross Will Need A Raise In 1956: "It is our guess that this year the American Red Crss won't get many complaining letters reading: "What did you do with all that money you got last year?" By this time the most skeptical American must be aware of the fact that 1955 was a year of disaster in this country. Floods, 'hurricanes and tornadoes which struck various parts of the country with destructive force strained the resources of the Red Cross to the limit. Its budgeted disaster-relief funds are gone, as well as $16,000,000 contributed by the American people after the New England floods last sum mer.' Even the $8,000,000 disaster-reserve fund, which the Red Crpss does its best to keep for a rainy day, has 11 but disappeared. Hn view of all this, it should be no urprise that the Red Cross this year is asking the Amer ican people for more money even than they contributed in 1955. The budget this year is estimated at $90,000,000, (which is $8,000,000 more than was originally planned, and $5,000,000 more than was sought last year. The way na ture has been acting up recently, it would be imprudent for the American Red Cross to ask for no more than was found necessary last year. The response of the coun try will, it is safe to predict, be generous and realistic." We, in Madison County, must therefore increase our contributions this year because of "this dangerously low level of Rea Cross Disaster Funds. The Need Is Great In '56. Let Us Meet The Challenge! -oOo- HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN The 1956 Easter Seal Campaign to help the handi capped so they may live like other children is in progress. Your knowledge and enthusiasm are important. Your services, in addition to your cash donations, are of great importance. You can volunteer now to help in the fund raising, or inquire about helping with transportation of crippled children to clinics or the many other service pro grams which so sorely need assistance. Whatever you do in the Easter Seal Society, you are helping crippled chil dren. Volunteering to help in your own community in whatever way you wish can be of great assistance to the Crippled Children's Society. Mrs. R. R. Ramsey, president of the Madison County Crippled Children's Society, must have cooperation from the citizens of every section in order to make the campaign a success. Mrs. Leonard Baker, of Walnut, is Easter Seal Sale Chairman for the -campaign and Miss Eloise Ward is treasurer. Contact any of these ladies if you feel you can assist. Hundreds of letters have freB mailed to individuals this week, asking for. contributions. Hlaase don't throw these letters in the waste basket without' considering what YOUR donation means to some crippled child. In Madison County, there are over 700 who are handi capped. Had you realized this enormous number? We also want you to know that fifty-fire percent (55) of your donation stays in "Madison County. In other words, 5 cents of every dollar you contribute' stays in Madison County .to help some handicapflr. ehila. Surely, no one will refuse to donate some sum JpIi worthwhile cause. If youliave not received a letter explaining the Easter Seal Campaign, you may stiir senidLyour contribution to Hiss Eloise Ward, Marshall, N. C, who is treasurer.
