Hi ;
The young veteran, obviously In
pain, told the Home Service worker
at the Red Cross chapter that "Red
Cross is my last chance."
He explained that he hoped the
Red Cross should refer him to some
light work. Although he really did
not feel able to do any kind of
work because of the severe pains
in his back, he was determined to
resume his work as a carpenter to
support his family.
The Red Cross worker suggested
that the ex-serviceman take ad
vantage of his benefits and visit
the nearby VA hospital for further
treatment. Looking hopeless, the
young man shrugged, "If I go to a
hospital, who will care for my wife
and baby? My claim for disability
compensation has been filed with
the VA, but I haven's received a
decision on it. I know I shouldn't
work, but I must support my fam
ily." "The Red Cross wasn't that vet's
'last chance' by any means," Mrs.
N. B. Boney, secretary of Home
Service of the Duplin County Red
Cross Chapter explained. "It was
actually the organization which
could give him a real chance. The
chapter agreed to give immediate
financial assistance for his wife
and baby until the claim could be
decided. In the meantime, the vet
eran went to the VA hospital, con
fident that his family would bp
cared for while he received treat
ment." Mrs. Boney further explained
that serving veterans and their de
pendents is one of the primary
obligations in the Red Cross char
ter. Through Home Service, the
Red Cross is able to assist veteran'
by giving guidance on personal and
family problems, assistance in pre
senting claims for government
benefits, and emergency financial
aid on the basis of need pending
receipt of service-connected disa
bility allowances and death bene
fits. In some cases, the Red Cross
acts as a channeling agency, refer
ring special problems to other com
munity agencies with more facili
ties available to solve the veteran':
problem.
During the past year, 365 vet
erans and their dependents receiv
ed some type of assistance through
the Home Service Dept. of the
Duplin County Chapter.
"Beeauce of the increase in the
number of veterans needing assist
ance, the Red Cross must expand
its Home Service program to carry
oul its charter obligations," Mrs.
Borey added. "We are counting on
every citizen in this county to con
tinue helping the ex-serviceman
through the support of the current
Red Cross campaign. In the Ion?
run, it's up to the general public
to see that the Duplin Red Cross
Chapter can give veterans a real
chance by providing them with the
type of service they need and de
serve." An elderly Norwegian fisherman
weathered the Florida hurricane
last fall In a small shack, praying
that his only means of livelihood,
a small fishing boat, was anchored
securely against the raging winds
outside.
But his worst fears were realized
early next morning when hi fmmH
his boat had been swept away and
stock of what was left - - his meager
savings of $231, a few pieces of
clothing, and his pride which would
not allow him to show his tragic
loss. Although he kuew he was too
old to get much of a job, he felt
his only alternative was to obtain
work around one of the local fish
houses.
That old fisherman didn't real
ize he was one of the many dis
aster victims for whom the Ameii-
can people give funds each year as
a nest egg against trouble.. Helping
disaster victims to help themselves
is a primary obligation of the Red
Cross.
A friend of the old fisherman re
ferred him to the Red Cross relief
office, which had been set up fol
lowing the hurricane In the village.
and after a few weeks, after investi
gation, the" Old fisherman was told
that Red Cross funds were there
to help in buying another boat Al
though the news was almost too
good to believe, he picked out a
used boat which cost several hun
dred dollars. His pride would not
let him accept full cost of the boat
from the Red Cross -- he wanted
to give as much as he could from
his own earnings. Finally, it was
agreed that he could pay $180 on
the boat without hardship to him
self. The Red Cross made up the
difference.
The dollars given in Duplin dur
ing the Chapter's Fund campaign
may not be needed next year in our
county, and we certainly hope not
declared Dr. H. W. Colwell, chair
man Duplin County Chapter, but
what we give this year to the Red
Cross will help the disaster-stricken
in other communities, as well as in
our own if catastrophe oacurs.

Q. How can I make a cake of
beeswax?
A. Simply wrap the crude wax
in several thicknesses of cheeso
cloth or well-washed flannel and
place in a can of water. Use a dis
carded tin can. To prevent it from
boiling over, set the can in a dish
pan of water. Bring the water to
a boil. By this time the water in
the can will be nearly boiling and

State College Hints
To Home Makers
There are several MUSTS when
it comes to washing knitted woolen
garments. If they are followed,
you'll have lovelier garments and
fewer headaches. First, always use
lukewarm water both for washing
and rinsing. Use only mild soap.
Never rub. Keep in water only
long enough to wash and rinse.
Never soak.
Don't wear until exi-esslvely soil
ed. Mend all snags aivi rips. Button
buttons, fasten fasteners and take
articles from pockets. Do not over
wash. Squeeze suds through the
garment five or six times. Two min
utes is sufficient. The rinsing
should be done as gently as the
washing. Never wring or twist wool
ens. Roll in a towel to absorb ex
cess moisture. Then spread flat on
a dry towel to dry. If pressing is de
sired, press while only slightly
damp with a warm iron - using a
cloth between the iron and wool.
